I'm going to South Beach, Miami this weekend until Thursday. I am really looking forward to laying in the sun and soaking in the salt water. I am trying to make this trip an opportunity to really cleanse and eat very healthy.

I am currently pulsing Mepron 3 week on, 1 week off and I take Bactrim DS everyday. I am stopping the Mepron this friday and I also want to stop the Bactrim DS as well. I am worried about the sun and I think my body just needs a break.

I will still be on chlorella 3x5 tabs a day, cholestyramine, A-FNG, A-V, high dose salt/c, olive leaf, alpha lipoid acid, and parastroy. Also probiotics.

Do you think it's okay to take a break from the Bactrim? I have been on it since December. I've gained little progress with my head pressure/head aches. I am determined its fungal or viral after the huge head herx I had when starting the A-V/A-FNG and chlorella.

I think it would be okay. I would bring the meds with you just in case. You could always ask your doctor what he/she thinks.

I hope you have a blast!

I would go for it. Check with your doc to make sure.

I went to Disney and stopped while I was there. No big deal. Check with doc.

When I went on vacation the doc said it was fine to stop my meds. I just took probiotics .....it was nice.
