Pharmacist Evil Eye!

My pharmacy told me they got all kinds of cocktails for tick borne infections and there are all kinds of different Protozoa in these ticks these days. He said don't worry we got all the drug cocktails for your tickborne infection right here he said some people are on them for 2 years! I was the one rolling my eyes after.

What antibiotics are you taking and what doses?

To be honest you have to weight the costs and benefits. Would you rather take a slightly toxic medication or suffer from a very toxic disease? For me I would much rather take the medications.

You have to remember to be careful though, take your anti-yeast medication, take the probiotics as if they were part of your treatment plan always away from your abx, and of course limit carbs and eliminate sugar. I think the worst consequences from abx are when people don't do these essential things there could be bad consequences to someone's digestive health like yeast, c.difficile infections and diarrhea, etc. I think these are reasons why the medical community at large is against long term abx...

There are some studies that show gall stones forming from long term ceftriaxone use. I would rotate my probiotics daily and eat very little meat while taking the antibiotics. No processed foods.

Hey Lymebabe that is awesome. I would love to talk to you about your experience there sometime. How long are you there ? I have considered going there myself and taking my son. I know it is expensive though. You seem to be having good results ?

Aw, sue - I'm sorry.

This is a perfect example of someone that should not be in medicine. You would think that their reaction would be concern...not judgemental or disapproving.

Hang in there sue - it does get easier!

Well hey Sue,

Maybe you look younger then you are...

I got carded last night at a bar, it was hilarious but I'm at that age now where it is 100% okay if you card me lol.

Try to take your probiotics 2 hours away from antibiotics and at least 1 hour away from food. How are you feeling today?

That is one of the reasons why some people don't understand what is going on with us. We can get from 'ok' (bearable) to almost not being able to stand in just 10 minutes.
It's hard to deal with, difficult to live with too. Sometimes you start a chore and you feel like you can do it, cause you're kind of ok, then BAM, over with it... can't finish it cause you're all of a sudden feeling like utter crap...

I try to live by my pace, my distorted rhythm - lol. I don't care if people look at me as if I'm dramatizing things. I know better.
You're getting to the right attitude to get better Sueg!!
you will go back to the old way, just patience to get through this first

Hey Lymebabe...I just looked up the wellness center you are at and checked out the testimonies. Brought me to tears. Keep us posted as to how it is going out there for you? Stupid question but do they accept insurance :-(

I referred a friend to the center who lives right by there...I hope she calls.

"...the pharmacist was rolling his eyes over the idea of taking these..."

what a boob.
