Topic: Best ABX plan for chronic Lyme

I suspect I have had lyme for about 2 to 2.5 years.

I have never been treated.

We need to be our own advocates -- I don't want my

primary care doc putting me on some oral that may

not work.

What should I be looking for as an initial

treatment given the length of my infection?

I am not asking for medical advice per se, just

what to avoid and what to look for.

Thanks!!!

Chronic Lyme could really be a co-infection that has not been addressed. Get a good test done eight by IGENEX, or Fry Labs.

Pennicillins and ceftin class are the best as far as I can see, unless you can plug lyme efflux pump, or use tigercycline instead. Or both of course.
