i quit going to my llmd, various reasons which right know, i don't have time to discuss, becuse my dad is very sick and i and going back over to see him. but i was wondering, i went to my regular doctor the other day and he is now going to take over treating my lyme , at least until i figure out what else to do,

but anyway, he wants my to see an infectious disease doc, but he told me that, (by the way, i've been on abx for almost 4 yrs, finally bicillan la 2 shots a week along with the help here and there with other abx have put me on the right track better after taking the bicillan la which has been about 1 yr, started off with one shot than about six months later uped to 2 etc.

now regular doc said its not good to be and abx for so long, and i said but i still have alot of symtoms , some just calmed down some changed etc, the doc said that i could still have symtoms but the infection counl be gone becasue it could be perment damage, and i will always need pain management...etc like he used my arthrisis(?) for example he said the lyme gave you that and you will always have it now.

havs anyone aver heard of these, i'm scared to go off the bicillan la, but i havent seen the inf, disease doc yet so don't know what he will say.
any thought s will be helpful.

people just don't realize if they have their health they have everything
