I am taking Biaxin XL and Omnicef. I don't feel better or worse, so I am wondering, is it doing its job? My tests results show,for a lack of a better phrase, mild case. I herxed right before I had my blood work done, but since I have been on these abx, nothing. Odd to worry that I am not feeling bad........but, I wonder about the effectiveness.
The only thing that is noticeable is that I have diarhea, ALL THE TIME. Has anyone had that problem? Yeast is under control! Yeah...probiotics and diet.

Chris,

I can appreciate what you are saying; been on abx & yeast things now for 1 year ... I see no progress & wonder too IF I am making any progress or not.

Have you read Dr. B's guidelines from Treepatrol's newbie links?

Welcome to this 24/7 educational & support group board, www.lymenet.org !
Here's TREEPATROL's and TINCUP'S combination newbie links.

Print off the links then check them off as you read as you could spend several months reading all of this. Treepatrol constantly adds new links as they become available from the members here.

print & read Dr. B's (a lyme literate MD) info first; you will come back to this often.

Also, see Cheryl's extensive web sites on: LD DIAGNOSIS, SYMPTOMS, & TREATMENT ... wonderful!
