Thanks for the advice! It's crazy how the problem areas move around. I think one of the abx can effect the liver, so of course that popped into my head. I see my PCP this week, but she has no idea...
I have been undergoing Lyme treatment since the end of August. I started taking minocycline, tindamax, and fluconozole, along with NAC to help with detox. After 2 months, I was starting to feel...
Thanks, PeteZa. I am taking a probiotic that was recommended by my doctor. Could I still have issues with gut flora even with the probiotic?...
It's ok to giggle...I'm not going to try to be clinical or proper about this question. I've been taking Mepron (Atovaquone) and clindamycin for the past month and have had horrible gas and bloating....
Thanks everyone for the input! Traveler, I'm taking NAC daily to help with detox. When my symptoms flare, I'll do an Epsom salt and lavender oil soak. My symptoms have not returned as intensely as...
I tested negative for co's through Quest except for mycoplasma Pneumoniae and my doc is not treating that; he said it can show up a year after having walking pneumonia or something similar (I was...
I have been on abx for 2 months and thought I was finally doing well. 5 days/week I take minocycline, 2 days/week tindamax, and 1 day/week fluconozale. At first my symptoms flared, then after a month...
Thanks for weighing in, everyone! It certainly seems as if Lyme effects everyone differently and at different times of the day. For some reason, the tindamax really kicks my butt more so than the...
Yes, I'm taking minocycline 100 mg 2x/day for days 1 - 5, then tindamax 500 mg 2x/day for days 6 & 7, and then 1 fluconozole 500 mg on day 7. I take 600 mg NAC every morning, and 1 probiotic every...
I started my treatment about 3 weeks ago which also coincided with going back to work after being off for the summer. I work 6-1/2 hours a day in a building without A/C in most areas and am on my...
Thanks so much for the helpful hints! My doc said I should make the bath hot enough so that I sweat. Glad you warned me it could set off a bad herx. I like the suggestion of trying a foot soak. That...
Thanks, Girlie! Going ok so far. Taking minocycline 5 days, tindamax 2 days, and fluconozal 1 day, plus NAC every day to help with detox. I'm supposed to do Epsom salt soaks with lavender oil, but...
I know this post is a little old, but I did opt to start treatment right after I had blood drawn to retest through MDL. My result was CDC negative, but labeled equivocal per MDL's guidelines. I had...
Thanks for the kind welcome and advice! Good point, Krimpet. I also want him to have his thyroid tested. My sister and I have spent years trying to optimize our treatment for hypothyroidism and...
Thanks for the advice, everyone! I don't have any appts coming up soon, but I asked for a western blot kit to be sent to me from MD Labs. Our local lab did the wrong test when my doctor tried to...
My young adult son has been having severe anxiety and some depression, fatigue, and insomnia. He has worked outside for the last 3 summers and has had ticks on him numerous times (none attached that...
Thanks Traveler! I read through some of the "new to Lyme" and will read more later...lots of good information....
I just got the results through Quest labs and the following came back positive and still waiting on C4a: -23 IgG band reactive -Mycoplasma Pneumoniae AB IgG - high -TGFB-1 - high (range of 344-2382...
