For all you fellow chronic Lymies that enjoy the benefit of Flagyll. Check out this drug. I'm on Tindamax (generic of above) and it's brought my back (spinal) pain down from about a 6-7 to a .5 or 1. It's an antiparasitic and a real blessing.

That's great it's working for you! I've never heard of it helping pain. I really got no help from it at all.
It should be killing the cyst form of the spirochetes, so you must be killing them off very well!

I have increased pain with tini. I assumed it was from opening the cysts and killing the spirochetes.
Glad you are in less pain.

I am on Tindamax, too. Take it with 50mg. of vit. B6; four days on and then four days off. Have had some old nags return on it...ribcage pain, ears ringing, muscle cramping, etc.
I think it is definitely helping me though. Sounds like it's working for you, too!
