Though I suspect this may take a long time normally to happen.

Well, ya know Marnie,
A long time ago my Rheumatologist said he kept me on the doxi because I told him it was
seemingly helping my then diagnosed "Osteoarthritis"!
Also, whenever I did Flagyl back in the early 2000 years it always managed to bring my
inflammation and pain levels way down...to the disgruntled...
"Gee, that's interesting but impossible", comments.
I got from ducks down here at the Florida, Bay Pines ducks!
At least the Reumey duck up in Lutheran Hospital admitted at least "some" connection!
gee... and things that make ya wanna say ,,,,HMMMMMM!?

PS...I know it's not prudent...however I believe that all the arthritis is linked to bacterial/viral/retroviral etc...
diseases we get from our friendly neighborhood "arachnid" the tick!
but hey....I'm just a, "paranoid" patient!

Some called Lyme "Lyme Arthritis" in the beginning...in Montauk, Native Americans had what was called "Montauk Knee"... a swollen. arthritic result of being bitten by a tick.
Many Lyme patients have arthritic presentation, there should be no argument here...it is what it is.
Check out www.arthritistrust.com the Dr. uses Metronidazole and other dazoles to treat arthritis...way before his time!
Peace, Love and Wellness, JRW
