Hi Emma,
I have taken amoxy for the past 8 months.
It has helped alot. However, about 5 weeks ago I started malarone (postive test for babs and lots of babs symptoms), and haven't felt great ever since.
My improvement from amoxy was clear up until this time of starting malarone. I started at 3g/day, and am now up to 7g/day. It helped alot in many ways, with neuro-symptoms and overall energy, and joint pain -- up until starting the malarone.
In my experience, it is very good for treating lyme, if you take enough of it. I weigh 135 pounds and I found that the higher dose of amoxy helped me in ways that 3-4 g/day did not.
Important to take lots of probiotics with amoxy, and I find it better to take it twice/day rather than three times/day -- it gives your gut more time to heal and use the probiotics, which should be taken 2 hours apart from the amoxy.
Good luck and keep us posted on your progress! I have also been taking the Buhner herbal protocol.
