I have been on cednifir for two and half weeks now. I feel better than I have in a long time. I feel borderline normal.

The downside is the sugar craving (constant) and the yeast infection.

I am slowly weaning myself off of Lamictal (doctor's orders)...maybe that is helping also, because I didn't really need it. After I am off of that next thing to go is the Yaz. After that I will be mostly drug free...you know, except for the abx, the tramadol, the ibruphon, and clonopin (as neededd). Oh, and the ambien. I do have a delightful addiction to my ambien.

So, is anyone else taking cedfnir? In about two weeks I have to add Zithro for two weeks and then add flagyl for last week. That seems like a lot, doesn't it? But I have been feeling better, so maybe my doctor knows what hes talking about.

Hi Shinji,

Sorry you didn't get a response to your post earlier.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. That should be evidence enough that your doctor knows what he is doing!

The yeast infection is causing your sugar cravings. It is really important to address this yeast as it can cause a whole lot of symptoms that would make you think you are not making progress with your Lyme treatment. Those would be: fatigue, backache, irritability, to name a few.

You can treat it yourself with herbal supplements such as Grapefruitseed extract, Pau D'Arco and extract of oregano. They sell combinations formulated for yeast cleansing at the healthfood store, if you don't want to bother with the individual herbs. Or you can get diflucan from your doctor, although that is a little hard on the liver.

Are you keeping up with your probiotic? Some people need to take a lot more than recommended. My bottle of cold source probiotics says to take one a day, my doctor says to take two a day, but I take four of them two hours after each dose of antibiotics. It works for me.

Again, congrats on feeling near normal again!
