	All, I completed 8 weeks of doxy. Then I completed 16 weeks of minocycline. Therefore, 6 months of treatment is in the books. I go to see my doc tomorrow. I'm wondering what you all suggest I should do from here. I am getting slowly better. Slowly. Should I: A) Stay on Minocycline B) Switch back to doxy C) Try Biaxin/Plaquenil combo D) Try something else My major symptoms are (in order): head and neck pain, light sensitivity, joint pain in wrists/ankles Thanks in advance. Chief p.s. As you may have seen in other posts, I am also working on a nutritional overhaul, and exercising frequently. Back to Top

	If you are looking to target lyme specifically then i'd recommend 3000mg-6000mg Amoxicillin and 1000mg biaxin. Biaxin/Doxy or Biaxin/Minocycline could be interesting. Biaxin/Plaquenil is ok but even better might be Biaxin/Doxy/Plaquenil. Back to Top

	Have you considered Rifampin? Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

	So the plan my doc and I came up with is this... going forward, (after 8 weeks doxy, 16 weeks minocycline)... 1 month - Diflucan (Fluconazole) 200mg, supplemented with Betaine Hydrochloride 2 months - Biaxin/Flagyl REPEAT note: I may sub out the biaxin/flagyl for minocycline (if deemed necessary or desired) Chief Back to Top
