My previous post questioned co-infections, what abx is everyone taking for co-infections so I can bring this information with me to my LLMD. Right now on plaquenil and biaxin only.

Co-infected with mycoplasma fermentans. Been on:

Levaquin
Cipro
Factive
Ketek

After repeated courses of those I'm stable on 200 mg/d of Doryx, which is major progress.

What do I ask/say to Dr. D, "am I or should I be treated for coinfections with these meds"? Wonder why he's not treating me for coinfections since he knows how sick I've been for so long. He's just calling it "chronic lyme disease" and saying it's just going to take a long time to recover.

Hi Mamma,

Can you get a new dr?

I keep reading that they are learning that most lyme is a mixed infection. (co-infections)

My kids and I are being treated for Bart. I figured out we had it after a yr of lyme treatment. I saw these pictures of Bart rash and my daughter has them. It got missed and we see one of the best.

Anyway, daughter is taking zith.
Son zith and septra, me septra and levaquin.

The zith and septra should be easy to get rx for, I would think.
