I am currently on treatment for Lyme and Bartonella. I have been on several different medications for these infections since May 2007. To say that I feel much better now, than I did this time last year would be an understatement. I have went from near death, to a some what near normal existence. I still am not able to work full time, which is a bit depressing for me, but I am currently able to work part-time. This has helped get me out of the house, and to take my mind off of the situation. I am currently on the following medications and supplements: Minocycline 200mg/day, Doxycycline 100mg/ day, Rifampin 600mg/day, Milk Thistle 200mg/day, Alpha Lipoic Acid 400mg/day, Theralac probiotic, NT Factor Energy, Klonopin 1.25mg/day, Zoloft 12.5mg/day, Levoxyl 0.075mcg/day, Vitamin B-12 injections 3x/week, Bicillin 1.2 mu 2x/week and Diflucan 200mg every other week. I am not sure how this compares to everyone else's treatment. I feel a bit over medicated, but at the same time, I am not certain that the combinations, or dosages are where they need to be to eradicate these infections. I would like your feedback. I currently feel better, but I am still not symptom free. The majority of my persistent symptoms are neurological. I believe the next step in my treatment will be IV Rocephin. I am not sure that this is the path that I need to go, but if it helps I am pretty much game for anything. I also would like feedback on any special diets that are being prescribed for Lyme. I have underwent food allergy testing, but it did not reveal any significant allergies. I know that there are special diets out there, but I just do not know which foods to incorporate or eliminate. I just want to do everything I can to beat this. I know that it is possible. I just want all of the information and help that I can get to make it possible, and in return hopefully help someone else out there in the same situation. Sorry, for the novel. I am just needing some clarity and support from those that are going through this horrible infestation. Thank you for your time and help!!! God Bless!!! |
