So she's keeping me on Rifampin and Zithromax, adding in Alinia 500mg twice a day and Plaquenil 200mg twice a day. Plus tramadol for pain.
I need to try and find an infusion center nearby for magnesium infusions.
I think she's finally ready to diagnose the big three clinically. Only one I had a positive for was bartonella and all the viral crap.

How are you finding the Rifampin, Chick?

Thanks for the update Chick… looks like you have more questions answered, more pieces of the puzzle.

Girlie is the abx guru so I don't have a whole lot to add or ask. Just rooting for you!

It's not too bad. I herxed pretty strong to both the meds for a few weeks. Big increase in pain and psychiatric symptoms. It toned down after that and I'm back to baseline of general crappiness. LOL!

"Baseline of general crapiness" - I think we've found our collective tagline.

Sorry Chick, that made me laugh.

I too am happy you have some more answers. Sorry you have so much pain and psych. symptoms. My son is going through that this round too.

Prayers and hugs to you. You sound very strong and determined.

Hugs and prayers Chick!

Well I started the plaq last night and true to form, woke up with a migraine early early this morning.
It always happens every time I add anything in! Every. Time! No matter if it's herbs or anything. Let's kill these dang bugs in my brain!

I have a plethora of stuff to take. LOL. Let's see, what have I done so far... peppermint oil, coffee, cannabis edibles, imitrex and tramadol. Feeling a little better but it's still there.

I"m so sorry!!! There's no quicker way to ruin a decent day for me than to wake up with a migraine, or to have my innerds feel like they are hooked up to an electrical outlet!

I hope things improve!!!
