My LLND appt. - not sure if it's good or bad

So, had my half hour appt. today.

I told him my liver enzymes had raised a notch again...and I had stopped the antibiotics.

After he asked me about my symptoms, he told me he's not going to prescribe anything for bart right now. He thinks a break is a good idea - a month or two!!

He said that he feels that it's good for my liver, and if the symptoms get worse, then we hit them again. Let them come out of hiding...so to speak.

He doesn't even want me to take the bart tinctures...just support supplements...and Japanese Knotweed...

I asked him if I should call him if my symptoms come roaring back...and he said 'yes'.
He is also sending me a liver support supplement. and wants me to test my liver function in three weeks.

Groan....stalling my treatment does not make a happy camper...

That actually sounds like the safest thing to do right now with your rising liver enzymes, Girlie. Look at it as a vacation!! You won't be herxing!! Just detoxing and allowing the liver to regain it's 'footing' before you hit it again. There are actually quite a few LLMD's that believe in pulsing to do just this. You might find it to be just the thing for you.

I hope that you have an easy time and that you can take advantage of not being in treatment!! Don't look at it as stalling treatment, but as part of the treatment. You can't overload the body with toxins and a struggling liver and expect it to still heal....

Be sure to keep checking in here with us as we will want to know how you are doing and what's happening!!

Revive, do be sure to let us all know how it goes for you too!!

I did say to him that symptom wise I'm not even close to being healed yet and he said he knew that and also reassured me that he wasn't stopping my treatment - just taking a break. He said he wants to see if I feel a bit better doing this - that the drug toxicity might be a bit too much for my body right now and a break could do me good.

He also said if symptoms get worse in a few days - it would suggest bart but if it takes 3-4 weeks - then it's probably lyme worsening based on their cycles.

So - we will see what shakes out I guess.

Revive - after your break - how long after going back on did you feel an improvement?
