Hello,

As I am not sure what to think or which one helped me, please read my story and let me know any thoughts or experiences!

I have been diagnosed with MS 6/12/07, but also have a Lyme Literate doctor to rule out Lyme Disease. I will get my results on 9/10/07. I am on imoxicillin 2000 mg a day for 30 days, started on 8/23/07 due to a bad sinus infection. On 8/31/07 I noticed a big decrease in my lhermittes symptoms (shocking when bending neck) which is huge for me. The only other treatment I have had since being diagnosed with MS was IV Steriod treatment on 6/13/07, 6/14/07, 6/15/07, and then 7/2 and 8/2, I am no longer on IV Steroid treatment. No real change in my symptoms throughout all of this except on 8/31/07 after 9 days of antibiotics. I am not sure if this is from the IV steroid treatment or antibiotics.

Thanks,

Rob

I guess there's no way to know. Could it even be that the ending of the steroids helped?
