hi,

I am finishing up my 1st month of doxy (200mg a day) and the dr wants me on for another month.

She said after that, perhaps IV antibiotics, and then mentioned LDN. Anyone out there been on it?

After 3 wks of doxy I am not feeling "better" but feel I have stabilized, my head feels less heavy, and my mood improved. But can't say I am feeling a lot better...

Thanks for any thoughts.

Been on it since day 1. love it.

200mg / day of Doxy...it doesn't sound like you see an LLMD. The dose is way too low. PM me if you want my Dr. She is great.

bcb1200-how do you protect your stomach-the doxy is killing me. Do you have bart and lyme (I thought rifabutin was like rifampin)

Wish I was at 95%-hope you continue to do great!

gracefullyteaching doc may start her on a low dose before switching to IV-my LLMD started me low and slow initially

I dunno..I just never had an issue with it really. I also don't burn easily on it. Guess I"m lucky.
