I have been diagnosed with Lyme by a CD57 of 90...it looks like I have had it for 7 years. It started really subtely then kept getting worse. Luckily found a great doc - who is not a self described "expert" but did give me three months of ABX right away and recommended cowden as well...but I have read that these abx may not be enough:

Metronidazole x2 daily
TB Amoxixiin K Clavulanate x2 daily
Minocycline x2 daily

I also have done the cowden for 2 months with minimal results. Just started the antiobiotics (day 11) and they have killed me so far (bad herxes and SO TIRED...at first felt like I was on acid with the flu)

Any suggestions - I am brand new to dealing with this! Happy to find such a great resource.

Thank you all,

Ted
