Update

I wanted to give an update. My wife and I went to the our LLMD on Monday. Again, I just want to share my story and will let my wife tell hers. I am currently on Flagyl and finishing up that. I have been on antibiotics for over a year and have really felt no difference one way or another other than some side effects that have been tolerable. I am going to finish the Flagyl and then do four antibiotics that are taken in pairs and changed every 10 days for a total of 40 days. After that I am done with antibiotics. He also prescribed Diflucan for yeast and Nystatin which I had already been taking. I am also taking another medication to attempt to relieve some pressure on my brain. I have a six month follow up by phone, but not planning on going back to see him.

I take other supplements such as Magnesium Citrate, Tumeric, Iodoral, CoQ10, Vitamin D3, Vitamin B, and Shaklee vitamins. I take Otezla for psoriasis. I even put some vanilla oil on my hands and breathe in before bed to address some anxiety. I have stopped all other anxiety medication at this time.

My wife is looking at treatment this summer in Germany. I am considering the partner treatment but haven't decided. I am fairly confident in my infection. I am just not sure i am at the point of going to Germany for it. I also don't want her to get well and me to be still infected. Obviously I want to get back to normal and don't want to reinfect her. So, that is my current dilemma and need to make a decision.

Any feedback would be appreciated. It is just helpful to write this out as a way for me to process it.

Thanks!

I'm not sure, but is Otezia a medication with one of those warnings that says "don't take if you have an infection." I think that warning means it interferes with your immune system. You would have have to ask your LLMD, because I'm just going by what I hear on commercials.
