I get bicillin shots 2x a week. Sometimes I am a day late, or I can't handle the herx so I wait. My doctor says back if if flare is too intense.

I'm assuming they're Bicillin LA injections, which is the long-acting bicillin. If that is the case, it is no problem to space them that far.

In fact, when I was prescribed bicillin years ago for Lyme, I was instructed by my LLMD to do 3 injections per week, and he said it didn't matter if I spaced them out, or did all three in one day, as long as I did 3 a week.

Maryland Mom,, How long before you saw results , what did they feel like, if you can remember??

Did you do a cyst buster back then?

Any body else?/
I have questions on Love affair with Bicillin Boxer moms' post

Thank you all very much... I really do take notes ..I just don't want to waste time /med/money/life//
I often hear it slightly different hear

Like I was never told to seperate Art from abx , then saw TF post it,
I was told to take with grapefruit juice , yet have not seen anyone else mention this..

So please be patient...

I know I'll feel more comfortable when I feel that light break through a bit, NOt the main White light yet, and can dress and pop in kitchen without it being a major on major event.

Not a big deal at all. I take mine 3x / week. Monday Wednesday Friday. But some weeks it is Monday Thursday Saturday etc.

It is a very slow release drug, so no issues if you miss a day.
