Hi Everyone!

I used to be a regular poster..... but then I started feeling better. going to college, working and living.

All along I've been going to my LLMD and taking rx but doing better and better.

I took about 2 months where I didn't take antibiotics and just cleansed and dieted. Lost weight felt fine.

Went back on meds when symptoms started to creap back into my life and have just been getting worse.

3 years I've been on all different types of antibiotics, mepron, malarone herbs vitamins probiotics. BLAH blah blah.

Should I go on iv????

If you can, you should. A mjor relapse like that usually means you need the big guns.

best of luck.

Maybe you should. Also, you might feel worse on antibiotics because the toxins are being killed and then when you're off of them, they are clearing out. Definately talk to your LLMD about this. Good luck! [Smile]

If you have the financial resources and the right IV protocol, then it might be a good idea to go that route.

But if you can't afford it and will be going deep into debt in order to get them, then I think that orals can bring you back to where you were before, if they are done right.

[hi] Hi Heatherkiss!!!

We were Mepron Buddies way back when!

So sorry to hear you're under the weather and feeling so bad again. Bummer.

If you can work out IV - I wouldn't hesitate.

Also, if the babs is back, you might consider going after that one again, too. (Yum, the yellow paint.)

Hang in there,
Cactus

Thanks everyone,

My husband wants me to go for it. He believes our insurance will pay. It's not likely.

Cactus you remembered me!!!! You are doing well then! [Smile]
