First off, I may have started a thread like this not too long ago, but if I did, I cannot find it. So, I am creating a new one is that is the case.

OK. I have been on my current protocol for 2.5 months. My tinnitus and walking issues persist, but my tingling and numbing has subsided. Wondering if I should consult my Dr for a protocol change/adjustment.

However, I had a dental infection that was cleaned out earlier this week. Maybe that was holding back some healing? Should I keep up the protocol as the dental issues may have been holding up some progress?

OR, am I just being impatient and 2.5 months is not very long?

When is you next planned appointment? I usually stick thru same protocol every 3 to 4 months between appointments, and only consult for a change in extreme situations. Generally my LLMD would stay the course if I said I was seeing some improvements.

slow and steady wins

I think 2.5 months is early for a change...especially since you've had improvements.


The tinnitus may take awhile to clear if the cause is from damaged nerves. They can take awhile to heal.

2.5 months???? You just getting started!

You're on a good path... just keep it moving and keep the detoxing, good meals, be good to yourself. And keep good notes.

Your dental infection likely stirred up some demand on your immune system so that might pause any progress for a few weeks. You might consider oil pulling with an antimicrobial like oregano oil - could help move any residual infection along.

My Lyme-knowledgeable neurologist suggests that neuropathy, like the tinitis,is caused by inflammation, which might coincide with the dental cleaning. He suggests this cocktail - I've not tried it - I do pretty well with Japanese knotweed, turmeric:

Niacin 100mg once/day
L-lysine 500mg once/day
Lipoflavonoid one tablet once/day

Thank you!

I just get a bit anxious because I need to keep working. I'm coming to the acceptance that that may not be the case, and it's frustrating. I don't want to hold on to a protocol that isn't working. And I'm still new to this, so not sure how long I should give it.
