after second week of flagyl

February 28, 2003

,

thanks for your note of last week.

for the second week of flagyl, i did two days on the weekend, rather than

three days, and carefully picked what i ate.

my stomach did much better. tolerable in that way. did get a temporary

headache as soon as i took my first dose and felt somewhat crummy all over.

Herx monday, neurological herx tuesday really awful.

by thursday i felt better than i've felt in a year, in terms of energy and

cognitive abilities.

it hurts to take the flagy, but the benefits are worth it.

have you started with the IV drugs yet?

they may not understand at your college, but we definitely do understand

here. and we're rooting for you.

best,

bluesky
