I'm currently taking Biaxin and Rifampin together. Do you think there would be a benefit to rotating what I take with the Rifampin? Like take Minocycline and Rifampin for awhile (like two months?), then switch to perhaps Septra for awhile, then back to Biaxin perhaps. If one works better, you might stick with one for awhile. Thoughts?

Some people do three ABX every day protocols, correct?

I have appointment with LLPA today, and we will probably discuss a variety of possibilities. I don't think we'll make major changes at this point.

I think i would be inclined to do three of them together - rather than in pairs - esp if you suspect bart

this is a pretty typical abx combo for lyme with bart - ie
-a tetracycline like mini or doxy
-with a macrolide - like clarithromycin or azithromycin
-and then a rifamycin like rifampicin or rifabutin

rifampicin and clarithromycin also tend to cancel out each others upregulation / downregulation of CY450 enzymes in the liver that can otherwise cause issues ( acc to Burrascano)
(many of us with lyme and esp lyme with bart already have liver issues )

Dr J’s protocols are two abx with Rifabutin.
I take mino, Ceftin and Rifabutin -but not daily.
