So should I do it or not, and what would the worst and best case

scenarios be if I did?

Has ANYONE gotten rid of their bart this way?

I was on Biaxin for over 10 months and it didn't touch my bart.

My doctor uses macrolides with Septra/Bactrim or Quinolines for bart treatment. Usually with Plaquenil.

If you're against Levaquin, then how about Septra?

My LLMD wouldn't prescribe septra. Quinolones are

pretty much the only drugs he has experience treating bart with,

he told me.

I'm more afraid of bart/Lyme than I am of quinolines.

bart laughed at zithrox roxy bactrim, and amedmdine.For my bart, i am on tetra and cipro bactrim...pulsing low dose roxy every week or so...fear lyme. Dr B never said Erthomycins kill bart, where do these llmds come up with this? In fact he said ethros BLOCK floroquines from working. Tendon damage is rare, and mainly over 65 only occured.

I would take Cipro or Levaquin with it, it seems to be the combination that helps get rid of it. Biaxin alone I am pretty sure is not enough to treat it.
