Guest guest Posted October 30, 1999 Report Share Posted October 30, 1999 Hi everyone, I have not written to the list for awhile. I am in Arizona. I was diagnosed last March after 10 long undiagnosed years. And, I was very ill when I finally asked to be tested for Lyme. I had 9 weeks of IV rocephin with oral doxy followed by six months of bicillin injections and oral levaquin. I definitely have improvement in the severe neuro symptoms but I am still totally exhausted all the time and in a lot of pain. I have decided to try flagyl and went to a border town in Mexico yesterday to look at the prices of various antibiotics. Thought you might all find this interesting. Everything is about 60% less. I couldn't find levaquin. I did find ceftin and zithromax. Flagyl was $ 75.00 for six months worth (500 mg tid). I know this sounds scary but I talked with my doctor about it and he thought it would be fun. It is all in sealed boxes with the manufacturers name on it. Very strange!! What can I expect taking flagyl re side effects?? I am going to continue taking it with the levaquin until I run out of the levaquin. Will I ever be better?? I know i have to really commit to exercising and trying to get a handle on my weight gain but it so hard when you feel so tired. Also, anyone else ever have really bad foot pain before?? Mine is awful!!!!!!! Some mornings I can hardly walk. What a way to be at age 38. sdale, Arizona bit in Minnesota I think in 1988, late stage, chronic,neruo lyme in treatment now for 8 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
