My LL doctor just diagnosed me with lyme disease and Bartonella. He says i have signs of having Bartonella also.
He put me on Zimmerman 250 mil 2xs a day for 30 days and oil of oregano pills and a daily probiotic.
My question is,is this usually the antibiotic for lyme,zithromax??so much medicine....
And he said i will get worse during this process. So nervous
confused

Shanny - Your Dr. put you on Zithromax 250 mg twice daily for 30 days?

Zithromax is one of the antibiotics used to treat lyme, yes.


Did he discuss with you what would be next? ie Adding a second antibiotic...perhaps Rifampin for the Bartonella?


Do you have a good detox schedule? you should start that a.s.a.p.

Probiotics need to be taken daily.

How about something to support your liver?

If you experience heart palpitations from the Azithromycin then immediately ask your doc for a different antibiotic such as bactrim or minocycline or whatever.

Macrolides are known to mess with the heart. Check the FDA warning.

I'm not on a liver detox pill,he never said nothing about that. Should i get one?
I think the probiotic is making my stomach hurt more then the antibiotic.
Im on 30 billion live cultures of probiotic 2Xs a day. So 60 billion all together.

Liver detox is ESSENTIAL! The problem is that you need to find the right formula for YOUR body. Do you have MTHFR? If you do, do not take Milk Thistle, because it generates glutathione. People with MTHFR should NOT be taking glutathione. Taking care of the methylation pathway is a delicate process, and your doctor can give you more information, and tell you when you’re able to take glutathione again, after the methylation pathway is corrected, which is usually one of the last things to treat.

I don’t take probiotics. I never felt they were doing any good. That doesn’t mean I’m right. I take digestive enzymes with each meal because my globulin is too well, which means I don’t digest my food well at all.

By the way, WELCOME! 🙂
