Hi Rubicon

Every time i quit meds symptoms would
come back in less than two days-

I was surprised how fast it would come
back - I lost ground each time--

Doxicycline-minocycline-amoxicillin

these seam to be easyest to get--jay-

Rubi,

Eventually you should be able to go longer and longer without abx.

After Rocephin you MUST follow with orals for a few months to clean up left over keets (per my LLMD). You need to get back on them now.

Yes, those meds mentioned should be taken because IV roceph causes ketes to go into cyst form (feel good) but cysts open up when roceph is stopped and (feel bad)

So don't wait for a long time IMO to get meds to kill emerging ketes (out of one cyst from one kete comes five brand new ketes)

Hate, hate, hate spiroketes, the cockroaches of bacteria!
