well I'm positive

For almost a year now I've thought I had lyme and treated a few times. Never had a positive test and had sarcoidosis years ago so thought that was the other option coming back.

Just got a call from a new llmd that I have a positive Erlichia and lyme but not a lot of lyme. Babs and bart were both neg. I've been off antibiotics for 3 weeks now since the stomach pain became to much. It feels about 80% better. When I saw the new llmd he prescribed doxy/azithromax/tinadazole/biciliin. I did not start any of it yet. I'm wondering if this should change due to the Erlichia? I've read about having Erlichia you should only stay on tetracyclines? Is this true? I just got Rawls and Buhners books in the mail and in at least Rawls he says for Erlichia to use antibiotics. I was thinking about switching to herbs.

I wanted to do IV rocephin but insurance denied it I'm wondering if they will approve it now with the positive test. But should I even try for it if I have Erlichia?

Insurance should pay for the rocephin but they may not pay for anything else. By that I mean the IV bag, saline, tubing and the infusion cost. Their reasoning is if you haven't exhausted every other avenue of treatment then they're not paying for something that isn't medically necessary.

I don't know anything about Erlichia, sorry. My responding will bump this back to the top which will get more eyes on your post. If you still don't get a response you could try doing a site search on here. In the google custom search box you could type Erlichia protocols, or something like that. It will bring up all threads that have been on that subject.

9 month of doxy didnt clear my friends erlichia...
