Okay, I saw my LLMD today. My last abx combo was cefuroxime (Ceftin) ** mg and azithromycin ** mg. He asked how I was was feeling with the cefuroxime, and I said "meh."
Now he wants me to keep the ** mg azithromycin and add ** of doxy.
I'm wondering if I didn't give the cefuroxime enough of a chance. I always feel terrible in August. Even before Lyme.
Also, I am a sensitive, allergic person, but shouldn't it be *** of doxy? ** mg is the acne dose, and isn't it just bacteriostatic? Or does the azithromycin have enough killing power to compensate?
He is also going to add Plaquenil. (I didn't have a cyst-buster before.) I am trying to decide if I should push for ** of doxy or wait and see how I react to the Plaquenil. What's a relatively new Lymie to do?
