I wanted to share some good news with everyone here. For over 9 months I have lived in extreme daily pain even though I was on antibiotics.

For some reason, I have not had any symptoms in 2 weeks. 2 weeks without a headache, exhuasation, sinus infection, tingling, tremors, without body aches. It is like some kind of miracle. Leading up to this I had been doing IV and then bicillin shots.

I am currently on 900mg of omnicef daily with vitamins. I feel like I have never been sick at all.

Everyday is like a gift, I am so grateful and I don't know how long it will last so I cherish every minute. There is some light for me now.

Congrats!!! Remember to keep taking your meds and Vit for 2-3 months after the last symptom has gone away.

We will keep our fingers crossed that this is it.

I love it !!!

Great news band31 ( and hopefully, you can now change your profile name ~ wink wink )

Please continue to post, you are an inspiration to all ...

I am NOT a "lymie" ~ I loathe that term ... I will not be defined by the vile bacteria that will very soon be out of my system ~ If you consider yourself a "lymie" right now, what will you have left when you rid yourself of the bacteria ~ nothing ??? ... Don't be a "lymie", be YOURSELF and fight it ...

...

And by the torrent on the banks thereof on both sides shall grow all trees that bear fruit: their leaf shall not fall off, and their fruit shall not fail: every month shall they bring forth firstfruits, because the waters thereof shall issue out of the sanctuary:and the fruits thereof shall be for food, and the leaves thereof for medicine. ~ Ezekiel 47:12

WOW 2 whole weeks like this?!?! THis is WONDERFUL! *HUGS* TO YOU!

*HAPPY DANCE* Yes keep doing what you´re doing and crossing fingers for you as well!

With Him we "live" no matter the circumstances. At His feet peace of mind can be found. Peace that passes all understanding is my quest now and forever.

Numbers 6:24-26
"The LORD bless you and keep you;the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace."

another update:

Aside from 2 bad days of a herx last week....I am symptom free for almost an entire month.

900mg of omnicef following bicillin shots and rocephin infusion.

It is possible! I am so thankful. This has changed me as a person.
