Clindomycin

AFAIK clindamycin doesn't come with a black box warning for potentially fatal qt interval prolongation unlike some macrolides such as azithromycin or clarithromycin for example. Apparently HCQ can...

Is it common for someone with previous Lyme get bitten by a tick again ?

Yes it's very common. And it's not just ticks that are attracted to you. Your body attracts all kinds of bloodsucking arthropods. To them you are irresistible. I guess we're out of luck......

Suggestions for Insomnia??

3 milligrams (mg) of melatonin and above is way too much and it's not even guaranteed to work depending on your exact issues. 200 micrograms (mcg) of time released melatonin is the sweet spot....

Babs clindomycin

When taking clindamycin don't forget to ingest your typical hepatoprotective supplements such as milk thistle, burdock root etc... Clinda is pretty hard on the liver. Just my 2 cents....

Finally beat Lyme.

Wait a second. So you actually had a heart attack that was induced by abx that has a black box warning? Was your prolonged qt syndrome caused by azithromycin by any chance? You're lucky to have...

What the hell is wrong with me?

Just because a lyme test is negative doesn't mean you don't have lyme or other pathogens. Lyme is a clinical diagnosis. Some people never get the typical bull's-eye rash yet they're still infected...
