Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 I just was on Amoxicillin and then on Leveguin (spelling) for a severe ear ache.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Amoxil is sometimes used. But it's not very strong and 30 days will more than likely leave him with a worse case of Lymes in a few months after you stop treatment. Unless you found the tick that gave it to him and pulled it off the day you started treatment. Otherwise, a 30 day treatment is the old CDC standard treatment and for those of us with chronic Lymes, we all know that doesn't work. Sorry, just a heads up... Good luck and if your son's symptoms return think about taking him to a Lyme Specialist (LLMD) means Lyme Literate Medical Doctor. There are websites that can help you find a doctor in your area. Here is probly the main one... you have to sign up to get a list but they will give you the closest one's they have but they may not be the only one's that treat it properly. Ask your doctor if they treat by the ILADS guidelines? website below... http://www.lymediseaseassociation.org/ http://www.ilads.org/files/ILADS_Guidelines.pdf Suzanne On May 4, 2010, at 4:40 PM, le Handy wrote: > i know this may seem like a silly question but your son is seeing an > llmd? > > > On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 6:29 AM, katherinesk8 <ksandum@...> > wrote: > >> >> >> Hello - We are new here...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi All, I'm back. I cannot believe I am posting on this site again, but that means my second son has Lyme again. Four out of five of us have had it, one chronic, but looks like Cole has it again .... Was diagnosed with Osgood Slatter's last fall, and just thought the joint pain during lacrosse was associated with that. Pain started traveling to ankles and general achiness and got him tested. Only 41 and 66 are positive, so we have a test off to Igenex, but have begun to treat with 200 mg of doxi. Due to sun and my desire to hit this hard, want to switch to plaquenil and durex (dorex?) a derivative of doxi. I don't have appointment with Dr. J until August, but will ask for a cancellation. I'm just sounding off. I can't believe we are dealing with this again!!! I so want to move out of tick country. Cole's issue is different because with the rest of us, I knew when we'd been bitten and could follow the timelines. And because Tucker had been undertreated (three weeks) when initially diagnosed, I also knew to hit hard with three months of antibiotics for the rest of us. But with Cole, don't know if this is new infection or him becoming symptomatic again. I'm sure Dr. J will help determine that .... but still ..... arghhhhhhhhhhh! And can you believe I just ran an educational forum for our district on how to prevent yourself from getting Lyme disease (personal protection, habitat management). Despite high tick control, we still get it. I hate this disease. Please accept my apologies for ranting. It's really all I need to do. Blow off some steam to people who get it. And with that, I bid you adieu. Hugs, (and Tucker, Cole, Haeden) Re: [ ] Amoxicillin Amoxil is sometimes used.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 My daughter had the same diagnosis for almost a year, Osgood Slaughter. As the aches spread from her knees to other joints, we went from doctor to doctor looking for an explanation. After a year, we finally got a positive Lyme test from Igenex. We were never aware of any tick bite or rash. Good luck with treatment. We all understand your frustration. It has been tough on our family just dealing with a single Lyme patient, I can't imagine dealing with four.
