It helps bart. Doesn't do much for Lyme.
Were you taking high quality probiotics when you were on the Biaxin and Plaq?

I respond well to cipro also. But I'm not convinced it gets at Lyme...it does go after Bart., and my herxes on Cipro are mostly just deep fatigue/exhaustion.
I don't know which other abx can be used in combo with Cipro...have you looked at Burrascano's guidelines? See http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf Posted by triathletelymie (Member # 26456) on :
I took cipro with bactrim.

I am almost 5 months with Cipro and it has worked wonders for me. I think I'll be taking it for 1 month more. I have been doing Plaquenil for almost a year now. I cannot say what it has done for mesince I have not noticed any effects from it, but I am doing better now than I was 1 year ago.
