OK. I'm getting paranoid. This is like my 3rd post in a row (over 2 or 3 weeks) that has not received a response from anyone.

I'm starting to think I have cooties or something... OR MAYBE LYME!!!

UP, anyone? [Wink]

I have not heard of this, but it is an interesting concept. Would like to hear more on this.

Okay, something weird just happened. I responded but it didn't send it to the top of the page. See if it does now!

There are many drugs that are approved for one disease or symptom that have been found helpful in treating other unrelated conditions. Your friend's doctor must have experience in using Levitra to increase antibiotic penetration in the brain.

I think it's interesting. You'll have to let us know how your friend does with this treatment.
