HI THERE...

FISH OIL, COQ10, MULTI-VIT. PRO-BIOTICS, AGIMMUNE, MILK THISTLE, CALCIUM W/ MAGNESIUM, AND BROMELAIN (SP?)
AND MEDICATIONS INCLUDING:
OXYCONTIN & NORTRYPTOLINE.
ALSO HAVE CUT OUT ALL SUGAR AND WHEAT, AND AM FOLLOWING A LOW-CARB/HIGH-PROTIEN DIET.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES OR PROVIDE ANY WORDS OF WISDOM YOU MAY HAVE.
WE'VE GOTTEN APPROVAL FOR THE FIRST 4 WKS, AND WHO KNOWS AFTER THAT??????
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!
TWO BOYS ...WAITING FOR THEIR MOMMY TO COME BACK.

Please don't write in all caps...it's really hard to read. It's also internet speak for yelling...

I'm not sure about your antibiotics, I have a different one but your nutritional supplements sound like a good regiment.

Hope others with more knowledge will have some input for you.

Looks like you just about covered everything.

Hope you go longer than 4 weeks on Rocephin.

Two years ago I was also placed on it for 4 weeks, did a lot of good.

Lyme came back this past summer. Waiting to start on 8 week stint and then 6-12 months of oral.

Thanks for your response!
My dr. wrote 4-8 weeks on the note, but the nursing co. got approval for the first 4, claiming this is the protocal. Then, and I'm wondering when, she'll request the next 4 wks. Do you know anything about this?? I'm sorry to hear of your Lyme's return. I hope you have quick results when your treatment begins.
Are you familiar with long-lasting dizziness as herxing?? Is this vertigo??
take care!
