I have had enough of daily pill popping even though I have to anyways the aded pills are just getting to be too much

I think I will invent something where we can eat food with the meds in them and never pop another pill again like people use applesauce to hide it for children nad senoirs,,,,

I want to know this:::
how many people on this board have been thru IV treatment and how long before they stopped and how long did this make them better or have they left the board after IV treatment and figure they are feeling fine now.. how many come back??
I have heard that IV treatmetn makes a big difference in overall welbeing..

IS there any NEW theories on treatment in the past 18 months or 2 years that I should consider? ones that arent too costly...
any hwo that sums it up.. I have to get off here for a bit my back is locking up again..

Maybe try making a tofu, strawberry (frozen), protein milk shake and crush some of your pills it in to make life not so popping?

As for answering the IV questions.. I wouldn't think any one person could answer them they way they were asked.. as I doubt anyone keeps tract of "all" of the people. If you want one person's experiences.. maybe reword your question?

As for new treatments in the last two years... Maybe ask others what they think worked for them?

NOT trying to be picky... or cause you more work.. but the wording makes it hard to give you the good answers you need.

As for low cost.. I do low dose single therapy. Very cheap. Quite effective.. less down time.

Hope your back unlocks. Ouch on that!!!

My therapy is the opposite of Tincup's.

I take meds that are working on the babs and all the forms of Lyme all at once (Billicin injections, Minocycline, Biaxin, Planquenil, Mepron, Artemisia). For me, it's working quickly. After three months of therapy, I've gone from 15%-50%!! I've even been able to go on long walks after dinner with hubby. The therapy I mentioned is the new one I'm starting on this week, previously I took doxy instead of mino, and Omnicef/Probenecid instead of Billicin.

I think different things work for different people. My LLMD is aggressive, and that works for me.

TC thank you okay now consider her comments and figure an answer for me please I can not think enough to reword what i wrote...

enuf for me to read anymore my vision is starting to get real blurry lately..

Sixgk,
I hear ya I have been there when i began treatment 4 years ago popped as much as i could stand and more ... then weaned back down a bout 18 months later to doxcy and left it at that then before my move to Fl I did the cyclic method and take my double doses the first week of every month.. seemed to keep them in check but I have run out I got some when i was sick and left work from my LLMD but then I didnt get them the last 2 visits..
and I am not being treated any more so I am SOL for the time being until we move and i find a better way of living..

although I keep hoping I will ( find a better way of living) and so far I seem to be making all the wrong moves.. seems to be a common thing with brain fog...
It is a sad thing when you haev to rely on teenage boys to pay all your bills for you!

I just thank God that they love me enuf to do just that.. but what a burden for them to carry..

If only pigs could fly I might win the lottery....
anyone else agree with that one...

Hugs to you all on the board

glad to see you back TC...

L8r Linda D
