I was diagnosed with Lyme and the babesia co-infection a couple months ago. Below you will find my Dr prescribed regimen which I am concerned over regarding the amount/dosage. They are a LLMD and appears to be a member of ILADS. I have reached out, but am waiting for a reply from them.
I began my first month of treatment with supplements (bcomplex plus, sarsaparilla, sr coq10 with pqq, fish oil, alpha lipoic acid, probiotic and activated charcoal at night spaced from others)
The following month I was put on Mepron (5ml) twice a day and Zithromax.
This month I am still on Meron (5ml) twice a day
bactrim ds (800 mg-160mg tablet) 1 pill twice a day
cefdinir (300 mg) 1 pill twice a day
tinidazole (500mg) taken for 3 weeks, but only along 3 consecutive days for first week 1/2 a pill, following week 1 pill same 3 day schedule and third week 1 pill twice a day 3 consecutive day schedule.
I am concerned after reading many journals and blogs it's suggested to not exceed 3 antibiotics at once and I'm on 4. Additionally, many select to pulse all meds with days on/off. With the exception of tinidazole I have been told to take the other 3 meds multiple times a day every day which leaves me a little weary.
Lastly I am a type 1 diabetic which leaves me with a compromised immune system and I worry what effect all these antibiotics may have on my body to try and fight infections/sickness later on.
Many Thanks
