Hi docdave, Your approach makes total sense to me. I was overloaded with abx's my first 6 month of treatment, and had the candida to begin with.
I believe the yeast is what needs to be addressed.
Thank you for all the info, enjoy and take your comments and suggestions to heart.
I wish I could go with your approach, but 1 Doxy turns my mouth and tongue whitewash white. Maybe my doc will agree to start with the yeast issues first.
I did have a cladosporium species cultured from my sputum. Hope the Vfend will attack that.
I wrote on another post an Inf Disease duck at the Cleveland Clinic told me he doesn't know what to make of the Cladosporium!!!! Go figure ??
I am taking Difulcan on my own 100mgs a day that I had left over, till I see the doc on Monday.
How much Vfend were you on ? I see they are 50mg and 200mg tablets .
Thankxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Sherri

Do you know whether Lyme is in saliva? Has it been seen there through darkfield microscopy? Could Lyme be passed to others through saliva on dishes?

i would say no, not impossible but no. first there are too little bacteria in the whole body, that why many pcrs are negative. second you would need an open sore in your mouth to get it from saliva.
they claim you can't get AIDS from saliva which is a much more potent virus.
the only case of a dentist giving AIDS to a patient ,the one that changed everything, was given to the patient on purpose. the dentist was crazy and for some reason, i don't know he gave it to a girl.he actually dropped blood in her mouth after creating a cut.
dishwashers should kill bb, it kills aids, so just wash your dishes, if you are worried.
kissing may be a little more probable, and sex may be even more probable. but the risk is still probably very very low.

ps: tmj may be caused by lyme ,but there are so many other causes that lyme is low on the list might want to try a niteguard. the niteguard need to be made so that the lower front teeth come foward and release pressure. the lower teeth should come to the upper front teeth and 3-5 mm space opening. this releases stress on all the muscles of mastication. stress or trauma are the main causes of tmj. teeth out of alignment or braces where they took out 4 bicuspids is also a reason.

Teeth out of alignment because of bicuspid removal and braces done without regard to the bite was the cause. This pre-exists Lyme for me.
I have had 2 lower apppliances (I think the last a gelb) over the past 30+ years. I did go to the new DMD for evaluation and had a new splint made.
I think it's terribly wrong. They made an upper which doesn't support my lower jaw or relax any of the muscles. I'm 10 times worse. I am completely miserable with vicious headaches. (ear ringing, blurred vision, massive pressure, nausea...)
I'll call them on Monday and see what can be done. This is way past a level of pain I can deal with.
The bones in my face feel like they're going to blow off and all the muscles in my head, neck and shoulders are in complete spasm (and on fire).
