Lyme and what to do now...

Received Igenex results a few weeks ago. Appear to be equivocal. Have tested positive for one double-starred band, and one non-starred band (58). My doctor has decided that we will continue to treat this as Lyme disease. I'm still on minocin and zithromax, and doc wanted to add in Flagyl (cyst buster).

Now, I had read that nerve damage is a rare side effect of taking Flagyl, and also that it may interact with Plaquenil. So... long story short - I've quit the Plaquenil.

While waiting for the plaquenil to clear out of my system (has a long half-life of about 1-2 months), I've decided to start the Byron White formulas. I purchased the A-L formula and the A-BART (bartonella). Will start the A-Bart formula first, try it for a few weeks to get a feel for it, then add the A-L.

Quick recap of current supplements/medications:

  • Minocycline, 200mg, every other day (started December 2011)
  • Zithromax, 250mg, every other day (on days not taking minocin), since May 2012
  • Banyan Botanicals ayurvedic herbs - Healthy Vata
  • Cymbalta, 60mg
  • Night: melatonin (small amount, less than .5mg), L-Glycine, GABA, L-Glutamine, Magnesium malate
    • Buffered Vitamin C (with rutin), Vitamin D3, Malic Acid, D-Ribose, Multivitamin, Calcium citrate, the list goes on...
