Stopped my 20 day course of Alinia a few days ago. Now my floaters are much worse.
Anyone know why? I guess parasites is one obvious answer.
But Dr. K also states floaters can be lyme or babesia. Alinia hits both of those too.
Thoughts? My twitching is worse too, BTW

I have the same issue. I think it's parasites and either alinia doesn't completely treat them or new ones just keep hatching.
High dose ivermectin got rid of them for me but they crept back over a few weeks once I stopped it.

- Are you taking in enough antioxidants? Regular enough, with waste moving on out? (The latter is just rhetorical - to consider - no reply required.)
If not for either one, that can increase floaters.
Increased liver or kidney stress can contribute to floaters, too. -

Book & website: THE EYE CARE REVOLUTION - by Robert Abel, Jr. M.D. (Ophthalmologist)
- Though not at all about lyme, this is one of the best reference resources on my bookshelf that has wonderful chapters, many graciously available through their website.
ASTAXANTHIN - an antioxidant that has great promise for the eyes
Also be sure to get your FISH OIL - Many here really like OmegaBrite - just Google.
TAURINE is an essential amino acid for the eyes. Be sure your diet includes plenty. Vegetarians MUST supplement as it's primarily in muscle meat, fish and eggs. - -----------------
