Thanks, all. It sounds like some people take meds and don't herx, but remain sick anyhow. True???...
Girlie and cd3764, Thanks. I will read up on detoxing. If this new regimen is indeed the killing off of a new strand, and I'm herxing now, I'm wondering if I'm taking enough as described in my post....
I finally got into a Lyme doctor! So happy, but the new regimen he put me on has been tough to switch to. I was basically symptom free pulsing doxy and Flagyl, on again off again, for over 30 days....
Thanks for the great answers. To sebreg's point, does anyone know the recommended minimum treatment time for those with a recent, acute infection?...
All, I have a new doctor's appointment tomorrow. Fourteen days since been on two abxs. Feeling great, but still have deep fatigue at certain times, numbness sensation in both hands when waking up,...
Girlie, thanks! And are these considered "antimicrobials?" Or just overall immune system boosters?...
Girlie, Went to EarthFare to find herbal treatments and no one knew how to lead me. I meantioned "antimicrobials" but to no avail. Perhaps you could help? Also, do the natural anti-m's also require...
Everyone's posts have me thinking that the real problem is with the testing controversy. Can anyone help me figure out why the tissue test is so controversial? Why do ILADs say it is legitimate? Why...
Thanks, everyone! Sorry I left out geography...I am from Memphis, TN...
Any suggestions? I will eventually get in to see mine here, just can't wait that long... I need to get started! Thanks, everyone. And if there is some protocol to this question that I'm unaware of,...
To JDB15, Ha... You're our double agent ;-) I'll add one facet to this: lawsuits. Until the CDC, and other widely-accepted institutions of research catch up with what you all know, doctors will not...
Whoa. It seems like the world is against us. My doc even degraded a Lyme's doctor based on one story she heard. You could tell by her tone that she does not think it's "real science." She says, "You...
Someone tipped me off on this forum (sorry for not remembering who:) that ID doctors are a waste. Does anyone disagree? Those who agree, can you please explain why it's unnecessary? Thanks!...
Someone asked: This is day fourteen since initial symptoms and day ten since being on the doxy. (Day three NO symptoms.) Still not sure about how to figure out if/when to pulse. It seems strange to...
Wow, everyone. This is great and overwhelming advice. Pirouette, I went and got the probiotics for starters. I love the call back idea...might be able to bump up in the line, and talking to the...
Sounds like some great ideas. And thanks for bumping it up for extra exposure....
Hi All, I'm new. The only Lyme doctor in our area (Memphis, TN) is booked out until November 23rd, and infectious disease until August 11th. SO, I'm on my own for awhile. Here's the background: the...
I just started Flagyl yesterday. I was hoping to take it in conjunction with mino but I'm using doxy. It helped my brain clear up within the first hour of initial dose. They gave me 500 mg three...
