Looking for advice about protocol mods

Hi all! It's been a while since I've been on here but I need some advice for adjusting my protocol. I started treatment Feb 2023 with:
Minocycline, 100mg 3X per WEEK
Methylene Blue, 100 mg per day
Artemesinin, 50 mg 3X per day

Last Feb, after a lot of pushing for a stronger/different protocol, I finally got my doc to put me on a new abx. She gave me metronidazole (500mg pulsing 3 days on, 4 days off) and fluconazole (200mg once a week) in addition to everything else.

Here are my concerns with my current protocol; the minocycline is way under the recommended dose for lyme, the metronidazole could be carcinogenic, and she is not treating any coinfections even though I have symptoms of bartonella and possibly one of the pneumonias. So now I'm trying to put together my own protocol because I'm done waiting for my doctor to stop playing around with my health.

My most obvious move is to increase the minocycline, but I'm wondering if since I've been on it for over a year switching to doxy would be good for avoiding resistance issues?

As for metro, someone recommended I replace it with tinidazole since that's potentially safer. I'm really not sure what to do in that area.

And finally, I need to add herbs/drugs to hit bartonella and the chronic pneumonias. I'm going to be doing some research on these, but if anyone has suggestions that would be amazing.

Thanks Girlie!
It looks like rifabutin interacts with fluconazole and metronidazole by making them less effective, so if I kept those I'd have to try something else for bart. Looked up rifabutin too and it's got even more interactions. But I looked up rifabutin for bart and found that dr MR recommends fluconazole instead...could be worthwhile to just increase fluconazole doses?

My doctor is supposed to be lyme literate; she even works at a lyme clinic in LA most of the week. But she's got several problems, and I'm just done waiting for her to figure it out.

Thanks for the advice!

i think its probably better to start with a known protocol from a well respected LLMD - rather than to make your own from scratch

this way the interactions are already factored in - and you know its tried and tested

Dr MR has many protocols for lyme and bart on his website - so that's a readily available source as a starting point.

also - if going alone - consider safety labs at regular intervals - so you are doing similar steps to manage the risks as you would under a responsible LLMD

things like CBC, LFT and KFT are all available at reasonable cost direct to customer in most countries now.
often from finger prick at home type samples - so you don't need to even get the blood draw done professionally.

i hope its of some help
