MDJunction to me

jaguarandcubs"MDJ is an integral part of my everyday life. Since joining in 2010, I have met so many amazing people. It is truly incredible to be able to share good times and not so good times with others who face the same health challenges. And MDJ has support groups for every condition I have. I don't know of anywhere else that can offer that. I love that I can learn from others as well as offer my own experiences for others to learn from." (jaguarandcubs)

Hi,

I have had Lyme & Babs for about three years now. I have been treated for two. Progress has been up and down. Made big strides with diflucan and amox. Digressed when given Mepron & Zithromax. My babesia seemed to be relatively dormant until Mepron/Zith regiment. Since then, I have been using repeated trials of Mep/Zith to try and eradicate Babesia (Duncani). My titer, according to Igenex, is lower (in the positivity spectrum) since first Mep/Zith treatment. On it for the third time now. Doctor wants to add in bactrim in two weeks. Has anyone found success with repeat treatments? Any thoughts on bactrim? Insight would be appreciated.

Wink Hi, I haven't had repeated treatments but I did have success w/Omnicef, Quina and Para-Comp, Arteminsin, and Lariam. The Lariam gave me a enormous herx. My LLMD had Babesia so he's been through most of what I have been through.

If you want, I can email you my protocal. He's been rotating it as what helped him recover.

Wish you the best.
