I eventually, some 7 days after the blood was drawn, got my liver function tests back. Thankfully they were all fine so I immediately resumed doxicycline and roxithromycin and then managed 5 days on metronidazole and 400mg of plaquenil daily. I've added the plaquenil to my metronidazole pulse as this may also be effective in killing off spirochetes/chlamydia/mycoplasma. This is slightly clutching at straws since I've done a good, long 2.75 years on the combination of doxicycline, roxithromycin and metronidazole and have seen no sustained improvements and recently have developed new deficits affecting my left leg and right hand. These have improved somewhat but the disease has definitely spread since starting the antibiotics.
I've also started taking a fibrinolytic, lumbrokinase, which is essentially a blood-thinning enzyme. Excessive fibrin is to be found in MS lesions so I thought I might try an experiment with this stuff for a month or so.
