the dermatologist said I may have lyme disease.
What is the appropriate amount of antibiotic, what kind and for how long?
Thanks for your response.

200mg of doxycycline twice a day for 4-6 weeks is standard, but hard to get doctors to prescribe.

An LLMD would prescribe that amount.

This is the Diagnostic Guide for treating TBI's. It is followed by most LLMD's, as a basic protocol.

http://www.lymenet.org/BurrGuide200810.pdf

It combines multiple Combinations of antibiotics at high doses.
Along with important supplements and vitamins, life-style examples, and exercise regimens. In fact, it has so much researched valuable information on how to fight this disease, I suggest you copy and paste so you can refer to it frequently.

You can also utilize the lymenet's 'search' function to learn what has worked for the members of Lymenet. Very helpful.

P.S. You would need an LLMD to get this treatment protocol. Main-stream medicine simply is uneducated about this complex disease.
