Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted 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 *smile* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
