Lori,

How were you diagnosed with Lymes and how long ago? I researched this and there

is so much controversy on treatment and a specialist, Nurse Practitioner, Ginger

Savely, was run out of Texas, so to speak, because the Texas Medical Board

didn't want Texas to be reflected as a Lymes Disease state. She is practicing

in San Francisco and believes in IV antibiotic therapy and had good results, so

I am hoping the same for you. She had gotten awards for her work but left

anyway.

The Texas Association website :www.txlda.org is a good read and GingerSavely.com

is her website. Can your Doctor give you some anti nausea such as Zofran to

help the GI symptoms?

My Mom had high antibiotic therapy for H Pylori and I thought we were not going

to make it, it seemed it was going to do her in but she made it.

I am thinking of you and wishing you feel better soon and hang in there.
