Seeing Dr, how many days of doxy?

A month is a good start - but at this point you do need to treat until symptoms are gone.

And hopefully your LLMD will add a second antibiotic to the mino in a few weeks.

You do know that even if the next test is negative - it doesn’t mean you don’t have lyme.

You had a bite, with a rash and symptoms developed

I’m glad you are getting treated.

Hi Girlie! I will make sure to ask for more antibiotics after this round is done. I forgot she did also give me Tindamax to take but just on weekends. I am worried that since the Lyme blood tests are so inaccurate It will keep coming back as negative just like my sisters did, she didn't test positive for three months but hopfully i can keep pushing for more antiboitics. Thanks for your help!

So I went over your previous posts - you've only been infected since mid October?

If that's so...its possible that daily mino plus tindamax two days/week may be sufficient.
Hopefully your LLD will gauge things...and if you're not getting better after several weeks...she will look into adding another antibiotic.

Hope this is all you need and it will be in your rear-view mirror ---- and you'll be saying "sayanora" to lyme disease.

Yes, I started the antibiotics two weeks after the rash appeared and I will be on them for a total of 6 weeks. I hope it will knock it out too! Thank you so much for your help!

You have a really high chance of knocking this out .... good luck....and keep us posted.

I would say yes. Your symptoms are not gone yet. You need to keep treating. BUT I am not a doctor and there ARE risks to abx (like all medical treatments...)

You did get an LLMD, correct? Maybe ask for their guidance in this and let them know that you have an extra month of meds.

Thank you Kris Rox, yes I do see a LLMD that is a good idea I will ask her at my appointment on Wednesday!

You may want to fill the script and have it on hand...just in case.

Thank you for all the helpful information. My LLMD wants to me start 3mg of LDN, hopefully that will help my immune system fight the bacteria. I also found out that I have a double genetic mutation called MTHRF which makes my body harder to detox, I am making sure to take epsioms salt baths and dry brush regularly.

Yes, I am on minocycline 2 times a day and TINZADOLE on weekends. I thought the LDN was started high as well but my sister even started at 4.5mg, she had side effects at first but now its really been helping her so hopfully I will get good results too.

Thank you for that article, it was very informative!
