Hi,Its working great!! I am however doing some herxing after doing some artemesinin and tinidazole. I am ready to go 6 months longer. MADDOG

Excellent! Years ago, I once read a blurb about the combo of a nitro-imidazole and bicillin, with the latter simultaneously killing the spirochetal form, and inducing cystic formation, and the imidazole getting the cystic form. Sounds like a great combo.

Bromelain and/or other multi-enzyme tablets would probably augment the killing ability of both.

Maddog,

Have you lost any symptoms? If so, which ?

Posted by MADDOG (Member # 18) on :

Hi Crimeoflyme,The most improved I am is neural improvments. I am not raging anymore,and my far away eyesight is back to 100%.I am to old for my up close eyesight to get much better. MADDOG P.S. Never wet on an electric fence. AAAAAOOOO!!

Hi MADDOG

I wanted to ask you how long it took with the bicillin injections before you saw an improvement in your neuro symptoms?

My neuro symptoms, though not as bad as I have seen while reading others stories, are bothersome..tremors in the am, eye pain, ears buzzing, neck pain, slight dizziness if I get up too fast...

Also, I just started taking probenecid along with the injections...How many injections do you do a week? Do you do them yourself?

Thanks

Cathy

Hi Cathy,I was herxing so bad in just two nights I felt like spyders were crawling on me,after starting the injections.

Within a month my eyesight was so very improved. Then my shoulders got better,and within two months the rages had stoped.

I herxed at first every 21 days and again at 30 days.Then at 4 months the 21 day herxes stoped,and now the 30 day herxes have stoped.

I do two injections per week. I inject myself,as there are no doc's here that care enuf to do them.

I take a pennicilan that has two kinds in it.It has benzathine penn.G or (bicillan) and it has procane pennicilan G the mix is half and half. I take 2.5 cc two times a week. The procane is a pain killer and numbs the shot spot really well. MADDOG

P.S. Wetting on ones own fire hydrant will rust it up,not a good idea if you have a fire. AAAOOOOO!!!!!!

Hello Maddog..

I am so glad to hear that you have stopped herxing...what a good sign that is..I am really starting to improve with the injections too...I had the best day today..at times, I felt like I didn't have lyme..although tonight I am feeling it..but I finally feel hopeful..

Keep getting stronger, Maddog...(love that user name) my user name makes reference to my 2 boston terriers..I should have named by female Maddog!!!!
