So I know you guys are tired of hearing from me. I have been feeling a little better but I can tell the remaining symptoms are tooth related.
The first symptoms I had were occasional chest discomfort and tooth pain. Things gradually got worse and my health has really decline ed.
My fear of getting tooth pulled and inability to take meds has put me in this awful position.
Anyway if the infection is causing the chest issues wouldn't the zith help with that? Anyone take zith while having chest issues?
I know zith can be dangerous but it's looking like that or death by tooth.
It is what my doc is recommending in spite of chest pain since it is only med I don't herx on.
I mean I have had chest pain off and on for years and it has always tested ok except tachycardia once or twice.

No, we are not tired of hearing from you!
I can tell you that I feel a lot better after getting my problem tooth pulled.
I have taken zith while having heart palpitations. In my case, my doctor ok'ed it, and I got checked out by a cardiologist, so I swallowed hard and took it.
Still... wouldn't getting the tooth pulled be preferable to this misery?

WP, her lyme doc warned her of the danger of having this tooth extracted without being on antibiotics. See this post of hers under the screen name "gigimac"
Go on Amazon and type in Cryptolepis Sanguinolenta Natural Extract Tincture on the Search line and read the Customer Feedback. The first Customer Feedback from K. Reese is about using Cryptolepis for an infected tooth.

Wpinva in what ways did you feel better after tooth was out? My dentist can't see any obvious infection. I just know there's pain and head pressure.

After extraction - could sleep through the night, better energy, less weighed down, less of that overall sick body feeling. Just somehow feel lighter and more vibrant.
Still get tired of course, but it takes me longer to get tired and I bounce back more easily. Still do have headaches but come to think of it, they may be less intense than before.
Also the tooth pain is gone.
I did feel worse about 5 days after extraction and that lasted for a few days and then I improved. My dentist (enlightened guy) said it was a "healing reaction."
Before extraction, the edge of the tooth by the gumline was dark and dentist said the tooth had developed a cavity. And it hurt. Oral surgeon said he didn't see any signs of infection when he pulled it. But based on how I feel, I'm glad it's out.
