How far into my IV Rocephin treatment should i start flagyl? How do you know how long to take flagyl for? How do you know when the cyst form is gone?

What does your Dr Say?
I think cyst busters are a MUST from day 1. Some people will pulse flagyl (like me..I do it for 4 days every 2 weeks.)
But recently Dr. B says it needs to be taken for 2-4 weeks continuously to have any effect on Bb.
ALso, Grapefruit Seed Extract is thought to be a good herbal cyst buster. I've been on that since day 1 too.

I asked Dr R about cyst busters and he does not give them until the end of treatment. I wonder what the difference is?
Also he told me that the Rifampin he just started has the ability to enter the cyst form. After looking up the drug it states that he is right.
I see your 95% well now on most day after such a short treatment. I think I may find your protocol better? My sympstoms are mostly all neuro..dizzy, cognitive.

- Why let the cysts build up?? Get them as they are being formed.

I would think that your LLMD might start Flagyl when you're no longer having intolerably bad herxes. Flagyl can be really difficult to tolerate because it basically causes something like herxes for some people.
