I have been treating with my LLMD for the past three months with Doxy, Zythro, and Plaquinell with some initial improvement and then a plateau.

My LLMD now wants to start me on Biaxin and Mepron. The Biaxin was covered by my insurance but the Mepron was not...no big surprise.

I really can't afford the out of pocket cost for the Mepron, which is over $1000 per bottle as most of you know.

Has anyone had a similar experience? what did you do? are there similar alternatives to the mepron?

my doc likes coartem... and the herb from Africa cryptolepis. Both are powerful alternatives to Mepron... but you need a prescription for both. The best cryptolepis is from infuserve which requires a prescription. May good health find you!

Malarone in high doses.

If insurance won't cover coartem, the company that makes it has a prescription program and you can get it for free.
