Saw the new doc in January who ordered Igenex tests as well as Chlamydia pneumoniae and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. He told me to stop the minocycline since it was not helping at all and to come back in 6 weeks. (I was disappointed in the fact I felt like I lost 6 weeks of treatment time... but I am used to that by now). Igenex IgM and IgG results were positive as well as Chlamydia pneumoniae which I found out at my 6 week return appointment on March 10.
Doc has put me on doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 2 weeks, then up the dose to 200 mg twice daily; cefuroxime 500 mg twice daily; nystatin 1,000,000 units twice daily.
Supplements he put me on are Transfer Factor LymPlus (expensive ), DHEA, Cortico B5-B6, Exhilarin, Co-Enzyme B-complex, E-complex 1:1, probiotic, vitamin C.
This is my fifth day on this regimen, and so far it hasn't seemed to affect me too negatively or positively either way, which I really wouldn't expect to see anything positive anyway at this point.
He told me that when I come back in another 8 weeks, we will "change out" the antibiotics.
Does this sound typical or normal for a Lyme treatment regimen? I know everyone is different, but does this look familiar?
It is so nice to have a place to come and ask these questions and reap the benefits of all of the knowledge and experience of the members of this forum... Thank you!!!
