I did a search here and found little, & even less positive, about this abx.

I've been making really good progress with it. I Herx, but at a tolerable (most days) level. I have good days in between Herxes.

Anyway, I'm doing the best yet in my 9 months of treatment. I'm also on mino and zith, my dx is Lyme and Bart.

My LLMD tried other 3rd drugs (bactrim, plaq), but I'd always Herx so badly that I'd have to stop.

Just curious if others have had luck with this drug.

Thanks.

Wonko,

Do you pulsed Factive or take it daily?
How much do you take of it and
how long have you been on it?

Just curious as my LLMD mentioned this
abx to me but pulsed (as in 1 week on
and 2-3 weeks off)???

Stacyb,

I did a few cycles of one week on, one week off. I forget the pill size, but I think it's 320 mg.

Since my one week cycles worked so well, I'm now doing a 30 day pulse, today was day 7 of that.
