Topic: Bad joint pain upon stopping antibiotics?

I'm curious if this is a normal occurrence - I recently stopped the oral antibiotic cocktail I've been on, both to let my gut recuperate and because I'm about to switch over to IV rocephin. The second day after stopping I woke up to bad joint pain - much worse than I've been experiencing lately. Has this happened to others?

You can reduce the joint pain by reducing inflammation.
Bodywide inflammation is one way the immune system responds to a systemic (bodywide) infection.

There are a number of things that can help to reduce inflammation.

Low dose Naltrexone

Systemic enzymes

Magnesium
Fish oil

What do you do for the yeast when you get it? And what does magnesium do?

When oral clindamycin no longer worked for me to keep joint swelling and fibro pain down,I looked at Buhner's herb book

and chose to try teasel root. It's working very well, in tincture form. I do about 5 drops a day in water.

My LLMD suggested I also do curcumin capsules too, so I take 500mg daily.

That combination keeps down joint swelling for me.

I second the teasel root. I feel like it has been super helpful for me. Just discovered this about a month ago. I hope it helps you!
