Each time I change an antibiotic or to a combo of antibiotics, they seem to work well at relieving sysmptoms for about 6 weeks, then some of the symptoms come back.
The biggest problem I have is with my eyes; the flickering or fluttering vision that I have always seems to almost go away and then slowly comes back.
Have any of you had these experiences with your antibiotics?

Joe,
It is common to have to switch abx around.
That flickering and fluttering, though . . . what has helped me the most with that has been magnesium but also andrographis.
Are you on any supplements right now? I suggest first being sure your magnesium is at the top range and that your fish oil is also a the top of what your LLMD suggested.
If that is all in place, you might explore supplementing with andrographis. That has helped calm down the over excited neuro stuff that contributes to the eye flicker.
In addition, eye exercises and eye rest in "Yoga for the Eyes" helps. You can find that at Amazon and some clips at You Tube.

More about the supplements I mentioned can be found here:
This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, holds great information about treatments options and support measures:

Thanks Keebler, How much andrographis do you take? I follow Dr. Singleton's guidelines because I had to treat myself until recently. Dr. Singleton's book only said to start Andrographis slowly but I never knew the dosing.
