That is true. I will discuss with LLMD about the work thing. If he wants me resting then I may have to look for some help. Just until I can start to feeling a lil better...
Yes 250mg zithromax is the only antibiotic he has me taking plus the Diflucan once a week for the yeast. He said 1-3 months before I would even start to feel the slightest bit better. It's hard to...
Thanks yea sounds like it would make sence. I wish I could just stay home and get better but I can't. I see my LLMD in 2 weeks. If he instructs me to chill out on the working then I just may have to....

Thanks. I will have to mention that to my LLMD. I have to see him in just over 2 weeks. Hopefully if I do not feel any better he will have a different plan for me or just tell me to b more patient...

Has anyone seen doctor M in Alabama? If so please let me know what u think about him. I recently saw him and he diagnosed me with Neuroborreliosis. I am currently being treated with Zithromax 250...

Ok thanks! How exactly are u able to get it? I saw that a doctor has to sign off on it. How exactly does that work? Does the doctor have to order it for u?...

I had just a basic test from quest. I didn't have a Western blot done. I will have to check. I doubt my primary will help with that. All she is good for is writing prescriptions... I am sure my...
