I am on my second go round of babs tx. The first few weeks I felt ok-now right around the 7-8 week I feel awful. This is exactly what happened last time.
I'm wondering if it's the mepron, or just hitting babs. Or if lyme is coming out...

I am soo nauseous..more than usual. I start my day throwing up-

Anyone else get major nausea from Mepron? Or is it from the babs. Nothing helps [Frown]

Anyone pulse Mepron?

Are you taking mepron with a full meal and lots of fat (23 grams)? Unless I eat enough food or enough fat, it makes me nauseous, otherwise I can tolerate it well.

Oh, how horrible. I haven't had that, thank goodness, couldn't tough that out.

I'm wondering if maybe you need to bind at night to absorb toxins.

I would call your LLMD and see what they say...

Sorry you are going through this, beths. It sounds horrible and I would not think it is good for your body to go through this daily. I did not experience this with mepron. I was nauseous with doxy and rifampin though.

I would let you LLMD know. Perhaps you could try an alternate to Mepron such as Malarone. Some on this board have had luck with artemesinin, which I believe would need to be pulsed.

I hope you will get some relief. Take good care.

I had a similar thing happen after 6+ weeks of taking Mepron. In my situation I believe it was because of elevated liver enzymes.

That's one thing you might want to consider and make sure someone is keeping track of that frequently.

My liver enzymes were fine-in the 20's

Wish I knew what from-maybe just a long herx?
