Curious what people do with this one. I have 500mg pills and I'm debating whether to take 500mg 2x daily or whether to take larger doses pulsed. I know you can take up to 2g I think for some parasitic illnesses. Just curious what has worked well for people

I’ve taken 500 mg twice daily for two days a week.


Couldn’t tell ya if it worked -

Aww don't tell me that Girlie! Anything but that. I want to hear that you herxed really hard and came out the other side 90% better smile This is my last hope at the moment lol. Otherwise I'm back to square one. I mean I'm doing freaking great while I'm treating, but tired of relapsing.

Have you done persister treatment ? (Sorry can’t remember)

Or pulsed your abx so your immune system starts taking over rather than just stopping after taking them daily?

ie go to a m/w/f two weeks on and two off for several months - see how you do... at least you’re not taking abx daily.

If you don’t relapse on that schedule - then go to three days a month

Nah, no persister treatment specifically. Tonight was my first dose of tinidazole. I've "pulsed" but not in any methodical way. Just stopping treatment randomly to give myself a break and then picking it back up again. I typically relapse within 24 hours. Last time It took 7 days so it smells like progress but we'll see.

A quick relapse is indication of a co-infection. Lyme has a longer 28 day reproduction cycle. But we are all still learning.

I took 500mg twice a day last Fri,Sat. It's the only thing that lessened my air hunger that has been constant since last November. I just can't decide if I had a reaction to it or it's just hand,mouth and foot that I caught. The air hunger is slowly creeping back.
