I have never been on anything but orals. This combination of drugs

Hi Jean!

What a great, upbeat post! I too am hoping that the combo is doing the trick

for you!

Now I really can't wait to talk to my doctor about combining abx next week!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Take care and Be Well!

This is terrific news, I love to hear success stories. I know what you

mean about not knowing if we are having bad flares or if they are really

herxes. I really like your theory that your three week long siege being a

herx and lots of spirochetes met their maker. It makes sense to me, and I

am praying that symptoms stay away for a long, long time. Please keep us

posted, and keep thinking positive thoughts.

Hugs,

Oh that is such wonderful news. I know I'm responding late but I'm on

the road right now. One day, any day, pain free is a miracle for all of us. I

hope you continue to improve and my wish for you is to one day be totally

free from the grip of Lyme Disease.

May you continue to see and feel wonderful days.
