Let's face it...taking all these antibiotics, herbs and supplements is no fun. It's expensive, they can cause crappy herxs, and they are tough on other aspects of your body/health. That is the bad news.

The good news...after adding rifampin to the mix I am making huge strides toward recovery!

I took abx for 9 months did 3 months of detox, yeast and parasite treatment. I restarted abx about 9 weeks ago taking adding in a huge dose of rifampin.

I'm not 100% but I am getting closer. My head feels so much better. I don't feel like I am watching my life in a movie. It don't have that same awful foggy, unclear sensation.

I really dislike taking all these abx. I hate the herxs, the neausea, the freaky orange pee (from rifampin) But i know the drugs are working for me. I am beating bart and lyme. I will reclaim my life from this nasty mess of lyme and co.



It is a crappy battle but I am worth the fight.
