I have been on Ceften, Azithro, Minocin, Flagl since january 1st pulsing Monday,Wednesday,Friday 2 weeks on 1 week off

My treatment will be changing next week to Ceften, Azithro, Malorne, Artemisinin pulsing M/W/F one week on one week off.

I am terrified and have already sent a request to cut the dosage in half for the first week. I was wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations with this combo.

I am in Canada and going to Washington, DC for treatment.

regards maps [confused]

I'm on Ceftin, Zithro, Bactrim, Plaquenil all IV. I've been on enough different regimines to realize that it's never as bad as you think it's gonna be...

I'm starting azith, mepron, crypto and artemesia. I'm wondering same thing. Dr wants me to take art 2 pills, three times a day.

Guess all we can do is try and see.

Currently taking this plus Bactrim every day . It's been a good combo for me.

I never did well with all that pulsing. I can guess who you are seeing. I did way better when I switched to another LLMD in the same area who did not pulse.

I use ceftin, bactrim ds, flagly (two weeks on and two weeks off) mepron, arteminisin 4 days a week, cryptolepsis and I am on IV Clindamycin. Now I am getting better.

Everyone is going to be on a different protocol. The same things don't work for everyone as we are all different in our infeection, genetics, how we live and eat, etc.

Heard back from the doc and a no to reducing the dose and no to taking a week off, suggested i stay on my current regime for another three weeks
which i think i will do as i need to do my taxes and try to refinance my house - need the money for treatment, hopefully if i can do that then i will be one of the very lucky lymies.

Thank you for the input it is very helpful, i live on my own so was just wondering if I should have someone with me the first day my total daily dosage m/w/f including artemisinin is 5400mg t/f will be 6500mg

So do you think it would be necessary to have someone with me?
