Need advice/reassurance about treatment change

Hi everyone,
I need some advice and I guess reassurance that I am doing the correct thing at this time.

I have been on Abx and probably just 1/2 of the recommended doses for Buhner for 9 months for neuro Lyme and co infections.

Recently it was confirmed I have 2 types of yeast and also that I have no good bacteria growth in my Gut.

This happened even though on probiotics( the first few months I did take them improperly, my mistake). I haven't had any negative stomach symptoms so didn't realize this was the case.

So.. it was suggested I give abx a break and heal gut and build immune system.

I was at 90 % healed.......so so close only a handful of irritating symptoms left andsome good days oncein a while.

I stopped all abx 6 days ago and at the same time increased all protocols to the full recommended doses.

A few other herbals were also added in per recommendation of APRN(Lyme Literate, functional, integrative medicine).

So I guess I just need reassurance that its ok to stop the abx because I have to get rid of the yeast so I can fully heal.

I'm just a bit nervous even though I am aware that the herbal protocols are a valid treatment in place of the abx.

I guess I felt I had a safety net of sorts taking both abx and herbals and now that's gone.

I have had an increase of symptoms and feeling worn out, probably from increase in herbals( a good thing if its hitting things).

I just hope I get better.
I know its probably the right thing to do I just need to get this off my mind. Thanks and sorry its so long.

I wish you all the best, Take care, Jo

Thanks for the encouragement Purrrsiankitty,

I just was doubting myself and needed to hear it will be OK, its difficult to be sure when stopping abx and increasing herbals that the increases in symptoms is from one or the other.

I am so glad you are making progress!!! Keep up the good work. Take care, Jo

A safe move. Taking a break on ABX after 9 straight months is definitely okay if you are still going to take herbs.

Personally, I don't even see herbs as being inferior to ABX, so I wouldn't even be worried if I were you. You are in good hands with the proper full dose of Buhner herbs.

Gut health is equally important as actually killing the bacteria in my opinion.
