Painful Eyes / Eye Floaters

(My Igenex is positive for IgG and antibodies are 80)

My newest symptom is extremely painful / inflamed eyes and now floaters.

Went to the eye doctor and they couldn't see anything (sounds like most doctors visits with Lyme am I right haha?)

Has anyone had success treating this? A specific antibiotic that needs to get in the blood / brain barrier?

I'm about to start treatment again (was in remission for a while) and want to take the right stuff!

I previously did Cowden, but curious if that will work on my eyes?

Thanks for all your help!

Yikes sorry to hear that. I have the same thing.. No pain, but I have the floaters. The eye doc found nothing. It's lyme sorry to say. My LLND lost her vision to lyme in 1 eye. She treated with IV and regained it completely. I'd suggest testing for co-infections also, because you need to treat those first (if you have any). For lyme good abx for BBB penetration are minocycline (300mg or greater), tetracycline(IDK dose), doxycycline (400mg or greater) to a lesser extent, bicillin injects (3-4x/week). IV rocephin works great.

I'm not sure about the herbs. From what I have heard from Dr. MR in Seattle they do get into the eyes. (I asked this question specifically).

Theoretically most orals should penetrate the BBB, but the ones listed above seem to work best. Good luck!

For some reason most the people I know who treated with ozone got better vision and floater went away

i don't know about painful eyes, which sounds miserable!!! I've used Stephania (1/2 tsp 3/per day) and just started Zeolites, both of which Buhner recommends for floaters. They've helped. I've been taking the Stephania for about 3 months, and Zeolites for about a week. Zeolites are also effective for detox, so added benefit!

My herbalist says that floaters are linked to parasites, so clearing those out can be a strategy as well. He has also told me that floaters are typically the last symptom to clear.

Buhner also lists Vitamin C, Zing, Lutein, Bilberry, and Schisandra as being supportive for the eyes.

I too have floaters and inflamed eyes (mostly floaters left now). My eye doctor couldn't see anything wrong either, but the floaters appeared out of nowhere a bit after my initial illness.

I don't know if it is possible to rid ourselves from them. My understanding is that floaters are quite common, but in our case I think Lyme definitely have helped the process a lot. I think it is proteins floating inside the liquid in the eyes. Not sure how we can fix this though.
