Wow, that is a long list.
Question: Did you go on the antifungals because of symptoms...or is that just that Dr's standard lyme and co treatment?

My list - haven't seen anyone LL yet, so it's got lots of holes, I'm sure.

Lyme and co -
Doxycycline - 200 mg x2
Zithromax - 250 mg X2

biofilm -
serrapeptase

anti-fungal/anti-viral - nothing

endocrine -
biodentical progesterone cream
vitamin D - 2000 iu daily
adrenal support - cordyceps/rhodiola/eleutheros

GI-
probiotics 2X daily

pain/cykotines/sleep
curcumin - 4 tabs daily
L-theanine

detox -
vitamin C - 2000-5000 daily
milk thistle - x2 daily
6-8 glasses water - some with org lemon

others -
CoQ10, Cal/mag, extra mag glycinate, fish oil (omega 3), b complex, extra sublingula methyl B12,

may have forgotten some - I was also taking Jap knotweed and cat's claw...but when I got to full dose doxy I herxed for 12 days straight...so have temporarily discontinued them...may try and add them back in sometime.

Thanks both of you—this is more interesting than I had anticipated. Hope others chime in, too.

I should also add to my list that 6 mos ago I started the severe diet restrictions (no sugar, simple carbs, dairy, grains, caffeine). And was able to start exercise (riding my bike—it still remains difficult/painful for me to walk but I could ride my bike for days on end…)

Girlie—
I had started myself on antifungals before I even questioned the possibility of having lyme & co. infections. I'd had sinus infections on/off for about 13 yrs but it got really bad in 2013 and I had been battling chronic sinusitis and intermittent bronchitis & flu for about 13 mos. and was in/out of ER during that time. I was put on various types and doses of abx & steroids over this period as well, which started stirring up the lyme & co infection and I started getting strange MS and neurological symptoms. Only then, after searching these symptoms along w/ the sinusitis did I dx myself with lyme. So, according to most of the info I found on google, sinusitis was commonly associated w/ lyme & co.

I then made an appt w/ an LLMD but couldn't get in for about 6 mos. During this time I dug deeper into the lyme research and I started to become convinced that the sinusitis/bronchitis was fungal. I never fully understood whether the lyme & co. influenced more susceptibility to a fungal overgrowth or it was an outcome of other systems breaking down due to the lyme & co. My GI/immune system was compromised probably 5 yrs ago so that's why the sinusitis/bronchitis/flu/3-4 viruses took over and then got socked again with all the steroids. And it's not a stretch to understand why the fungal infection got out of control with all the antibiotics and no supplementation w/ probiotics.

I decided I wasn't going to wait until my Dr appt to get an Rx and bought the diflucan and nystatin overseas. I had been taking GSE, coconut oil and a few other things but they were not impacting the fungal problem at all. I started to get pretty scared, reading that a sinus infection, if left untreated or unresolved, can dangerously infect the brain, teeth roots, etc.

After meeting with the LLMD, she has mentioned yeast/fungal overgrowth is common in her patients. Maybe not as severely as I had it.
