CPn Linked to Ear Infections
Kim doesn’t generally get ear infections. A few years before Kim started ABX, she had a serious ear pain that had her crying on the bathroom floor in the middle of the night. I ran out to the 24-hour pharmacy to get anything and everything that might help. I remembered this recently when I saw a note on a message board about a person with MS who was wondering about ...

Post subject: 7 days on doxy Posted: Sun Jan 17, 2010 10:58 am |

So finally I started CAP after a lot of research and reading, I am totally convinced this will work:-)
So far my body seems to be tolerating doxy quite well, no stomach issues...
I definitely got up with a flu three days ago (I actually spent my last two days sleeping like 20 hours a day, which was nice:-). Today I woke up with a little more energy and went for a long walk. However, ...

Partial positive on my Lyme test...but those are what also come up with positive EBV so my doctor is skeptical but willing to try me on Doxy.
Question 1: Is 100mg twice/day effective or should it be higher dose? (I am a 165 lb adult woman)
Question 2: How long before I get a Herx reaction (if its going to happen)?

I was told I have PPMS. I'm being tested for Lyme but if it comes back negitive, I'm going to try to get my doc to put me on antibiotics anyway. And if he won't I'll find a way to get the drugs myself online and just go to him for followups.
I'm not very good at sorting thru all the medical info so forgive me if you have to repeat something that is allready ...

Post subject: How to take doxycyclin Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2009 12:33 am |

Hello group :)
I started taking doxycyclin today (as a personal trial) and I would like to know if there is any 'better' way of digesting it...
I took it a bit after lunch and found almost everything thrown down the toilets... It made me pretty sick, but I acknowledge it might be normal to 'get use' of it  ...

I convinced my mom to give the ABX protocol a try.
She was diagnosed in 2001 with PPMS. On top of that she has Morbus Addison and Hashimoto-Thyreoiditis.
Her current EDSS is about 2.5 - 3.0, the progression was slow but continuous.
Most pronounced symptoms are significant fatigue and muscle weakness, some balance and gait issues including foot drop on the right side.
She started NAC (1200mg) on Nov 2nd, added 100mg Minocycline on Nov. ...

When i stopped i ...
