As for most other things, such as how to treat and for what long we mostly disagree. Every patient is different and every patient responds differently to treatment. You are not going to find easy answers on the internet. Your best bet is talking to your doctor.Lyme report: Montgomery County, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035327980787631502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694894153899281485.post-2601694067139055312013-07-05T06:06:35.731-07:002013-07-05T06:06:35.731-07:00Hi Doc,

She treated briefly and then saw Dr. J in Conn.<br /><br />After about 10 months had to stop antibiotics as it seemed they were causing issues.<br /><br />Some say it was herxing, but she only felt somewhat better after the 10 months of treatment.<br /><br />I know and the Dr. knew she needed further treatment, we decided to go with herbs, but then she stopped the herbs.<br /><br />So now she is a teenager and back on Lyme treatment slowly building dose of IV Rocephin. We are being cautious as she is very sens to many meds, etc. This the first time on IV meds.<br /><br />She says she feels worse. 4 weeks of 500mg, now she is almost two weeks into 1Gram. Working up to 2Grams and I am sure Dr. will be adding in a cyst buster and other antibotics at some point.<br /><br />What were your patient experiences on IV rocephin? I read online that some feel worse and did not notice any improvement until three months.janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051790964747596671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694894153899281485.post-8992598574849744102013-07-03T19:56:42.594-07:002013-07-03T19:56:42.594-07:00Artemesia or artemisinin have been helpful.

My recollections are that it is: hard to get, expensive and generally unhelpful. The addition of artemsisinin to pharmaceutical regimens doesn't add anything so I no longer recommend it. But -- by itself artemesinin is a powerful agent.Lyme report: Montgomery County, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11035327980787631502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694894153899281485.post-51552294856882005402013-07-03T09:09:55.272-07:002013-07-03T09:09:55.272-07:00what do you think about the use of cryptolepis for...what do you think about the use of cryptolepis for Babesia?<br /><br />I can find one clinical study for its use in malaria, but not sure that transfers to babesia........<br />tiggerkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05530133326029472381noreply@blogger.com
