Last week I finished pulse no 2 and I jotted down a few points: 23/02/14 – 25/02/14 – 3 day pulse Day 1 - Right hand fingers buzzing and a bit of a dull ache again - Very cold feeling on my left foot - Traps sharp pain (similar to after training pain, just I haven’t trained) Day 2 - Noticed I needed...

Glad to hear you can tolerate heat a lot better :) Just want to make a note on here about some improvements I have noticed, so that when I look back I have a record... Yesterday I managed to do something I haven't been able to do since Sept. You know when you wash your hair and you bend and flick ha...

Thanks for your quick reply! I will take your advice and wait the correct time

Can you tolerate the heat a bit better now? I guess I am eager to maybe start enjoying summers again! I used to love summer and now I dread it. Hopefully things will change in the future!

Just a quick question for those of you who have already completed the protocol...I have done pulse no 1 so far and felt fine...can I do no 2 b4 the 4 weeks if I feel up to it? I just want to get as many pulses under my belt as possible b4 summer. Summer in Gibraltar is very hot and I normally don't ...

Sorry for the delay in replying! I had no internet access in the hotel I was staying at in the UK! Mackintosh thats really good to know that it was the abx that have worked for you and not any diet. I have decided to try to stick to a gluten free diet, because I have found out that I am intolerant t...

Hi Roy! I just wrote a really long post and then proceeded to loose it all!! I am so annoyed, this time I will just write a quick post lol! Don't have the energy to spend another hour writing! How do you feel this is all going for you? Are those the only side effects this is causing you? I had start...

Hi all, just a short post cos its late! I haven't been updating anyone, but its all going well :) I have just done my 1st pulse and even though I was very nervous about it, it has been fine. The only thing I have noticed is extra tiredness and for some reason I have noticed a dull pain in my right h...

Hi all, been taking the abx with food and I'm not feeling sick anymore,so thanks for the advice. All I meant with the 3 abx is the ones that I have been prescribed, you are right that there are alternatives, just those are the ones I'm using :) Hi Emma, I found it very difficult at first finding a d...

Thanks guys, am going to try taking it now with food see how I feel

Hi MacKintosh, I've just seen your post now! Thanks for all the advice :) It does all take some getting used to doesn't it! Quick question, does anyone else feel sick after taking Doxy? I take it in the morning with plenty of water, which is how I was told, but now that I've upped it to 200mg it is ...

Ok, thanks again

I have started on the N-acetyl cysteine, will build it up slowly as you suggest. After 2/3weeks I will start the first of the abx.

I will become a member of the Cpn forum also for any other abx specific queries I have.

Wish me luck

Oh was also wondering if there is any blood test I should do to check whether I have Cpn or would you say to just start the abx?

Hi Anecdote, thank you so much for replying! Gib is actually British and therefore follows the UK in everything...is there a problem getting hold of roxithromycin? Is the N-cetyl cysteine easily found in health shops? I have not heard of it before. I will go to town tomorrow to search for it so that...

Hi all, I have just become a member of the forum after constant reading for the past week :) A brief history, I am going to be 32 on Wed, I was diagnosed with MS when I was 24.
