I think I have had lyme (was dianosed with Babs back in 08 which seems in remission now) for 5 or 6 years. My dentist gave me 2000mg of Amoxicillin for the last two weeks and I haven't felt better in years. Any thoughts on this? Should I find a doctor to allow me to continue at this does, especially if it just happens to be the type and dose of medication that really seems to suit my condition? Did I get lucky? thanks, jeremy

Why not get to a LLMD. High dose of amoxi is a lyme treatment.

That's good news!! I think the dosage for Lyme is double that.

I think an LLMD would want to add a cyst buster.
