It's been about a month off of abx. I was taking 2, then 4 tablets of Nystatin/ day for about 2 weeks after that and I stopped that a week ago because I ran out and wasn't able to get another prescription (have to discuss more with my doctor).
Yesterday and today I've been showing flu-like symptoms. It could be because my immune system is weak.. Sore throat, chills, fatigue, head/eye pressure (as usual). Slight air hunger as well. My emotions have kind of been crazy too the past week.
My symptoms come and go, today and yesterday they've been pretty bad. I'm now leaning towards babesia, rather than y/f overgrowth. Whenever I eat, it makes my sx much worse. I've cut out gluten, fruit, red meat, sugar, carbs, caffeine, dairy, and alcohol)
I'm starting oxypowder tonight for a 6 day cleanse, so I hope to see some improvement. If it helps me I will assume it IS y/f overgrowth, but if not, I'll lean more towards babesia
Has anyone on here used oxypowder and shown improvement with lyme?
Website says it's proven to be safe, but I just want to be sure it actually is. I haven't had many GI problems either, but I've heard there's a connection to the head and GI tract. So I hope this cleanse will clear my head up a bit.
[Sx began Aug. 2016. Diagnosed Jan. 2017. Doxy from Jan. to May. Zithro June to July. Tested neg for co-infections, but LLMD suspected Babesia. Mepron for 2 weeks (w/ Zithro), got bad heart palps, so stopped Mepron. Stopped Zithro shortly after as PVC's continued. 2 month abx break. Ceftin 2 weeks then stopped b/c head pressure got much worse. 2 weeks Nystatin- beliefs of y/f overgrowth]
