Hi,

I saw my primary yesterday.
Finally convinced I have Lyme (after 3 years!). But she wants to start me on antibiotic treatment only on Mon, Wed, Fri!

I am worried that I will just get resistance doing it that way. Shouldn't I be on the high dose regemin every day? Has anyone heard of this? She is worried I will Herx too badly and wants to start me on this then go to every day after several months.

Thanks!!

Not a good idea. It would be better to go low dose every day.

Find an LLMD. There are a few in NC.
