Bicillin Injections

[Guest guest]

I'm looking for people who have had experience with Bicillin shots. I was

told that Bicillin penetrates the blood/brain barrier and the nervous

system. I'm due to stop Doxycycline and start weekly Bicillin shots, which

might increase to twice weekly, depending on how I respond. (This is for

memory problems and tremors in my hands and sometimes my face.)

My doctor also wanted to put me on Flagyl, but I didn't want to start it

yet, because I took it once for giardia (sp?) and got so sick that I

couldn't function at all. All the doctors said there was nothing wrong with

me, despite all my symptoms. And yes, they thought it was " all in my head. "

My doctor thinks the severe illness I had afterwards was a herx (my first

herx, before I knew I had Lyme).

Thanks for any experience/information you have to share.

I had a three month course of Bicillin injections because the Lyme is

into my cardiac muscle. I had no significant problems with the

injections, but had to stop Bicillin because it was irritating my gall

bladder. After multiple courses of hi-octane antibiotics, I had to

have my gall bladder removed-tests revealed it was loaded with Lyme. I

am now recovering from the surgery. When I was treated for neuro lyme,

I did not receive Bicillin-my LLMD put me on Malarone (an anti-

malarial drug). The course of treatment was horrible with herxes that

included hallucinations (visual, auditory, and tactile), severe

insomnia, extreme paranoia, panic attacks, worsening brain fog, and

massive irritability. However, the treatment worked, and my brain is

now back to functioning.

Take the shots! My husband and I have been giving them to each other on and off

for years. Your Dr. is correct, you should take it along with another

antibiotic in pill form. If you're uncomfortable with the one he suggested, let

him know. There are many choices. My husband takes zithromax and I currently

take spectraceff. The only thing I would caution you on is not to take the shot

in the same spot each time. Try to find as many new locations as you can so you

don't run into a problem with your body having trouble absorbing the medication.

You'll know this is happening if you feel a lump (like a golf ball) at the

injection site, after receiving your shot. If this happens you can try taking

the shots in your thigh, if you've been taking them in the behind, but only

under the instruction of your Dr. or you'll have to give your body a break for a

few weeks and try again. Your Dr. may be able to show you some tricks as well,

such as transfering the medication to a smaller needle, etc... Anyway, I do

think Bicillin is a very wise choice. Penni

-Just out of curiousity, how did you test your gall bladder for Lyme?

I think this could be a great source of my problems.

Thanks,
