Thanks !

I had clobbering headaches, too. Has your wife been tested for coinfections, too???

OTC headache rememdies were like eating candy for me...they did NOTHING to relieve the pain. Has your wife tried any of the prescription migraine meds? There are so many now. I used to take Relpax, 40mg. That would take the edge off and sometimes the headache would even go away, at least for a little while .

How long is she going to be on antibiotics?? I hope it's more than ten days. It needs to be at the very least two to four weeks.

Is she being treated by an LLMD?

Is she on probiotics? did the doctor give you any advice on how to keep her healthy while she's on these antibiotics?? Probiotics are a must and can be found at a health food store. Take on an empty stomach. They are ususally capsules. I take florastor and prescript assist. We don't want your wife getting a yeast infection, systemic or otherwise.

Feel free to ask any questions. THere are a lot of knowledgable people on this board. We are all helping each other. That's what it's all about.

Peace,

Connie

Yes, we caught it early. Saw the rash last week, and when she had unusual fatigue, went it to see the doc right away. We're in a lyme-infested region and two of our dogs have already had lyme, so we pay attention. 30 days of antibiotic. Sorry, but I'm new to this board and not up to date on all the jargon. Don't know what an LLMD is, we're seeing our local general practitioner (HMO gatekeeper, no choice....), and haven't gone to a specialist yet. Also Idon't know what a probiotic is...?

Probiotics are the good bacteria like that in your stomach and intestines. Antibiotics kills all the bacteria in your body both good and bad and so the good have to be replaced. You can get enough though by eating cultured dairy products like yogurt and acedophilus milk.

LLMD is a lyme literate doctor and there are some who will work with your primary care doc over the phone.
