I can’t get compounded methylene from a pharmacy to get the recommended 100 mg of MB a day for Bartonella, but I can order this one...
the problem likely lies in the persistent and biofilm forms of bart, which are not really killed by rif, doxy and azithro. After reading quite a lot about these microbes, i've come to the conclusion...
I know about MB, never tried it, didn't think it would be that effective + i'm not sure about the side effect profile (serotonin syndrome and possible hemolytic anemia, if you have G6PD gene...
I can't seem to find any info regarding its efficacy against bartonella (no studies using it on Bartonella). Ying Zhang from John's hopkins did several studies using doxy, rifampin, azithromycin,...
Okay, i conclude it is probably from tinidazole, that is treating some kind of protozoa infection. I am taking tinidazole pulsed only on saturday and sunday, and yesterday after a whole week of...
Even though, i never had blood in my stool, but what i had, even just recently, were some kind of reddish/brownish "things" in it. At first, i thought maybe it was blood, but then i googled and it...
Now that i think about, what if it is colon cancer or worse, autoimmune like Crohn's?...
I never drink. In fact, it was a wedding, for which i was invited and i drank a lot that particular night. Though, i've had this type of discomfort for a few days before that wedding. But by the time...
I've been on doxy, azithromycin and tinidazole for almost 2 weeks now. Untill the 12 day, i didn't experience anything beyond more headaches or weakness, that i was able to deal with. But since the...
Thank you. Another question, what is the maximum safe dose of doxycycline a day?...
I'm wondering why you are so concerned about that in particular? Last time i couldn't catch my breath while on rocephin. I know it is a long road with these abx, but i have to be careful, you know....
Ok, so i think my symptoms on abx may be linked to POTS or eleveted heart rate, palpitations, and hard breathing. How do you treat POTS? I know Dr. H discusses it, but how is it treated? Salt? Does...

I will start today doxycycline for the first time in my life, what are the chances to pass out due to anaphylaxis? I was ok on azithromycin....
Minocycline is hard to find. Only way is to order online, but until it comes, there could be problems....
I know that Zithromax crosses the BBB at 500 mg and Doxy crosses it at 400 mg. Correct me if i'm wrong. Also, can Doxy cross the BBB if i take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg before bed? Or it needs...
Don't do lumbar punctures dude, this is crazy ancient medieval torture. Even if you have cancer, bone marrow biopsy or lumbar punctures is something to consider only when there's no other options....
How is one even supposed to survive this hell called Lyme Disease? Why it even exists in the first place? This planet we call earth isn't habitable....
Damn this is scary indeed, i was researching lyme complications and this freaked me out. I'm 20 y/o, how predisposed to blood clots am i?...
I have a little white coat on my tongue suggesting Candida. Do a lot of you have candida and if you do, how i'm supposed to take abx for lyme and also treat candida at the same time?...
I now read, sorry. It says the inflammatory response from a herx reaction isn't as big as from an ebola infection, so that's why you won't die. But it pointed to that it might happen. But anyway, i...
Yes, but i've seen somewhere someone saying that herx, like mine, could be so severe that it basically is an anaphylactic shock. So.....
You know, since the last time i suffocated and couldn't catch my breath and had to get into a fight with my father, i'm seriously thinking about if i need to take abx. Can a severe herx kill you? Are...
It seems it indeed can cause heart problems. So, monitoring my heart you mean blood pressure or should i take ECG every week?...
Is Tindamax really that powerful that it is enough to take 2 times a week? I was prescribed by my lyme doctor 2 times a week, but didn't see any difference while i took it that week. Or it keeps...
The irony is that it was discovered by Victor Babes, a microbiologist who isolated the parasite in the 19 century, yet we still don't even have available testing at all in the whole country in 21...
Will taking daily 200 mg of Doxy 2 times a day, 500 mg of Tindamax once a day and 500 mg of Zithromax once a day be a good schedule for treatment? Do they interact with each other and is it safe to...

I think both CD 57 and Elispot are a "joke" and just about every test that relies on immune response rather than actual bacteria, specifically in the case of Lyme Disease, is a "joke". Under the...
I found something, he def knows about forums where i discuss this, even in my own language. From his words "doctors dedicate up to 7 years of their life to educate themselves on diseases, so they...
Well, since i was born in Europe, specifically Romania, my father doesn"t know english. I have to translate everything to him. I wish there were some subtitles for Under Our Skin for him to...
Since i've gone to the only person able to help me in the whole country, my idiot father thinks of that doctor (a heroic lyme literate doctor, although not ILADS trained) as a quack. He thinks that...
bluelyme, i've read through your comments and i was shocked... You had visual snow and afterimages that were 24/7? And you also have toxoplasmosis as i have? Please explain what bvt is, and how...
One question I have about people who are on abx for months, do you take the abx everyday or you pulse them on certain days and take different kinds of them on the other? Right now my abx protocol...
Wb test....
Can it be treated? I've never had cats, I actually don't like pets, but tested positive for this infection that creates brain inflammation along with Lyme....
So what herbs Buhner and Co. advice to use when you have severe brain fog? I think its because of people like you, chronic Lyme still isn't officially recognized and people commit suicide since they...
Some people DO feel worse eating gluten and/or sugar. I recently had a reaction to one drink with alcohol. Some of us do, others don't. Sugar and gluten don't affect me - but it's an individual...
I don't see how a gluten free or even a sugar free diet (alcohol is just meh, so not even a daily intake) are going to make a big difference when all we are chronically infected with multiple...
I can't even find Dapsone in my country. Dapsone and Pyrazinamide are hard to get for some reason....
I have reactivated HSV-1, CMV, Varicella Zoster, Coxsackie, Echo virus, HHV-6, Rubella Virus. Thankfully, i don't have EBV, as i was evaluated by my LLMD and no proteins were reactivated on any of...
Yes, i didn't buy his book (yet), but i'm planning to. I'm about to start abx protocol with IV Rocephin, Azithromycin and Tinidazole. Can i throw in there together Dapsone? I heard it penetrates...
Anyone?...
IV rocephin 4 grams daily for 5 weeks isnt overkill? My lyme specialist gave me this prescription. I've never heard anyone get this much in a week, let alone in a day....
What i'm afraid is taking Minocycline, i asked for Doxy, but he said it crosses the BBB worse than Mino and that Mino is a more newer and effective abx.... and possibly an autoimmune trigger...
Yes, and now i'll have IV Rocephin, oral Minocycline, oral Tinidazole, oral Azithromycine, probiotics, Sylimarin (to prevent liver damage), Omeprazole (i have gastritis with hemorrhages, no...
I have some high activity on the WB graph between 31 and 35, closer to 35, which means its 34 OspB, but it wasn't included in the band strips for some reason. Anyway, its lyme without a doubt at this...
The latest WB IgG showed Abnormal p28, p60 and p75. And IND p41 and p43. I only know that p41 is flagella. Is there a list description to all these proteins?...
Well, Borrelia Afzelii and Garinii are European Lyme disease. Co-infections are the same....
No, Euroimmun. I live in Europe....
