I just had my 6 month appointment with my LLMD and he has modified an antibiotic and changed some supplements. I am feeling like this is such a long hard marathon to get well. Every day is a fight!
Here is my new protocol:

Plus I am on a pain medication.
I am only sharing what I am trying but I believe everyone has to try whatever is the best plan for them at the time. I have had several people question my use of antibiotics but I feel this is the best plan for me considering my symptoms. I know there is no miracle cure that fits everyone and that is what is so frustrating about this disease. I personal know several people who have gotten well by using IV antibiotics so this is my chosen course of treatment. I am trying to remain hopeful that this will work for me!
Be well!

I totally agree – people need to do the protocol that is best for them. I read all the things you are on, and I felt like I was reading the med lists in our house. I recognize many things on your list.
Are you doing any diet modifications? We have had to do some, and it has helped us, too.

I do the ketogenic diet. I have not noticed that this has helped me feel better.

I will have to read about that diet. I am sorry it is not helping.

Unfortunately, treatment is a marathon! But I wish someone had directly said that to me at the beginning because I kept expecting every pill/treatment change to be the magic cure…. much like you, though, it took many tweaks and MANY different pills/IV’s/supplements to start getting better. You are doing great, just keep fighting and know you are not alone. As much as I hated being on abx for so long, I know I needed it to do some serious damage at first so I could move on to more holistic and natural approaches. Here for you ❤
