Hopefully most of you won't recognize my name as I haven't been on here more than once or twice in about 6 years. I'm recovered since about 2008 after being sick since 1990.
Anyway, I'm here to ask that someone take a look and hopefully respond to my question over in Seeking a Doctor.
I have a good friend in England who was diagnosed with Lyme last August. You know the story: Still sick and symptoms in various parts of he body. She's bouncing from specialist to specialist for this part and that part now.
Many of us have been there. I'd like to convince her to see an LLMD and accept it is incompletely treated Lyme and possibly other TBDs.
Thanks!! Dontlikeliver (2)

Bb hides out in "persister" cells.
Pulsing Rxs is a good idea. Days on, days off.
In addition, *consider* the following:
D-mannose (OTC) to "lure", Minocycline to destroy, Claritin to prevent reaction (and for other reasons)by impacting the H1 receptors on the macrophages.
It is not unusual to combine a "sugar" (mannose is a sugar) with abx. (to "increase effectiveness")
I'll go check it out.

Welcome back to Lymenet!
Glad you are doing better, but sorry your friend isn't.
PM sent with links for UK Lyme Support Groups, two LL herbalist names in the UK, and two good LLMDs' names in Maryland if she wants to travel to and from the U.S.A.
