Hi Folks,

I actually did a search on this subject which came up blank!

I doubt this as someone somewhere must have gotten this stuff before.

Is the search function on this website messed up again as it does from time to time? Or perhaps I entered the wrong stuff!

Is anyone out there doing IM Penicillin "G" right now and oral, "Riphampin"?

Perhaps someone in the past?

Boy, doing this lefthanded is a little tough!

I mean.

I used to be co-ordinated to some degree with my left hand....but...not for this kinda thing, I guess!...LOL!

I should realize my co-ordination even on my right-handed right-eye dominant side isn't even close to what it used to be...I mean...

What with my mind opperating rather deficiantly due to neuroborreliosis!

Geez....I'm begining to get tired of this disease always cropping up, the farther I get from any "serious" abx approaches!

The ole country doctor who treated me in 1954 I hope is looking down on me and agreeing with my choice for this approach!

Even though it left me with migraines, arthritis, personality shifts almost all my life!

Come to think of it....everybody who knew me(save maybe one or two)thought I was just a "normal kid" with "growing pains"!???

Brother!

I expect to get a good deal better using this approach.

I have some oral clindamycin on hand to hit it with the penicillin next month....

I will be mindful of the tendonitis usually associated with a clindamycin type abx! (if I remember correctly)!

Anyone else go this route?

I'm hoping with whatever I glean from Marnies posts the fact that I'm doing a couple standard

diabetes2 drugs will help penetrate the infected cell walls and target the spirochetes.

I am going to also pulse some metronidazole. Which I started with a last week!

It just makes me so darn depressed I can't stay on it for long.

I guess, according to what I can also glean from Marnie...I need to ask my llmd for some "Benicor"?

Is this about right Marnie? As well as anyone else out there?
TIA(Thanks in Advance)

The combo seems to be acting a lot like the KETEK around my left ribcage(left side of body around heart/front and back) anyway.

Try searching for Bicillin (US name brand of pencillin G benzathine) and rifampin. There are definitely plenty of posts regarding each of those abx.
