so my dizziness garbage came back after over a year while dealing with a haemophilus influenzae infection that still is a bear to clear out from my system..
anyway, doc thinks i have lyme as well as i've posted about before from western blot, tons of food allergies, can't heal leaky gut, etc...
but also was told i had VN (vestibular neuritis) which started all this 3 years ago and is basically damage to inner ear/balance system..
so. i got on biaxin for lyme and noticed the dizziness or whatever it was got increasingly better over the 3 weeks i was on baixin until i felt normal..
but ive heard biaxin has anti inflammatory properties..
so if this is true, and one has inner ear problems is the biaxin helping the dizziness go away in that way?
or do you think its more probable that the biaxin is working at either the haemophilus or lyme? which is helping the dizziness?
anyone know about this and how biaxin works? or has anyone had dizzy problems get better on biaxin?
also, can biaxin go after co-infections as well?
thanks a bunch scott

You can read everything Dr. Burrascano says about using Biaxin for lyme and coinfections by going to his lyme treatment guidelines on-line and using the "search" function to find the word "clarithromycin" which is the generic name of Biaxin.
"Because of these dismal statistics, the current regimen of choice for Babesiosis is the combination of atovaquone (Mepron, Malarone), 750 mg bid, plus an erythromycin-type drug, such as azithromycin (Zithromax), clarithromycin (Biaxin), or telithromycin (Ketek) in standard doses." (p.24)
Most people with lyme disease also have babesiosis. Dizziness can be a babesiosis symptom.
"Babesia infection is becoming more commonly recognized, especially in patients who already have Lyme Disease. It has been published that as many as 66% of Lyme patients show serologic evidence of co-infection with Babesia microti." (p. 23)
Read all of page 23 to learn more about babesiosis symptoms and treatment.
