Hi to all. Haven't been in here for years.Not since my daughter had Lyme. Well now I have acute Lyme and not happy. Tried to deny it for long time but have finally gotten to sick to deny.WB came back fast showing acute Lyme. I'm so stupid. My question is how well does Ceftin work. Taking 500mg 2x/day. Been on it for about 3 wks now. Feel no differnt. Some of my symtoms include headaches, severe lower body joint pain, my feet hurt so bad can only walk short distance, floaters, vertigo and a trillion other problems. Oh and bad brain farts. Any feed back would be great. Everyone around me has Lyme including my dogs and horse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 10 | From: newtown,CT | Registered: Oct 2002 | IP: Logged

Welcome back astro... in a sad sort of way I'm afraid.
Sounds like you have cornered the market on tick borne diseases there at your place- how awful!
I am concerned after reading your symptom list that you may have more than Lyme going on there.
Bartonella is one tick borne coinfection that comes to mind. Have you been tested for it?
If you check out Treepatrol's link stuck to the top area of the Medical Section... it can give you some much needed updates.
In the meantime... others will be around to share information too.
I hope you get the good updates and are feeling better soon!

I was thinking co-infections too.
The first five weeks on doxy after diagnosis were pure heck.
Felt so sick. Nothing like herxing for a month!
Hang in there.
Hugs,
