Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Cheryl, again, i was on it for 6 weeks. Im going back to my doctor tomorrow and will get re-tested. Not sure what it will mean if it comes back negative. Just hwo long can one be on ABX at one time? My doc said 2 months she had someone on them before. I hope the two days in between my two 3 week dosages i wasnt on the ABX didnt mess up the effect of the ABX though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2000 Report Share Posted May 29, 2000 Sounds like you were having the expected reaction of someone on Antibiotics with a bacterial (i.e., Lyme) infection. The timing is a strong indicator. Feeling sick is what happens when the die off is happening. You should have kept on going to day 28, these responses then happen monthly. Hopefully you will start having more normal days, except when having a " Herxheimer. " You're in the right place to learn...

Thanks. >> Hi, I did not write the above response, but highly recommend you go to Lymealliance.org & read " Microbiology of Lyme " - it's a 4 or 5-part tutorial on lyme. Will explain to you in graphic detail why these diseases are so insiduous & why lengthy treatment is frequently required. Hope this helps. Blessings!

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Dear Craig: Some Lyme patients require months+ of Antibiotics. The norm is: till all the symptoms are gone plus two (2) months. Take care, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hi, Thanks for responding. This is my story with ABX so far...... Ive been on ABX for 3 weeks, felt pretty good the day after i stopped the ABX, then felt lousy the next day. Then went back on ABX, then on for 3 more weeks. I have now been off ABX for a week and still feel lousy. Im going to see my doctor tomorrow. Comments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 On and off won't work, You have to stay on Antibiotics until all the symptoms are gone, plus 2 months. Sincerely, Annie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
