I've had Lyme since I was 12, 32 now. Finally got it whipped as much as possible when I was 19. Fast forward to 29, got a nasty chest cold and once I was done with that Lyme came back in force.
During my chest cold I was on Ciprofloxacin and finished it up with Doxy. I felt awesome for about a month after that, haven't felt that good since I was a teenager. Got up early in the mornings, got work done, general work soreness and tiredness, but nothing like Lyme n Co. I felt like a human.
In August of 09 I crashed, treatment for Lyme started in Sept 09. The point of this is I want to know if anyone can see a pattern with the meds I've taken that helped vs the ones that haven't.
Cipro Doxy Amox in very high doses Flagyl grapefruit seed extract ceftin omnicef azythromiacyn rifampin raw garlic
Most of these caused a big herx reaction, then after a month or so when the herx died down I felt better. What does it sound like this is treating?

When you ask what this list is treating, do you mean more than treating Lyme, like co-infections too? I always suggest that people look at a list of symptoms for the main co-infections and see whether they think they match any.

Check into treating G.I. parsasites, an often overlooked co-infection of Lyme. Google parasite symptoms and do a search on here for parasites. Humaworm also has a good symptom list.

These meds are all used to treat lyme.
Rifampin treats bartonella, and doxy also treats ehrlichia.

Cipro also treats bartonella.

The tests are ridiculously inaccurate, the symptoms overlap. That is why I am asking what it sounds like this is treating from the reactions to the medication.
TF, that's what I was asking. I am being treated for Lyme n Company, this is what is working. I want to use this as diagnostic and follow that road a bit.
I would like confirmation of my thoughts to see if I'm on the right track.
