he put me on Tetracycline and flucosanole(anti yeast pill), not sure if I can post dosage here, I seem to recall something about not doing that.
Are there any OTC probiotics that are good?
Is there something OTC (and by OTC, I mean in stores not online) for parasites?
Been on meds 3 days, should I be feeling any herxlike symptoms?
So many questions, so little brain function...

You have to order the best probiotics. VSL-3 (google it and order directly from them) and Theralac from Amazon.com
YOu can get PB-8 at many health food stores. It is also a good probiotic.
Regarding OTC parasites...my local heath food store has Parastroy. Pretty good.
Monotheraphy, huh? May want to consider another doctor unless this is just an initial regimen to start you off. Do you see Dr. D in MA by any chance? He uses Tetra.

That is the one I saw. He did say in 3 months he would switch to another ABX and planquenil(?).
Is this not a good treatment? Was my first LLMD appointment and was just happy for anything. I have no credit cards so can't order online and have no extra money so have to see an LLMD that accepts insurance.
Thanks for your quick response.

Culterelle would be better than PB8, in my opinion. Neither one is all that great unless you take tons of it. The CFU's per capsule are very low. There is also a probiotic called Align, that you can get at Walgreen's.
Good luck with this doctor. I hope you don't have coinfections.
