I am recovering from double pneumonia and it has been two weeks and I'm still not clear. I expect things take longer with Lyme, but what can I be doing more aggressively to take care of the mycoplasms? I really don't want to go through this again! I don't see LLMD until April.
For the pneumonia I took tamiflu and 2 zpacks while on levequin, ceftin and tindamax.
Any advice would be appreciated?

Things are never dull. After 3 fighting Lyme, 2 are in remission. Youngest is still sick, age 22. He has new diagnosed Chiari Malformation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.

I should have it covered then. I wonder if I retest, if my numbers will be down on mycoplasm pneumoneia?

This is a combo that patients with compromited immunity take.

Doxy 200-300mg/day
Ciprofloxacin 1500mg/day
Azithromycin 500mg/day

Normally in people with good immunity just one of these meds will solve the problem.

Take care

I have been told that mycoplasma titers can vary on a daily basis and not to rely on testing alone, especially if you still have symptoms.

Cipro and Levaquin fried my brain and it took over a year to heal it.
