Thanks so much, Pirouette! So...update is that the lump/hairball in the throat has gone away, thank goodness! I am still taking diflucan 1x per day. I called my dr. about the nystatin powder and she...
Hi afiya4health, Yes...I was dealing with small intestine bacterial overgrowth prior to being bit by the tick, so luckily I was already used to eating low sugar, low dairy, low carb and gluten free....
Ok, thanks. Lots of good info in that link from what I've read so far. The hairball in the throat thing seems like it could be other stuff, too from what I've read. Hard to know... I will probably...
About 2 weeks into my first 6 weeks of antibiotics (doxycycline and flagyl) I started having some yeast issues. My tongue was white and icky, so I was prescribed nystatin oral suspension for 14 days....
That really stinks that there's no way to tell... Thanks for all the info. Very much appreciated!...
Ok, good. Are you still being treated? I'm curious how a person knows when they are healed or in remission from all this? So much conflicting info out there. My initial PCP told me to take doxy for 2...
Thank you! Ok....I just picked up my prescriptions...I was mistaken...she prescribed doxycycline and cefuroxime axetil or I guess ceftin 500 mg 2x day. I haven't read much about ceftin....guess...
Thanks. I'm not sure what the dosage is...going to pick it up right now. Will post once I know. I will check out Pirouette's stuff. Thanks again!!...
Thanks - she did prescribe more doxy as well as rifampin. I can pick it up today. I'm thinking I might just start it now, rather than waiting. I'm assuming I would need a prescription for the...
I just finished 6 weeks of doxycycline 100mg 2x day and flagyl. Got bit, got bullseye rash 2 days later and was treated within 72 hours of bite. I've been off both meds for 6 days. I felt crummy for...
Thanks kayaklove. My doc didn't mention babesia. I've been on flagyl for 6 weeks now and have done ok, but I will pay closer attention. I didn't know it could cause depression. Thanks....
Thanks. Just called and Her office is closed today. So I'm going to call in the am and ask if I can rifampin +minocycline or ceftin and doxy or doxy and zithromax. From what I've read on other...
Great, thank you so much!...
Hi Chapelle, no..I finished doxy on Sunday (6 weeks) and finished flagyl today. Tomorrow she wants me to take diflucan for yeast overgrowth then I'm to start the cipro and flagyl combo on Thursday. I...
Would rifampin and tetracycline or macrolide also treat the lyme?...
Hello, I just had a follow up with my LLMD today. I was bitten by a tick in June and quickly developed a bullseye rash, so was infected with lyme and started treatment within 72 hours of bite. So, I...
I would contact ILADS.org (there is contact information and a number you can call) and ask for names of an LLMD (lyme literate MD) in your area and try to get into see one. I got bit by a tick and...
Thank you so much for your responses. I have been really scared because there is so much information out there it's overwhelming and I want to make sure I'm on top of things and doing what is best...
Is there anyone here who has experienced the tick bite almost being gone and then getting itchy and a bit swollen/red again? I'm a little concerned......
In June I was bit by a tick I believe on a Friday night, discovered it Saturday morning, developed a rash on Sunday and saw an LLMD and started the antibiotics on Monday afternoon - so within 72...
Thanks, Girlie and Traveler. I will start trying some of the detox methods. I did read through the 'new to lyme'. Lots of helpful information. Thank you!...
Hi, thank you for your replies. And thanks for the encouragement, Antonio192X. Needing that today! Daddylonglegs, I am taking a B12 supplement, probiotics (30 billion) and magnesium as well as...
Hello All, I was bitten by a tick on June 12 and found it the next day. It was there probably 12 hours. I freaked out and my husband removed it completely (by hand - didn't know at the time that...
