I'm wondering how many have taken Daraprim and how many have been treated for fungus during their course of lyme treatment.

I just had my phone consult with a well known LLMD and he just put me on daraprim as of today as a anti-parasitic in addition to malarone and criptolepsis. It must be good or he wouldn't prescribe it.

Some info about Daraprim-

I didn't see anything about it being an anti-fungal.

I took Daraprim along with short courses of Diflucan and Nystatin so it can be safely combined with antifungals during Lyme treatment.
