Sick of Antibiotics Blues

I am feeling so sick of antibiotics, I just have to tell you. Feeling miserable and sorry for myself today - even thought the Claforan has helped so much I can feel how ravaged my body is from all of this. It is so hard to know when enough is enough....

pcpc, I am painfully aware of how you feel. I too have felt down, defeated and toxic from antibiotics and have tried to go off with no success, having to return back to them after a few weeks to alleviate my symptoms. I pray the herbs I am taking work well enough soon so I can only be on them but for now I must keep on the antibiotics or I will not be able to function--they have worked that well for me--too bad it doesn't last once I go off.

Try to think positive and think of antibiotics as your friends and helpers rather than something that is not good for you--that will go along way in healing your mind and body. Someday soon.... I hope... your immune system will be able to keep the bacteria at bay on its own perhaps with the help of other things than antibiotics. For now be thankful that they are helping at all as it seems they are... aiding your body to heal and you are feeling somewhat better--it is wonderful you can work at all. I am certain this is because of your own diligence and determination in finding the best treatment for You. Be strong....as I believe you are from what I read- there is a message in all of this somewhere. You are probably aware of this but I will remind you anyway---that maybe your illnesses, experiements with meds and healings are being used to help those that come to you for help. After all we have been through-We Can Be Wounded Healers. That is a gift that Lyme has given us. All things work together for the good even when we cannot see it. Keep venting it is good. Blessings

Here's an addition --

I remember the days I walked with no pain

whether in sunshine or whether in rain.

But these are the days when deer I disdain

and spend many hours counting pills that remain.

I'm so tired of checking for ticks
and all the living with Chronic Lyme tricks
But I thank God for my LLMD
and all the good things that she's done for me

Hi pcpc and everyone else,

Yes, I understand what you are feeling as I was on Doxy and only felt worse.  What helped me was reading Dr. Jernigan's book called "Beating Lyme Disease" and then following his "healing at home" protocol.  I have been in remission for almost 4 years now from that protocol.  I owe my life to that book.

I think you would appreciate reading this book as much of what you have posted about is all there, Yin and Yang, etc.   Are you detoxing at all?

Hope you feel better,

Denise
