i was on biaxin before all this trouble. it seemed to help with the twitching and muscle problems.
can one abx only help with lyme or must you use several? the flagyl has caused tremendous stomach problems.

My LLMD believes single drugs can. The Dr. B surely doesn't based on his guidelines. I believe based on what I've read and personal experience single drug therapy is mainly a band-aid for symptoms and for most people not a long-term cure/remission. Some may be lucky and see improvement, but unfortunately I'm not one.
I do feel Biaxin is a great drug though. It made life more livable. Zithromax to me is a pitiful waste of time orally.

I took Biaxin for 18 months. I credit it with a lot of my progress and recovery.
I did take flagyl with it periodically, if I remember correctly.

Hi Randi --
Like the others have said -- it takes several ABX at one time for both Lyme and also Babs--
But if I could Only take One abx it would Biaxin -
It works slow but it dose work well --Jay--
