For some reason I've found very little information about what to expect. Needless to say I'm always nervous to start a new medication.

I'm already having a rough week. Hopefully being back on abx will actually make me feel better and not worse. That's a silly thought but a girl can dream right?!

I've been in a crappy mood so I'm anticipating a lot of whining in my near future. You've been warned lol!!

I'm sorry - I don't know anything about the IV antibiotics....was hoping someone would be able to offer some advice.

Good luck tomorrow! You will be fine...please post when you're up to it...let us know how you are.

good luck IHL! have you taken oral clarithromycin before?

It is exciting but scary to start a new med. I always hope it's going to work well, but if it works well it usually means it makes me herx like crazy which is the scary part.

Omg. That was horrible!!! The clindamycin makes you taste like your mouth is full of pennies. I broke out in the rash again. So they immediately gave me iv benadryl and now I'm stumbling around like a drunk person.

I have to give myself iv benadryl before every infusion now. I'm going to be asleep alot.

The nurse isn't very experienced so she struggled with my dressing change which didn't make me feel good at all. But she did it. Everyone has to start somewhere. I've just been through so much lately at this point little things like that make a big difference.

I'm not happy about this at all. I don't know if it's the drugs or what but I'm feel the Lyme rage really bad. I just feel... off. Something isn't right about all this. Maybe it's just me I don't know. Hopefully I'm just being crazy. I don't like feeling like something is wrong.

My doctor said he's really worried about me. He wanted me to come back tomorrow but it's so far away. I told him I'd keep in touch through emails and over the phone.

Oy. This isn't good. My blood pressure is extremely low at 80/50. My feet are PURPLE. and ice cold.

Thanks trav :) luckily it's been cool here we might even get rain tonight. Looks like it's about to pour.

And now to really put salt in my wound I started my period. Great.

Can someone please throw a little luck my way?????? This is getting out of hand!! I seriously almost cried when the rash came back..

Oh happyjo! That's terrible! I'm so sorry! That would make me crazy. I've been getting bit by something. My mother in law has too. She thinks it's chiggers, but I'm not sure they are in Oregon lol. I know it's not fleas or ticks. I think it's these little tiny black beetle lookin things. Bugs can be such jerks! I know they are hungry and need to eat, but they should find something than us humans!!

I hope you're feeling good today. How is treatment going anyway?
