Barb:

Yes, that is the combination that I'm taking. I'm also taking Vantin

twice daily. I'm hitting this like a freight train.

I'm almost day 30 into the Fluconazole. My Infectious Dz. Dr. wants

me to do at least 2 months and probably more.

I don't seem to be having any drug interactions. No vertigo or

nausea. Just fatigue but that is my constant companion anyway, so

very hard to evaluate whether it's truly worse or not.

The high dose of Fluconazole was selected based on the Schart study &

suggested by my ID Dr. We know that Fluconazole doesn't kill

borrelia, but possibly starves out it's nutrients.

My ID Dr. has a handful of patients on this protocol, not enough time

for data to roll in on whether it's effective or not.

Although my Igenex test came back glaringly positive, I'm not even

sure I have Lyme. I have all the hallmark features of Mixed

Connective Tissue Disease & I have a lot of antibodies in my blood

that could've cross reacted with the Lyme bands.

In answer to your final question, the jury is out as to whether it is

helping or not. , who is in frequent contact with my ID Dr.

states that patients are experiencing most noted improvement after

day 30 of the protocol.

Hope this helps. Patrice
