Wondering if anyone knows if antibiotics stop

new lesions on brain?

Does it have to be Iv form?

Do the pills work just as well as IV antibiotics?

Have lesions on brain and I'm told Copaxone will stop new ones.

But,the question is What will work to stop lesions?

With IV,does a combo of meds need to be taken?

Good combo of antibiotics,or the Copaxone,or both for lesions?

Any info. would be great

Thanks!

Have no new lesions nor do the old enhance since doing lyme treatmen (5 yrs now).

Did oral combos and did IV tigecyl last summer (4 months).

Suggest you get copy of the DVD
"Chronic Lyme Disease: Connection to MS- Facts behind the controversy"

my LLMD's presentation from the University of New Haven
http://www.newhaven.edu/unh/lyme/

from the copaxone site: http://tinyurl.com/phv8tu

there is an interesting video explanation
at the end of this paragraph on the website.

appears to be/work as an antinflamatory

"COPAXONE� is believed to change the way the immune system reacts to your multiple sclerosis by preventing harmful cells from developing and by stimulating beneficial cells in your body.

These ``good'' COPAXONE�-activated cells then enter the CNS and help reduce damage at the site of lesions.1 "

In my case IV treatment has NOT stopped the lesions....

I have been on IV treatment this time around for almost a year and have suffered from lesions and damage to my Pituitary Gland causing Addisons Disease.

I guess it depends on the person and how bad the case is....

I think a good resource is the www.cpnhelp.org website. They believe that c. pneumonia causes alot of MS and other afflictions. You might look at their protocol and see if what you are doing could be tweaked along their lines.
