Dr. Visit update - new protocol - plaquenil, Bactrum DS & Flagyl

Just got back from seeing my LLOD. Anybody have any pros and cons to this protocol? Alittle leary when I change ANX but I want to keep improving. Also still taking A-L complex 15 drops twice a day and teasel root.

Been on Omnicef since December, long time. Biaxin for 3 months and Flagyl I only do it 3 days out of the month and since December. I have had a lot of improvement.

Not sure if I have co-infections, no real strong symptoms on any and never got tested for the co-inf. he figured they would eventually show up.

Not a problem, Girlie, I had a few days here and there where I felt better 2 months into treatment but 4-5 months into it I had good days several times a week and now I have a lot of them. I don't even keep a journal anymore cause I feel a lot better, say like 80-85%.

Everybody is different but I am happy with my results so far but I am tired of taking ANX and soon I will tell him no more, let's go completely herbal.

When I first got infected I was so sick I wanted to die but I had a fight in me to beat this thing that was attacking me. I made myself swim since it wasn't hard on my body. Then I found Ayervedic medicine doctor and those herbs made me feel about as good as I feel now. Took them off and on for about 7 yrs, they no longer do tours in the U.S. But I have the name of one in San Diego who supposedly treats Lyme so if I ever get desperate I would go that route again.

Sorry for the long comment. I like reading and learning what others have done or are doing. Hang in there, you will start having more better days. I even cheat and eat gluten and sugar, I have a real sweet tooth but I don't notice that it affects me when I cheat. After losing 25 pounds I have gained 7 back cause of cheating on my diet.

Girlie that's funny, I love cake, pies, ice cream,etc. you could bake gluten free, that's how I started cheating, then it went down hill from there but those don't seem to affect me.

Glad your having a few good days and they will keep getting better and better.

I am very active, put in a garden this summer, did a lot of canning, it hasn't stopped me very many times. Plus I clean homes and offices for a living so that is hard work. A lot of times after work I've just sat around for the rest of the evening on my hard work days, just 2 a week.

I would say felt about 70% better on the few days I felt better after several months of treatment. But also when I didn't feel good and of course it hit me on my hard days of work, I didn't think I would make it through the day.

The bad days, I guess the herxing, were pretty bad in the beginning, so I felt worse before I felt better. I changed up how I took my ANX so I wasn't crashing when I had to work.

Then also I would skip out on the ANX cause the taste was so bad with the Flagyl and Biaxin and with all that I am still getting better.

Hang in there, it will keep getting better!
