Daughter 12 is on combo azithro and mino and doing great...llmd wants to start pulsing tindemax on the weekends.

My llmd gave me rx for tindemax also, but Not pulse therapy. Neither of us has started Tindemax yet.

Tindemax seems to have a link with Malignant Cancerous Tumors.

Can you share your knowledge and experience using this drug....

was thinking of trying Grapefruit seed extract as cyst buster.

I know Cyst buster is essential for Lyme treatment, but looking for safer alternitives if available.

I don't know - my 5 year old did 3 weeks of Tindamax after a tick bite (tick was on for 2 days before I found it - daughter has seen it, but did not know what it was).

That said, Alinia is also a great cyst-buster.

The three of us are on tindamax two days a week. No side effects. I am also doing grapefruit seed extract. My kids are 15 and 18. It has been a year of taking it.

We did herx a bit in the beginning on day 2.

My 14 yo dd has been pulsing Tindamax for 5.5 months. It does cause significant herxes for her but she is finally improving and herxing less when she takes it.
