Dear friends,

I ve been taking 3 fold combination of mino-rifampicin-azitro (200mg-600mg-500mg). Yet recently I feel like worsening of neurological symptoms, especially in the brain - something more to do with inflmmation of brain, meningitides or encephalytis: increased pain and discomfort in the head , that does not seem to be herxing, something looks like is going wrong and i dont know what it is. Also something like dizyness. Together with that I m observing more pain in lymphatic system, like lymph nodes. Pain that is raising and passing but still keeps coming back quite often. I m not sure how to understand it and how to relate with it. The only thing is I started to take more nerve-system supporting supplements such as gotukola/brahmi, magnesium, lions mane. Thank you for any feedback and/or advices, best regards, B

i mean mino always gave me wierd brain inflammation or symptoms. It was for me always hard to say is it a mino sideeffect or an brain herx. How long are you taking this combi? if you take it longer then 6 weeks and you didnt improve much i would change it. I took so much mino that at the end i need to replace it because it did nothing to me anymore. For the lymph i can suggest red root is really the best. But start low it could sometimes relase some toxins to fast. And you need to take some natto to make the blood a bit more flow.

Minocycline is an antibiotic that gets through the blood/ brain barrier well.

When I took it - I felt it in my head. I would feel head pressure. No other abx that I took (and I took several different ones over the years I treated) did that.

The positive thing is - the mino got rid of the Lyme/bart in my head..

Dear friends, thanks for your kind answers.
I ve been taking it almost a year now, with interruptions. I m not sure if that pain is sideffect. I hope mino is doing its job and is doing well, yet that weird pain occured only in recent week. Perhaps i will wait and see, how it will evolve or get worse. Frankly speaking I tend to take also 50mg with lunch, so totall daily intake can be 250mg. But i believe after half year body got used to so perhpas slight increase of dosage is ok.
Previously i took doxy and had weird side effects mainly with sun, even my lips got burned. In this regard i m happy with mino. Talking about increase of dosage, have anyone tried Rifampicin 900mg per day?
I took nato, now I m on lumbro, I guess they are working similiary. Thanks, for your advices, i will try to perhaps increase red root, sofar I m taking once a day, i will try two times.
Also today its a kind of better and I will see the progression. I m also having other question but I thought its maybe better to open other tread, since its a different topic.
Best regards, B

“Frankly speaking I tend to take also 50mg with lunch, so totall daily intake can be 250mg. But i believe after half year body got used to so perhpas slight increase of dosage is ok.”

That is why it’s recommended to take two (or more) abx together
