" Nelly, I recently started full time doxy and ocassionally pulse clarithromycin (from my personal dwindling stash). When I pulse, I notice a deep penetrating,rotating, boring pain in an area where I had an absess on my left maxillary ostium, and pulsating pain at other less infected areas. It seems this combination really gets to work on the bugs (doxy and zith didn't???). Could you find a link so I can take the info to my doc? Thanks, > As I said in a previous post, I have been doing a kind of Stratton protocol for the last 2 months. I don't want to cry victory too soon, so I'll be very prudent. > > As some of you know, I have tried many abx regimens over the last 5 years and although many had a deep impact on my symptoms I either was not able to continue due to extreme reactions (mainly excrutiating headaches-actually they should be called something else- also increase of inflammation everywhere to the point where I thought it was dangerous) or to worrying drops in blood parameters (severe neutropenia with the penicillins and the cephalosporins) or to very mediocre to nil effects (clarythromycine even with plaquenil which made me catatonic). > > I always noticed the most improvement with metronidazole/tinidazole but high price to pay in terms of HEADACHE and feeling toxic. > > I also suspected that I needed to take abx that have good intracell penetration from the word go (I did the Jadin protocol in 99 but one week a month just wasn't enough for my level of infection which I am sure was massive), and it seems that a combo of 2 abx (macrolide and cycline at average levels each) is what is needed as per Stratton/Wheldon on a continuous basis, the short bursts of imidazoles once a month seem to be tolerable and might lead to a gradual erosion of the bacterial load without too much of a payoff. > > I will keep updating if I have enough eye autonomy to do so. > > Nelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
