Hey folks,

Here is my update on my progress after close to three months on BIAXIN: Well not a whole lot to report...have not gotten worse, got a flu shot as per LLMD(a question i see on here often).

Major Gastro Issue for week but not Yeast and clear up on its own. I can honestly say if this fatigue would lift i would be doing pretty damn well and get some motivation back.

Not complaining i would say i'm 50% better on most days than i was before and to date i'm not on any combo. So quiet update..

Curious about one thing can progress simply stall ? Again not complaining as i've done much better than a lot of folks. But if i say i'm 50% i wil say 35% came form one single bad herx...sounds funny but i want another herx if i can get a similar gain. Thoughts? Next LLMD visit is late December.

Keep the faith,

Dave

Hi.

Are you only taking biaxin?

How much are you taking daily?

I did well with biaxin for a long time.

Over a year.

It started causing me PVC's about 3 months ago. [Frown]

It may be time to add something else into the mix.

Your LLMD may have been just wanting to get your bacteria load down.

Keep us posted on your visit.

Hugs,

Geneal

Geneal,

Yes Biaxin only. my last visit i finally tested equivocal and my LLMD that wuld help with determining a course. i guess i'll find out more in my next visit.

Pardon my ignorance....what is a PVC?

Hey Dave
Glad you are doing better! For Fatigue - try taking Spirulina (Blue Green Alge). High quality. I take one from the Hawaiian islands. If you want a Herx - try coconut oil caps - extra virgin - unrefined (start with one and work your way up)
Both found at any health store.
Merry Christmas!

up...Geneal...what is PVC?

Posted by Geneal (Member # 10375) on :

Sorry it took a while to get back to you.

Pre-ventricular Contraction.

Your heart kind of beats hard then stops for a second.

It doesn't hurt, but is kind of scary.

It can't kill you though. [Smile]

I thought it was the diflucan doing it.

I stopped the biaxin in favor of bactrim ds and presto!

The PVC's went away.

Mind you though, I have been on biaxin for at least 15 months,

Before this happened. I can't take zithromax due to ear ringing. [shake]

Hugs,

Geneal
