Thought you might be interested in this startling information about fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Levaquin, Cipro, Floxin and Tequin.

I'm not an MD. The above is IMO and in my experience as well as from health related books.

I've had symptoms consistent with neurological Lyme disease since 1986. Was diagnosed with Lyme in 2004. Am feeling better now than ever before.

Yes, very good info...

my llmd had wanted me to take cipro over a year ago, but I didn't want to take an abx till after I went on the Marshall Protocol...

but after a year of supplements and good nutrition and rethinking the MP (not good for people with adrenal compromise - most lymies??), I am hoping that good nutrition/supplements and getting my hormones in balance will keep me from having to take abx ever again.

BTW my only symptom now is slight fatigue, unless I get run down and then some of the original symptoms return...

then a few weeks of a restful schedule and increase in Iodine and I am back to my normal slight fatigue.

Sometimes I think I am back to my pre-Lyme normal and forget I have a bug that grows when I stress my body too much...then bam! I am in bed a lot and doing very little. This reinforces my family's belief that it is all in my head, that I am trying to get attention and feeling sorry for myself!

I think I'm finally learning how to live with this disease and be able to play the game of "Karla/Mom doesn't have a disease" so I can have a relationship with my children and grandchildren.

My LLMD just gave me a script for Factive to be taken everyday and I see it is on the list! I took it 5 days last month and it seemed to help on the 4th day.

I don't think my ins is ever going to go for it anyway, it's very expensive and suppossed to be only a 5 day thing. My LLMD said they do have ppl it is helping though.
