Hi all!

I got my new course of ABX: ceftriaxone IV. My doc wants me to get 2g daily three days in a row, and then 4day pause. And this for 6weeks.

Do you have any hints/suggestions for this? I have read about pulse-dosing, but the recommendations are about having double doses daily. Do you think this would be sufficient?

I think it is very efficient!! When I first started rocephin I did only 2 grams total over 4 days and it whooped me.

Don't forget to take care of your gallbladder :)

Pulsing is great. I'm on 4 days and off 3… I hope you can tolerate the 2g well. I it took me a very long time to work up to 1.5g (9 months…)

IHL is RIGHT!! Ceftriaxone is known to challenge it. If you're not taking Ursodiol or something like it, talk to your MD.

And make sure you're on a good probiotic and good antifungals!

Thank you for the quick replies! I already took a 6week course of ceftriaxone (2g 5days a week) end of last year without any serious side effects.

Pirouette: As I remember you have also the "weird" headache. Am I right? Did it lessen during the treatment? For the first course, this was the only symptom that did not lessen for me (not even temporarily).

I am doing much better with nearly all of my symptoms since I started the Ceftriaxone except hip/muscle pain and cognitive issues. The first couple of months were nasty…

But my weird headaches might have also been attributable to a high viral load, and a high fungal load, which are better now.

What have you tried? Have you tried tinkering w/ your detox? Pinella really helped me, too.

I am on the full Cowden at the moment (since April), but I am not sure, it helps. Yes, detox is important, but for me pinella is not useful enough. What makes me a quick difference is sauna, or hot bath (and I amtaking NAC, molybdenum too). This makes me temporary relief. Besides, I recognized during the summer that going to the beach has also a very good effect (thermal water also helps).
And I have a suspicion that root canals are also linked to my symptoms somehow. After one of my root canals was opened and re-cleaned, I felt much better for weeks! Last week this tooth started to get inflammed again, and I have a flare-up since then - despite the fact that I felt myself really good last month!

Yes, the heat does two things—it helps deal w/ the lyme and any yeast/fungal overgrowth… both conditions like a colder body temp. Before I knew I was sick and WHY, I could not tolerate hot showers, saunas, the sun, or heat in general. I visited Phoenix in July twice, nearly killed me. ;)

Root canals are the root of many, many health problems. I can't believe they are still done in the 21st century… I have had to get a couple of crowns because of my grinding and broken teeth. But have avoided the root canal so far. But the tooth can go bad under a crown, and since the casing is metal, cavitations won't show up in an x-ray… So I'm hyper focused on tooth care. Glad you had yours cleaned out.

I'm not sure if you're interested but you might benefit from oil pulling and adding an antibiotic to the oil (like oil of oregano, olive leaf extract, etc.) There are a couple of other pretty popular alternatives to root canals if you do an online search. Also, I found "Cure Tooth Decay" by Ramiel Nagel quite interesting and it had great Amazon.com reviews. So far, so good…
