Here's the scenario. Treated for Lyme only for 6 months of doxy and 3 months of flagyl pulse. Had a relapse of symptoms in 6 weeks now LLMD considered Bart involvement due to relapse and symptoms (mostly neuro, brain fogg, anxiety never had any physical joint pain etc.)
Started zith 3 weeks ago and flagyl pulse but felt the flagyl was causing some side effects so stopped.
My question is do you think there still needs to be any Lyme coverage or could the Lyme be suppressed enough not to worry about as long as we clear the Bart?
Had no problems with doxy other then sun sensitivity and asked to avoid it if possible.

Can you do tindimax instead? It's a cyst buster and easy to tolerate

Your LLMD is using zith for bart? How bout Rifampin? I know they use zith in kids, but not sure how effective in adults

She feels confident with it and in only a few days of taking it my Bart symptoms (anxiety) disappeared. I think there are many others here using zith for bart. I'm allergic to Levaquin type abx.
