Hello everyone, I have recently been diagnosed positive with Lyme Disease (1.23). From my understanding, I have probably been carrying the disease for a little over 2 years now. I live in Harris Co., Georgia and I am looking for a local LLMD. Can anyone help me?

I was on the same combo plus herbs and quite literally felt the same way you do. I felt like my hormones went off, my heart went off, anxiety through the roof, truly was insane.
I talked to my LLMD and was taken off the clindamycin and placed on doryx (form of doxy). I started that 3 days ago and tonight I'm starting to feel awful too.
I used to back down the abx a bit when I felt awful and then go back up when I began feeling better.
Talk to your LLMD about a med change. I understand that sometimes it's a herx and hitting something hard, but we have to be able to want to function. I literally felt like walking death on that combo so I can totally sympathize with you.
Good luck and let us know how you make out.

I bet it's babesia then. Not that you can't have fever with babs but I was wondering if it was a reaction to the Bactrim. I googled it and you can have fever with a reaction.

My llmd thinks babesia too. No treatment change. Is that normal? He just wants me to detox more.
He wants me to get liposomal gluthione (sp?) But its so expensive. Anyone have experience with it?

Clindamycin hits babs, so does bactrim. Maybe he's waiting till your bug load is a little down to add mepron or malarone. Detoxing sound good

Babesia. These symptoms for me are without a doubt babs.
What test did you take? The tests are garbage. Try an Igenex babesia fish. There are many strains of Babs, so the tests are only so good.
The fish test is pretty broad, so that is a good shot at finding a pos.
I would detox as much as possible, but you'll most likely need Mepron or Malarone, or both at some point.

Here is what Dr. H of NY said about using glutathione to detox. From the 2010 lyme conference:
Herxheimer reaction:
Take-home message: DETOXIFY YOUR LYME PATIENTS!
It does NOT matter what antibiotic you give people, they will NOT get better without detoxification
For Herxheimer reactions: 2 Alka-Selzer Gold (no aluminum) in 8 ounces of water with lemon or lime followed by 6-8 capsules of glutathione or 1500 mg of oral liposomal glutathione.
70% will feel better in hours
[end of Dr. H notes]
There are plenty of old posts here about glutathione. Some have said the suppositories are the best. (Of course, IV is the very best.) Most top lyme doctors are telling their patients to take glutathione as it opens up the detox pathways.

I found it at a local pharmacy. Call around rather than drive around.
