I got a call today from my pcp. A week ago she was firm she would not treat me for lyme but she finally agreed to review my test results and history with an LLMD I am trying to get into see. Well that consult apparently went so well my pcp was willing to start the treatment protocol recoed by LLMD until I can get in to see LLMD. What a pleasant and blessed turn around. My pcp was very impressed with the LLMD which made me feel even better about seeking out her care in my case.
Apparently the LLMD concluded based on IGeneix test (and maybe CD57, not sure since not mentioned) that even though 31 and 34 bands were IND those are specific for lyme and therefore included in clinical conclusion. Starting last night I am suppose to take 3000mg per day of Amoxycillin. I have to shove down 168 pills over the next 4 weeks and then access how feeling, if feeling better then continue another 2 weeks then reaccess.
I have mixed emotions, happy to finally have some confirmation from someone who treats lyme and scared about the longterm strong antibiotic use. Hoping for the best. Feeling at peace about moving forward with this treatment and feel for the first time in a long time God is in the midst of this nightmare and is really opening and closing the doors as needed for me to navigate the minefield.
Annyone else using high dose Amoxy for long period? What kind of reactions might I expect? I'm going to take really strong probiotic as I'm taking the abx. Any other suggestions to help make the process not so physically upsetting?
Wishing everyone answers and improved health!
