Timing of meds and supplements??

I'm having trouble keeping up, remembering to take everything as it is, so my question is, is there anything I shouldn't be taking at the same time? I'm on:

Rifampin 2x daily
Zithromax 1x daily
Synthyroid
Probiotics
Interfase Plus
Artemesia
Nystatin (2) twice daily


I try to take the probiotics 2 hours before or after abx. Is it ok to take both abx at once, and take nystatin with it?

I'm also getting ready to start activate charcoal which I know must be taken away from everything else b/c it binds to everything.

Just having a hard time keeping up.

I basically take a rifampin and 2 nystatin each morning, then a probiotic in the afternoon. Then rifampin, Zithromax, 2 nystatin and synthyroid before bed. The other supplements somewhere in between.

I have the dated pill sorter but I'm having trouble spacing things out and I forgot a dose over the weekend. I just need to find a way to keep up! :)

Sorry this is so scattered I'm feeling completely wiped out at the moment, and I'm sure I probably forgot a thing or two, but I think this covers most of it!!

Nystatin is an anti fungal. My LLMD Rx'ed it to keep the yeast at bay. I hope we get some replies here too! I'm a mess I can't keep up. Lol!

Thanks Don! You're comment at least makes me feel a bit better, knowing I'm not alone in that its a difficult process keeping up with all of this!

I'm so glad dr. Jernigans protocol helped Heather. How's she doing these days?

Lymer,

Thanks for inquiring about Heather. She is doing very well.

There is a little glitch that may be a long term/semi-permanent effect of her illness however. You have to realize that she is 6'2" and has an ideal body for swimming. She had complained a few months ago that she still has not been able to quite swim at the level of intensity in practice that she would have expected by now. She insists that it has nothing to do with being sick from Lyme or anything else, and I believe her. She says that she reaches a point in her practices or in her longer yardage events in a meet, that she seems to "hit the wall."

Dr. Jernigan has been working on her HPA Axis (Hypothalamus, Pituitary, and Adrenals) for the last 3 years. It has definitely helped, but is not perfect yet. Upon Dr. Jernigan's suggestion, she has had several types of testing, and is now on a low-dose hydrocortisone therapy for about 2 months. Dr. Jernigan is also treating her to continue to optimize her HPA Axis. Some people with low cortisol must stay on the replacement therapy for the rest of their lives. We are hoping that Heather can eventually stop the replacement therapy, and that her own body will produce all of the cortisol that she needs. We are hoping that we can wean her off of the replacement cortisol by the time that she goes to college in August to start her freshman year. Having normal levels of cortisol in her body is doing wonders for her swimming. She is also more alert in school, and does not fall asleep in school!

I can give you an objective measure of how well she is doing. Only about 2% of high school aged swimmers go to college on a swimming scholarship. She is numbered among them. We are so relieved and grateful for her outcome. I am hoping for a similar outcome for you (Lymer) and the others on this forum.

Don

I appreciate this post.

for me, I wrote down a scheudle,

about what time to wake up cause I have to stuff away from food

than breakfast, meds


lunch, etc

nap,

time for errands

time for hobbies,

supplement away from food

dinner meds

snack, wait at least an hr and half

supplment without food

nite time supplement sometimes

medition, pray that I can get well, sleep

and do it all over again

I feel like suhc a freak that i have a thing of what I am dong each hour, basially

like i am in school or something, ugh my life...




but that is the only way it works for me for now.

I have cute baskets I keep my countless supplements in

and the schudle paper folded in one of them.

I am trying to sell my house, so I dont dare keep a poster size schedule up that would be easier for me though
it is to exhausting clearing everything away and keeping things presentable in my home


God help me though this, things are rough

Oh I'm definitely going to look for that app!!! I take the pill form, 2 twice daily. I'll start taking it with my probiotics, thanks warriormom!

I think I'm going to get a bigger pill sorter, the kind that says the days of the week, and a.m., afternoon, p.m. It's huge...but that's what I need! Between the abx, anti fungals, herbals, supplements, pain meds muscle relaxers...ugh, it's a LOT!
