I see bactrim mentioned a lot more on here-what co-infections, or just lyme are you taking it for?

Hi Shoney, Hopping on your thread to say I take it as you know, for babs and maybe bart? But if anyone reading can tell us why Bactrim has action against babs despite it not being an anti-protozoan (?) medication, I'd love to hear the answer.

I've taken Bactrim/ Septra many times unfortunately. I will be starting it again next week with Zith and Mepron.
LLMD uses this as Babs/Bart protocol and is his favorite.
I am not sure which it helped, but it helped.
I test NEG for Bart, but have tested POS for Babs at one point in my long journey.
But I definitely have Bart symptoms.

I saw my LLMD this morning. I've been on Flagyl 3 times a day since Nov 15.
Today he added Bactrim to my protocol, if I could read his writing on the script I could tell you the dosage.
I tested negative for all coinfections, but we all know that means nothing and my doctor even said that today.
He put it to me this way: He wants to attack it from as many angles as possible, said it was time to start getting more agressive.
Whichever coinfection causes the chills/sweats, that's the one he said we are targeting.
I hope that helps. I know I must sound stupid.

Taking bactrim for the fun of it! Posted by shoney (Member # 9925) on :
Jennyflyer-Chills/sweats could be babs or bart. Then again, could be lyme. What did your LLMD think you had?
Posted by jennyflyer (Member # 12792) on :
He wasn't sure, that's the thing. His philosophy is better to treat the coinfections than not.
