Can anyone give me happy news about those who relapse?

I relapsed about 2 months ago and am miserable. I pulsed all my meds night before last and had a really nice day yesterday. Do many of you get off your meds often just to function? Does anyone have any stories about people who get better quickly after relapsing??

I can't believe I'm going through this again after being blissfully well for about 5 years.

PLEASE ONLY POSITIVE COMMENTS AS THAT'S ALL I CAN HANDLE RIGHT NOW.
Thank you -

Many of us will relapse after reaching 90 to 100% well and stopping Abx. I have heard that the recovery time after a relapse is improved since the person has discovered what treatment protocol and life style changes have worked for them in the past.

I had weaned off ABX and continued with an herbal protocol in 2014, but relapsed after only 3 months. It took several years to get back to 90% well again, and I have been experimenting with various ABX pulsing protocols starting at 2 weeks ON and two weeks OFF while maintaining my herbal full time, and increasing the OFF period to 3 weeks. Both times I tried four weeks OFF this past year, I get a return of symptoms. Right now I'm back to 2 ON and 2 OFF until sx resolve again, then I'll try to increase the OFF cycle time again.

Maybe you could try something similar until you get well again.

Hi Yogi!

I know how you feel, I relapsed last year also after 5 years. But 3 months back on antibiotics, I felt way better and then continued On Dr. Rawls herbals. I take supplements yes and a probiotic and lactoferrin and try to eat clean.

I get no less ever than 7 hours of sleep. Try to eat organic etc. Blah blah blah ....Don't worry It won't last long!! Hang in.
