Hi to all it's been since Jan. that I've been on here.

I got off of the IV Doxy in Jan. after 5/6 months of being on it.

I've felt so much better.... than Bamb! Stress came into play, panic attacks, numbness in fingers,

migrains, terrible leg pain, awful fatigue, back, shoulder and neck pain.

then I got Bronchitis and went on oral Zithro and Prednison (only for a week)

It's been 3 days since the last antibiotic and now I've been up ALL night!!!!

Can that be from the abx? Maybe I was never in remission? I had to go off the Doxy due to extreme itching!!!!

I do have an apt. with my llmd in 2 weeks. It's been since Jan. that I've seen her....

I DO NOT WANT to go back on abx.!!!!!! I'm sick it! On and off for 3 years just plain tired of it!

Tired of being sick too!!!!

Anyone have any thoughts on this? I'd love to hear from someone

Thanx, guiney

better to treat with abx unless/before symptoms get worse, which hopefully they don't.

if you have beaten the borrelia down a lot with iv doxy you may be able to go the oral route as your bacterial load is lower.

best of luck. only a bump in the road!!!!!
