The beginning of June I was diagnosed, given meds and a schedule. It was a Tuesday.
The cocktail of ABX was Doxycycline, Zitromax, Bactrim, and Amoxicliin. Monday through Friday for three weeks.
The last two days of the cycle I am to add in Flagyl.
The only modification at the start was no Amox. I am deathly allergic to PCN.
The next Monday after being diagnosed with a herniated lumbar disc I started the cocktail. In 20 minutes I was curled up, shaking uncontrollably, cold, and pale white.
That episode happened twice. I was told to stop all meds. I did.
Tried starting agian with just the Doxy. Same episode. Now no doxy.
So my routine is M-F, Zitromax and Bactrim, daily.
All these three weeks I have been experiencing increased joint pain, extreme fatigue, and flu-like symptoms on Tuesday and Wednesday.
(Herx, I think)
By Thursday I feel a little better. Friday Much better.
But then I am off ABX for the weekend and the cycle starts again on Monday.
I don't go to an LLMD right now. Those I have called I will not be able to afford.
Your feed back and insight is appreciated!

I have an appointment with my DUCK tomorrow.
Is it save to assume no-replies mean no one else does this or has heard of this?
Thanks, Cynthia
