I keep losing and then happily finding my passwords to stuff. I just haven't been computing too much in the last several years other than to watch folks have lives via Facebook.
Question of my day (and, I did scroll through a couple months of the flash board looking for the answer before I posted):
My doc recently prescribed 25 mg Dapsone ... 2 tablets by mouth Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Do i take the 2 tabs together at the same time (I hope) or do I need to spread them out. I didn't snap to ask during the appointment and she didn't say.
Right now, I'm no no other abx with this as it's a starter dose.
Trying to get a feel for when to take as to not interfere w/ other meds/supplements.
I just finished 6 months of Rifampin/Zith.
Thanks for any info!

I split up the dose today and took one in the morning and one this evening just in case.
I find that about an hour after taking, I get a headache and some dizziness but it fades. I also noticed several skin flares within the first week of 1/2 dose (I'm Lyme, Bart, Babs, Parvo and Morgellon's). Hoping it's a "good" sign that the skin bugs got angry and will now retreat! Probably wishful thinking!
Be well!
