MDJunction to me

Fmsdaddy"Md Junction to me is my safe place. A place where I can feel safe to just open up talk about everything without burdening my wife. With all my health issues its nice to know that I am not alone, suffering form fibromyalgia,depression, and costochondritis with anxiety is a nightmare. Having the great people here at MDjunction is so great its hard to put into words. I dont think I would be getting through what I am going through without this great resource. I think everyone should know about mdjunction!" (Fmsdaddy)

Um, I'm not an expert or even a long-standing member....but from what I've read, 2 months is not very long.

I understand that the longer you have been infected, the longer it could take to get some resolution....

Hi SB,

You list is long...so some people may be getting confused and not able to answer.

You are treating Babesia right now....

The Mepron can make you depressed and irritable.

Make sure to tell your doctor so they can monitor you.

Plaquenil is a weak drug! You need to start taking more powerful drugs such as metronidazole and I am not talking baby dosages of metronidazole you need to take 1500 mg per day!

Metronidazole is only useful in large quantities but if you take to much you will vomit like a dog!
