| A little about me: | I don't have the energy or strength to begin to update my profile right now, but I am doing IV abx, so scratch the part about the orals below...maybe I will be able to edit sometime soon. Thanks! I am pre-med biology major/ chemistry minor (on hiatus) at Appalachian State University. For years, I have thought I had Interstitial cysitis (IC), but just found out in October 2009 that I actually have had lyme my entire life. I have done extensive research on lyme disease and would like to be able to focus on lyme research once I am able to get better. I have a fantastic husband who is a great caretaker...and he also has lyme, which is so unfortunate. He truly helps me through everything I face and I don't know if I could have done this all without him! I contracted lyme in utero...I just got my gallbladder removed and I just started treatment. I am seeing Dr. J. in Washington, DC and I think he has come up with a good treatment plan! MWF Omnicef 300 mg 2x twice daily Zithromax 500mg 1x twice daily Minocin 100 mg 1x twice daily on week 3, thursday and friday, I add: Flagyl 500 mg 1x twice daily then, I get week 4 off and start over again! I am doing 2 cycles of this and then going back to see him! I hope this works and I have started herxing already! For detox, I am using my infrared sauna once a day, and it seems to help! I also take many vitamins and supplements, probiotics, and friendly fungi! I also take lyrica and lamictal for the pain, but I fear it is not going to be enough... My supplements: Probiotic CP1 from customprobiotics Saccharomyces boulardii Magnesium Ubiquinol Cod Liver Oil Multivitamin+ Iron Vitamin D3 4000 IU Lyrica Lamictal I am determined to beat this and stay away from the IV, so long as I can hold all the meds down!    |
