	Hi guys, so below is the antibotic program I have been given based off clinical findings. I am on this for 6 wks, see the LLMD again at that point we retest and take it from there. 3 x per day (2 in the am 1 in pm) [b]Doxy 100 mg each[/b] 1 x per day 5 days per week [b]Zitrhomax 600 mg[/b] 3 x per day 2 days back to back [b]Flagyl 250mg[/b] She also suggested some herbs and acidopholis. Does the above sound pretty standard? Also, how long does it typically take for one to feel a "herx"? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 yr old female GERD dx March 2007 Migraines with Aura IBS Currently no dx for: migratory joint/bone pain, extreme joint cracking, feet buzzing/vibrating, right eye pain,mid spine soreness (like a constant bruise) fatigue and dizzy spells, bumps and indents on nails.

	I am sure you will find excellent advice here. Is today the first day you are taking everything? The only thing I am on is Doxy 200mg 2x a day. I am on my 9th week. Good Luck. Hope you are feeling well soon! Back to Top

	I really am not sure about a herx. I am feeling really good. I started exercising last week (4x). I am feeling a little crappy this week b/c I got my period but I think it is just girl stuff. At this point I am not sure as to what I should do since I feel so much better. Back to Top

	That is great! What were your original symptoms? Were you dx through a positive at a regular lab? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 33 yr old female GERD dx March 2007 Migraines with Aura IBS SYMPTOMS migratory joint/bone pain, extreme joint cracking, feet buzzing/vibrating, right eye pain,mid spine soreness (like a constant bruise) fatigue and dizzy spells, bumps and indents on nails.

	My first symptom was a swollen knee. I had been at the gym A LOT and doing some fast running. The knee that swelled up was broken in a car accident 16 years prior. I am 32. My doc first idea was to test for Lyme. I thought she was crazy. about a week later I started having skin tingling... my neck hurt and I had some mild headaches. I was diagnosed about 10 days after my swollen knee. Crazy. I never saw a tick bite. I was diagnosed late July of this year. On Father's Day we bought new bikes and a trailer for our girls. We went out riding at least 5x a week. My helmet has open slats in the top and the trail we rode on was heavily wooded and grown over. I live in MD and there are lots of ticks. I assume I could have been bitten while biking. I never had ANY weird symptoms prior to my swollen knee. I would remember... I am crazy about my health. I went on doxy 100mg 2x a day for 28 days and felt better. A few weeks after, I found a tick on me! I went to the doc and she gave me 1 dose of doxy 200mg. about 5 days later symptoms returned. I had an electric feeling, anxiety, VERY tired and was just not myself. It was terrible. I have been on Doxy since. 200mg 2x a day. Since the 2nd time I started Doxy I stopped going to the gym but continued taking my girls on a walk every night. I just started really working out last week. I am not giving up this time. I am going to get in at least 4-5 days a week. I go see my Lyme Doc tomorrow. I am not sure I want to continue on ABX. I would like to try a more natural approach. I am scared though, I want this gone so I am not sure what to do. I have some mild skin crawling usually after exercising but I am not sure if I am just out of shape. I lifted a lot of weights today and did Tae-Bo. I read a lot on these boards and the side effects of a lot of these drugs scare me. I have two small daughters. They are 2 & 5. I am here alone most of the time and running around to drop off and pick up from school. I can't afford to be spacey or out of it. My husband works a lot. There is no way he could change his schedule. His work is insane right now. I just read a post that I will not get rid of this unless I take cyst buster ABX... Anything natural for this?? I am scared of the c. diff bacteria too... I know it can happen to anyone and that really scares me about taking ABX... I just feel great, almost back to normal... all this reading and research is making me anxious. Back to Top
