As of last November I tested postive again for lyme (put back on oral zithro), negative for babesia altho my RBC was low. Long story short, I really started a bad decline this past April. Zithro was stopped due to complete numbness in both arms for 3 weeks and since then i have been trying to get candida under control (thinking that may be the cause of my symptoms as i had neglected my yeast free diet after feeling well again). I am presently seeing a DO who is doing a whole work up on me (vit/mineral deficiences, hormones, allergies, glucose, etc) but really feel it is still the lyme and not sure which way to go for treatment after doing antibiotics on/off for past 10 years. My lyme doc is now away for the next few months and i am basically home bound and stressed about each day feeling worse. Has anyone had any luck with natural therapies or do i need to start up a different antibiotic again? Is there a best antibiotic out there to take now. I never tried doxy/or minocycline but just about every other one.

Ugh this is really tough as i have not been able to work and am dependent on my elderly parents who now have to drive me around again to appts. They have been through too much with this already 10 years (and my divorce). I am not sure I can handle going through this again and feel really alone. Aside from the financial factor after 10 years of doctors and treatment. This is like a nightmare all over again. Sorry to make this so long just hoping to figure out the right thing to do.

I am sorry to hear you have had a relapse.

Were you treated for the Babesia? Babs can be hard to get rid of and sometimes people need to be re-treated.

Good luck to you and God Bless.

Worked for me.

Also Artimisin. That is a chinese herb.

Do a search on this site for past posts about these treatments. Many many people here are using or have used these.

Sorry about the relapse, but good news is that you HAD remission so that means you can get back there again. Many have, you will too.

Deja vu was my horse's name years ago. We called him DJ for short.

To find a Lyme Literate Medical Doctor, go to the Seeking a doctor forum on here. You will need to post you email address if it isn't already in your setup. There are people who have compiled databases of doctors around the country (and probably even the world) who will respond to you by email with doctors' names.

Also, you've been through this before but it never hurts to brush up on the latest knowledge. Find the link for new members (it should be on the first or second page) and see all the info that treepatrol has put together there. There are a whole bunch of natural support info links there too.

Best of Luck,

Thank you
