Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 Sue, Thank you, thank you, thank you! I will be anxious to hear from you! Yes, I am on 2 Biaxin XL 2/day which is only 1/4 of the normal dose and I have been taken off it for 5 full days after only being on the antibiotic for 10 days because of the extreme Herxheimer reaction, then I was put back on the same dose for 10 days, then taken off for 5 days again, then put back on for 10 days, then lowered to only 1 pill for 10 days, finally I was put on a total body cleansing (that is a nutritional supplement and holistic) for 5 days that really helped get rid of the dying spirochetes from all of my body. Now I am back on the 2 pills with the total body cleansing treatment once a day. I have been able to be on this protocol for 3 weeks now and was doing fine, until my doctor wanted me to cut back on my non addictive sleep meds. I was getting 8-10 hours of sleep until I started the antibiotics, then I found I had to sleep 12-15 hours due to the dying spirochetes, now I ma only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night and can not function during the day. I feel like a zombie, I am charting my responses to the change in sleep, gave him my FMS protocol from my FMS specialist that prescribed the sleep meds, (but he lives in land), and sent my doctor the FMS doctor's book explaining scientifically why he does the protocol he does for all of his treatments and for sleep, so hopefully he will reconsider what is NOT working for me at all! The lyme has really affected this part of my hypothameuis (sp?) in my brain! Give me all information and connections that you are able to, because I can not continue feeling this horrible night and day! Do you know anyone who can help with the FMS and /or sleep, too! Thanks, again! Crockett rcrockett@...
