Hi Everyone,

I've been on many and varied abx since Aug 1, 2015 for lyme and babesia. Previous many holistic treatments before diagnosis. Have had EBV, mycoplasma and much more. I am also using Rife, herbs, homeopathic, clean diet. Was sick for 6 years before diagnosed. I have a sensitive physiology so treatment seems to be very hard on my body. I have a very good lyme specialist to work with, but this person is not so tuned into my body. My liver enzymes continue to elevate. Currently feel sick, sick, sick, sick from a 3 day course of coartem (after months of mephron) and high dose of amoxicillian after months of other abx. I had just taken 14 days off all abx to try and allow organs to recover and felt good, taking walks again etc. Then 4 days of treatment and I am sick. I don't think it is herx. I think it is from treatment. For me the treatment has been brutal.

Are there any lyme type specialists who work with antibiotics in more of an intermittent way. Like a month on and a month off or something less intense than what I have been doing? Even pulsing 4 days on and 3 days off has been too much for me causing liver enzymes to continue to rise. I'm in Washington state.

Love to hear any input. Thanks,

Interesting that you felt so much better without treatment! Maybe you should consider stopping antibiotics and just continuing with the others (rife, herbs, homeopathic, clean eating). Or a regimen with a week or so off. My doctor (integrative not LL) likes one month on abx, one month off to detox (still taking herbals). I thought that was way too long off antibiotics and after a week lots of my symptoms were coming back. I guess I am not at the point where I can do that yet, but maybe you can!

I really think the key to getting better is to strengthen the body-then use abx
Strengthen means different things to different people.

Detox-metals-sauna-chorella-ect
biological dental detox-root canals-all metals
parasites
food allergies
supplements and diet to build up

Best of luck

JenL - Dr. J. (I believe he is far from you though - DC) - uses a pulse approach. Mostly take abx M/W/F and Sat and Sun off for two or three weeks, then one week off.
I have read other posts on here from members doing something similar - with other LLMD's, too.
He usually uses at least three antibiotics at once...but because it's pulsed, it seems to be better tolerated.
I am currently trying that approach (I don't see Dr. J....but I do it with the antibiotics my LLND prescribes)

Another option, as k07 suggested, would be to do an herbal approach.
