Backing off on antibiotics

So, I was pretty optimistic after Wednesday having a few hours of almost symptom free.
Five days later...and haven't experienced that again. In fact, the past two days have not been good. Don't know if it's a herx.

I'm thinking I will go to half dose of the Ammox and Biaxin tomorrow just for a couple days to see if my symptom intensity reduces.

I think that will be a clue as to whether I am herxing or not.

Mike - My LLND prescribed the Woodland Essence Restorative herb powder end of August - at my first appt. (for my adrenals) It has ashwaganda, astragalus...and a few more goodies.

But, after taking it for a week - twice per day...and then realizing that the Astragalus may not be good for me considering I've had Lyme for 10-15 months along with the fact that I was having trouble taking it...the taste is horrid, even with honey...and I started to feel a bit of nausea after it went down. I called my Doc and he suggested another supplement. When I looked up the ingredients of the other supplement, it also had astragalus...so I made an executive decision just to buy the ashwaganda and take it. I am going to see if I can get one with either Rhodiola or Cordyceps in it and that will be good for adrenals, too. I think my Dr. doesn't believe I have "chronic lyme"....he's almost too optimistic...lol...if that's possible. I'm not taking any chances, as Buhner states that the astragalus can stimulate a part of your immune system that could start an autoimmune reaction.

So what was your question? hehe - oh yah - I started the Ashwaganda about a week ago.

Revive - I take the antibiotics everyday. I do like the idea of pulsing. I read somewhere that if you pulse, you may not need a cyst buster..as when you don't take the antibiotics for several days, they feel safe and convert back. So your pulsing will mean a week off the antibiotics? Where are you in treatment? Are you close to being symptom free?
