Lyme Disease Support Group

Since your vision is being affected it would give you peace of mind.. from there the nurse can advise you weather to take the antibiotic or not..

Also if you have some raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar BRAGGS 2 tspns in a glass of water is a cure all for ear infections and many other ailments..

let us know how your doing and if you need anything else..

The dr gave me amoxicyllin, 500 mg three times a day for ten days. Does that seem right for an ear infection? Seems like a lot to me.

But if i had vision problems i would want a friend near by to help just in case hopefully there is someone you can call to watch you for a while..

if you are afraid to take the whole dose i would try a lower dose and see how i reacted to that.. b/c you are probably concerned about the herx reaction.. Take in mind i can't tell you what to do b/c i am not a doc, i can only tell you what i would do..

The Braggs might also work for you, it did help me with ringing in the ears..

I know you guys aren't doctors, I was just hoping that someone could share if they have had a similar experience.

It was my primary care doc. Haven't seen the Lyme doc yet, I see him on the 10th.

My husband is here with me tonight. He is in the army and was on a 24 hr shift yesterday.

I have started the antibiotics so we will see how it goes. The lymph nodes seem to be continuing to swell, and my vision and headache are getting worse.

I have an MRI of my neck tomorrow, hopefully I can get them to do the one that was ordered of my head as well and maybe that will give some answers.

Thank you for all your advice.

Jomomma-

Yeah, I expect high dose antibiotics for the lyme, but this isn't a lyme doc and it was just for an ear infection. Just seemed high to me.

My primary care doc said it was actually an ear infection... but who knows.

I did get cellulitis last year, actually. I got a sunburn on my leg that ended up swelling up so bad I couldn't walk.

I ended up in the ER and was told it was cellulitis. It was very painful. I don't want to experience that again!
