wladek83 — I am on bactrim 800/160 I take it twice a day MWF. No “drenching” night sweats which might be a good sign. But are you saying take 2 pills 2-3x a day? That seems like a lot but I’ve done...
Interesting as they told me the antibiotics are one of the biggest immune suppressants! And they think that was my biggest issue. Too many antibiotics and not enough breaks for my immune system to...
I kinda figured that… it’s pretty wrecked I think from past antibiotic use as well that was way too aggressive. I almost died from horrible treatment advice. Just wanted to kill the bacteria without...
So yes they were high when initially sick but once I started oral antibiotics they lowered and went back into normal ranges. Then I started the pulse dosing with Dr J and I’m in so much pain and all...
They said it was a shock to my nervous system and immune system and could also possibly be histamine. They didn’t give me much of a further explanation than that! I did a blood test from a different...
Of course !...
I actually didn’t get the same reaction taking it this past week, so I’m definitely very confused. I’m not sure if it was just a bad initial reaction from my body, herx, or the bacteria are not being...
I talked to them about the rifabutin reaction but they told me to just keep detoxing, I don’t see Drj himself but another practitioner in the practice. I’ll hopefully get more feedback at my next...
Thank you for clarifying the problems with the groups and yes I definitely need to rethink strategy here. Those are all things that could be considered but I don’t understand why I go off antibiotics...
Sorry! Thanks for correcting! All good points. I feel less uneasy but still kind of worried. just been frustrating after being on so many antibiotics for so long and still dealing with these things....
Hello, I recently started seeing DrJ for my infections. It appears Bartonella is my worst infection, before DrJ 1 year and a half of oral bartonella antibiotics and herbs and 9 months straight of IV...
Thanks for the really good explanation on that. Immune dysfunction is definitely possible. I just don’t know how to correct that. Do you have any suggestions? I definitely heard of Babesia doing...
I actually wanted to do a Tlabs test because it’s supposedly good for bartonella and biofilms like you mentioned, I emailed my doctor about it....
What is lps toxins? I did BVT for several months, about 8, alongside herbals and antibiotics. I later learned that many herbs can contradict it like oregano oil and Houttuynia, both of which I was...
Wow thank you so much for all the helpful information. Basically I should go by symptoms not tests because they aren't able to tell us much about infection load. I did Infectolabs Elispot testing for...
1. Last year I did Vibrant labs, Igenex, Galaxy, DNA connections, RedLabs, Fry labs, and later on Infectolabs. Vibrant showed me positive for a ton of different Lyme species and bartonella. Igenex...
MedicalNerd--- Yes, I did do some detox. I was doing glutathione IVs until it got too expensive, then started taking oral liposomal glutathione, NAC, Jernigan CNS PNS, Bioray NDF detox, and I tried...
Right, ugh so frustrating...
I took that all at the same time daily lol, definitely was a lot! the dapsone nearly killed me so I have had to take a break for a few weeks off of everything. Now with this negative test I’m unsure...
My lyme doctor charges a crazy amount for phone calls so I haven’t talked to him yet about the results :( I’m trying to find another LLMD but I’m finding it difficult. I have been on a ton of...
Hi everyone— looking for some input here and advice! I have been dealing with severe symptoms from my lyme and co infections for two years now, completely bedridden and housebound because of extreme...
