Hi I am a new member. After a couple of very weird months and too many doctors

and ER visits my 12 year old was diagnosed with Lyme in February. He also shows

exposure to 4 coinfections.

He was initially put on Bactrim and was taking that for 3 weeks when we went to

C.T. for a second opinion. The C.T. Dr. put him on zythromax, minicyclin and

mepron. By the 5th day he was in so much pain he was writhing and his shortness

of breath was worsening and he could no longer walk. Our C.T. Dr. told us to go

to the E.R. to be evaluated for ascending neuropathy. He was admitted for 3 days

and they did more tests and decided they didn't know what as wrong but it wasn't

Lyme. After he returned home our C.T. Dr. told us to resume his meds. We

couldn't. It was too scary and the Dr.s at the hospital were not fans of our

C.T. Dr. besides we weren't able to see our C.T. Dr. again for months. We

decided to pursue another Dr. this one will see us on a more regular basis and

is starting my son off more slowly. After 10 days we are back up to 2 zythro a

day but my son is still suffering terribly. I am desperate to know when can we

excpect to see him turn a

corner and to start improving? Any words of hope and encouragement or advice

would be most appreciated!

Thank you!!
