Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 Hi, All, LLMD said vertigo can be from the Lyme bacteria affecting the 8th cranial nerve. I had another episode this morning (still a bit dizzy). My PCP is prescribing Anti Vert. Thank you for that info - can't remember who posted ab. that - I knew what he was referring to when he told me he was prescribing it, thanks to your post. There's still some question as to whether it's the Lyme or the Claforan reaction. My liver enzymes are still going UP and I'm off the Claforan! PCP said that means the Claforan issue isn't resolved. Everyone wants my liver enzymes to go down before I get on the amoxy. I don't want to not be on abx.... but on this they all agree. At least I'll have the Anti Vert. What a roller coaster, eh? The one good thing - at every ER I've been in, and at Harvard's Stillman Infirmary, I'd talking up a storm ab. Lyme Disease, and educating as many people as I can. That includes the young residents in the ERs. I did hear the Attending tell a young resident: " If it's Lyme, anything can happen - it can do anything. " Sounds like there's one ER doc out there who knows ab. it! Healing and good energy to you all, Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 i am glad that you will be getting anti-vert for the dizziness. are you on diflucan by any chance? just a thought as that can elevate liver enzymes too. pj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2001 Report Share Posted October 19, 2001 I'm not on diflucan, but thanks for the suggestion. Perhaps the Lyme itself is causing liver inflammation, now that I've been off the abx for a week.... I did go ahead and start the amoxicillin. Don't want to undo any good work that the Claforan did by staying off abx too long.
