After nearly two years of treatment with abx and herbs, the remaining issue for me is headaches/presure all around my scalp, ear fullness, tinnitus. These symptoms flare up every month and last for about 10 days. I am getting better every month, but it seems to be persistent and slow. Has anyone finally gotten rid of all head issues? what did you do to accomplish that?
I am currently on mino and Dr. Zhang's protocol. Is it wise to stop abx now without fully clearing the head issues?
------- lyme, bartonella, Erhlirchia, maybe barbesia, Dr. Fry protozoa

I don't know Shahbah, and no one here has the correct answers. The head issues I've had since 2007 and is BS if you ask me.

I have tested negative for barbesia. Dr Zhang still put me on his artimisinan for a few months. I have taken Levaquin, rifampin and Bactrim DS for bart, seem to have cleared that.
Neither Dr. Zhang or Dr. R in NYC gave me a good answer for the head issues... So the doctors don't really know.

Shahbah - Have you been tested for XMRV? I have tested positive. Of course, the theory goes that it causes massive oxidative stress (which causes nuero symptoms) and is synergistic w/ Lyme.

thehause, i have not tested for XMRV but I am convinced this is only a cash cow, i still have never heard of someone who got cured from our sx with XMRV treatment... It's treated I think with the same drugs as AIDS and I am sick enough from abx so i don't intend to get that poison too with no results...

I'd say its too early for them to know it doesn't work and they're only in it for profit - but I understand not wanting to try unknown therapy.
