My daughter takes 2 ABX and 16 supplements. an additional 5 other as needed. This does not count her acupuncture or QiGong sessions which I consider supplements that help some of her symptoms.
Wow! No wonder I am always up at night worrying about how we are going to pay for everything.

Not sure if you want to include Epsom Salt, Podi Patches and Clay but they have made a difference and I miss them when I don't have them.
Oops, forgot B12 shots because I am still waiting for someone to give them to me again. I have all the resources...just not the strength to give them to myself right now.

10 pill-form meds and supplements (all more than one a day) and B-12 injections every three days. I'm not on any kind of Lyme or co-infection treatment right now and this doesn't include a whole bunch of supplements I had to stop a few weeks ago because of nausea. I'm also about to start daily IV saline infusions with vitamins and minerals added so I don't have ruin my stomach even more.
Went from taking a vitamin a day to taking 14 different pills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by James H (Member # 6380) on :
Tincup,
Somebody else was asking lots of questions like that a while ago, and we got all bent out of shape about it... But I don't mind at all when you ask them! Why is that? Motive? Trust?
14 that come to mind, and only one is an ABX at the moment. Just various supplements and stuff to help symptoms.

Hubby takes
Prescrition meds -- 5 currently -- we have worked really hard to decrease this from 10 he was on for last couple of years.
Prescription nutritional supplements -- 5 also
Nutritional supplements -- 32 I think -- NOT a typo. Most recommended by MD's and reviewed regularly. Instead of B complex he takes B1, B2, B6(P5P), B5 and folic acid all separately to get recommended forms and doses.(B12 is prescription in number above)
