Cured if @$#% Dr. would raise my med.

January 2, 2007

Hello,

I Know, I Know I havnt been on here in a long time. Since

recieving my Lyme Disease diagnosis in July. Ive turned all my

focuse on that. Im Thankful because if it wasnt for Dr. Metzger

wanting me tested I still wouldnt know the reason for my chronic

pelvic, back, right breast and arm and now yes both legs. All though

the pain started with chronic pelvic pain and spread to my back and

so on the pelvic pain is the worst.

I have gotten much worse lossing my short term memory, unable to

complete sentences, word retrievel ect... Ive delt with chronic pain

for 8 years now but, loosing my brain is very difficult. Ive learned

to live around and with the pain. All the problems with brain issues

are new and tuff.

Let me get to the good news though. My Dr. put me on Doxycyclin

100mg.2x a day. From much of my research and knowing Im in 3rd.

stage Lyme I decided to up my Doxcy. to the appropriate dose which

should be between 300-600mg. a day. I took 200mg. of doxy. in the

morning and 200mg. of Doxcy. at night. The first freaken day by the

end all my pain was gone!I continued that pace for 3 days and I went

from 240mg. of Moriphin to none! All though I had a great 3 days I

knew at that pace I would soon run out of antibiotic.

I went to my Dr. and showed him my info. on the dosage for chronic

Lyme patients and that I really should be on I.V ABX than doxy. but

was really pushing for the Doxcy. to be raised he wouldnt. I cant

believe a Dr. would rather have a patient on large amounts of

narcotics that by the way dont take away all the pain and make me

sick than raise my antibiotic's and stop the narcotics. So now my

fight is for proper antibiotic dosage for my chronic lyme. Um yes I

had vaginal sex pain free and it was great. A little tight after 8

years of no sex due to the chronic pelvic pain but great other wise.

I'll keep you all updated as I Go. Sandi my other Lymie sister keep

up the fight girl. hope you read this.

Love ya girls , Tami Yeah Dee will get better
