Metronidazole

When I got so sick a few weeks ago, I had to stop antibiotics, and then I was put on metronidazole for possible c-diff. I don't think I had c-diff, but strangely, I felt the best I have in this year while I was on metronidazole. Muscle, bone, and joint pain gone! Still weak and exhausted, but still, it was great!

When the two week course was over my pain came back with a vengeance within a few days. My LLMD and I both thought that was odd, but she put me ack on it for the next month, along with azithromycin and cefdinir (adding one each week).

I was researching this and cane across a parker by Eva Sapi. It shoes that metronidazole reduces the spirochete form by 50%. I thought it was just for cysts!

Hi AML94...thats wonderful it took away your joint & muscle pain! Glad to hear it...what a relief!!

As soon as I just read your post, it reminded me of this lady in the link I will post below. I save alot of good stories/reads in my pc bookmarks. It is a good story if you feel like reading. She-like you....also felt better with metronidazole(aka Flagyl).

I personally had chose tindamax over flagyl as Eva Sapi proved that to be the *premier against multiple lyme forms...but i have whole bottle of flagyl/metronidazole still that I filled and never got to take, I wonder would that do me any better as far as relief goes!? I have not had that kind of relief with tindamax. Hmmm...

I was just getting ready to add tindamax when I got sick. I know it's supposed to be better. I'm sure I'll be on it at some point. Of course, it was to be pulsed two days a week and the metronidazole is every day. We're using it because of how I responded. I can't wait to see if I get better again. I've only been off it since Sunday. I was actually doing a little housework. That was huge!

Def awesome to be feeling some improvement and doing some housework!

I havent taken flagyl before (for lyme) but Im wondering would it give me some relief as it did you and that lady because tindamax def *did something as far as herxing goes and all but I sure didnt feel any relief unfortunately. I could use some joint pain relief lately-sheesh. No one person is the same thought with these infections I know though.

Also, haha really...I think it came out that story a couple years ago or something so it has been around for a while on the net probably. I had initially wanted the flagyl because of reading that story! Also, it was alot cheaper in costs than tindy and didnt have insurance at that point. Then got my ins. going again so opted for the tindamax since I didnt have to pay full price.

Hope your on your way to making some great progress with your new abx regiman!

Well, that's kind of me too. I wasn't taking it for Lyme, and I was taking 500mg twice daily for two weeks. And I felt great! Isn't it weird how different people can be?

I was already taking B vitamins and B12 injections so hopefully that will help. I haven't been tested for MTHFR yet though. Doing that as soon as the kit gets here.
