Topic: Flagyl and muscle spasms?

Hey all,

Quick question and then a little about me:

In addition to IV rocephin (14 weeks) and IV zithromax (12 weeks) and now IV cleocin instead of the zith (2 weeks), I pulse oral flagyl every 3 weeks. I have been plagued with all over muscle spasms that are pretty consistent since my diagnosis, but after having been on these drugs long enough, I've been able to see the pattern that while on Flagyl (5 days), my spasms disappear, and as soon as I finish my pulse cycle, they are back with a vengence...any ideas?

ABOUT ME:
This is the second time that I have posted on LymeNet. The first time was to find a Lyme literate doctor in Atlanta. Since then, I have come on this site more times than I can count to find advice, seek comfort in familiarity, and to be informed and encouraged. All this while simply reading posts. The first thing that I wanted to say was thank you to all those who find the energy and strength to continually fight this disease and encourage others in their journey.

I am a 27 year old female born and raised in Rhode Island, now living in Georgia. I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in March of this year. Unlike others, I think that I contracted it only 8 months prior (as oppossed to years and years). My story is so similar to so many that the details of the past (unsupported by my employer, had to resign, "there's no lyme disease in Georgia", diagnosed with sinusitis, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, depression, anxiety, acid reflux, allergies, etc.) seem less important than the present. I am still fighting and still have hope. Moreover, I hope I will find the energy to continue to post more often as I want to offer to others what so many have given me, voices that need to be heard.

So thanks much.
