Mycoplama Pneumoniae IGG

seyshell, I'm so sorry. I have Diverticulitis and it is pain in the lower left. I mean "ready to go to the ER pain." I have learned how to control it with fiber intake, but when it happens, oh boy am I miserable. Colonoscopy was the test that showed my doc that I had it.

However, antibiotics not only made me nauseous and throwing up, but I also got cramping in my gut.

Have you thought about an herbal protocol?

As for the knee pain and others aches and pains, mine were just a lyme symptoms.

My mycoplasma pneumonia IgG has hovered around 4.8-5.8 for the last year. My rheumatologist found it before we suspected Lyme and was treating me with Transfer Factor. I didn't notice that helped much but maybe I needed to take it longer. My current herbal protocol includes Buhner recommendations for mycoplasma so I'm curious to see what my levels will be next time.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I have all the symptoms you mention! Tennis elbow, plantars fasciitis, knee pain and digestive issues. A lot of doctors are linking mycoplasma and fibromyalgia, so it makes sense that it could cause or exacerbate our joint/ligament symptoms. I've been blaming my stomach pain on Bartonella but i could be wrong.

Let us know how the minocycline works. I've not tried any pharmaceuticals for this yet but am curious.

Buhner has a book on treatment for Lyme, mycoplasma and bartonella. The ones for mycoplasma are cordyceps mushroom power and Chinese skullcap. Also houttuynia and sida acuta are listed in the mycoplasma protocol, both of which are already in my basic Lyme protocol. Additionally Buhner recommends olive oil and diets rich in selenium, such as Brazil nuts, egg yolk, sesame seeds etc. And then there are additional herbs to add per symptoms. For arthritis-like symptoms he adds EGCG, celandine, any of the berberine plants, olive leaf, and glucosamine/chondroitin. He warns not to take the glucosamine and chondroitin with CNS involvement though. I wonder why that is.

Edited to add:I realized a had a more recent mycoplasma test taken a few months after I started the protocol and the level is 3.8! So maybe all these herbs are doing something! I had been so focused on the more recently discovered Lyme and bartonella that I wasn't paying much attention to the mycoplasma levels. In retrospect I do feel some joint improvement since earlier this year.

Lapis_29, I have never heard of nebulizing hydrogen peroxide but wow, that sounds interesting!! I also have high Chlamydia pneumonia titers and have lung issues so maybe I will try this. Thanks for posting those links.
