My Mom was Diagnosed with lime diseses after a year of suffering.Why did not one Doctor recognize the symstens? ## Hello, Lynn! How are you? I am so very sorry about what happened to your son. It can be very difficult to recognize the symptoms, if no tick is seen on the person and if the typical bullseye rash is not seen. The general aches, pains and etc. can be mistaken for many other illnesses. How is he doing, now? What medication is he on for it?

itching all over, I've been diagnosed with lyme is there any other meds I can take they told me to take benadryl but it doesn't help im afraid im allergic to the medication ## Hello, Whit! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Yes, if the Benadryl didn't help, you might be having an allergic reaction to the antibiotic. Have you contacted your doctor, again? You may need to try a different one. The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. The last time that happened to me, my doctor had me use a Hydrocortisone cream to alleviate it, so you may want to ask your doctor about using on. Its typical side effects include skin redness, irritation, dryness ...

Hi there, I'm on lymecylcine at the moment, with isotrex gel at night - someone has recommended accumax supplements to me - is it ok to take the two together? ## Hello, Elliej88! How are you? Is your doctor aware that you're taking Lymecycline while using the Isotrex? Those are actually contraindicated and using them both together could be very dangerous, it risks pseudotumor cerebri, as warned about by the FDA. Before adding anything else, I think you need to have this checked out to avoid putting yourself in danger. Have you been suffering any headaches or vision loss?

My daughter has been diagnosed with Lymes disease from a tick bite.The doctor has her on 3 different antibiotics, and some supplements, but she is suffering in every manner. I don't think the doctor knows what he is doing. She is not getting better, if anything, she is getting worse. She can no longer work, and she feels she is losing her mind. She is 39 years old. Please help us! Anyone out there know about this affliction? ## Lyme's can be very bad, if has gone untreated for awhile, due to not being diagnosed at first, or what have you, it is must easier to treat and eradicate the earlier it is caught. She may need some other medications to help with the pain and suffering, while waiting for the antibiotics to work. Which antibiotics is she taking? The FDA lists the typical an...

My doctor put me on Doxycycline for 3 weeks after noticing a bullseye around a bite on my arm. I was outside three days earlier in an area that had tick warnings, so she had a strong suspicion it was Lyme. But the bite actually had two puncture wounds and not the typical bullseye where you see a distinct ring around it. So now I’m thinking it might actually be a spider bite. I’m concerned I might be on antibiotics for no reason. Is it harmful to be on antibiotics for so long if I’m not sick? She did a blood analysis, but said it will most likely come back negative since I just got bit. I was told the blood work won’t show anything for another few weeks, so I could be taking a risk if I stop the antibiotic. Does anyone know if a tick bite would have two punctures?...

is there a natural cure for lymes disease ## Hello, Tom! How are you? No, Lymes requires treatment with antibiotics, how much and how long they need to be taken depends on the severity of the disease. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotic treatment as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The latest thing I read about for Lyme disease is intravenous Vitamin C. You'll have find a dr. of Alternative Medicine eo do that. I get intravenous drips to remove plaque from the arteries but that is a similar idea. ## In answer to the question of what kind of antibiotics my daughter is on, I have the information. Amoxicillin - Metrodizonale - Minocycline. She has been on these, on and off fo...

I was diagnosed with Lymes disease and was perscibed Doxycyl Hyc 100mg a day for 30 days.

I hope I have not waited too longe and will suffer long term symtoms.

I've been on oxycodone 30's (120) and (240) methadone 10mg for 10 years, then out of nowhere they cut my meds in half. It was the worst time ever to punish me for not going in for an MRI on my back. They have other MRIs from me but I was passing a kidney stone at the time and had Lyme disease messing with every part of my body and brain... Eyes & muscles twitching along with 24/7 joint pain. It was so extreme to mess my body and mind up with awful withdrawals. I wasn't diagnosed with Lyme disease till a year later. Half my vision's gone and I can barely walk in a mall for no more than 10-15 minutes. I find it hard standing to cook or do dishes, as my back goes totally berserk. It's more painful to lie down on my new bed than to sit up and roll my back in downward...

taking antibiotic for lyme disease. Brand name selected by doctor was omnicef. Was given generic by pharmacist. The pill is blue capsule. Is sandoz 663 a manuafactured name, but it will still act as antibiotic. ## This type of confusion does happen a lot, so I'd like to add some information to this post to help clear it up for anyone else in the future. The way a pill looks doesn't matter, the color doesn't matter and neither does the manufacturer, the only relevant thing that matters if what it contains, as long as it has the right active ingredient as what your doctor prescribed and the right dosage, then it is still the same medication and will treat the same conditions. In this case, the doctor ordered Omnicef, which is an antibiotic that contains the active ingredient C...

So i was wondering what is the next step up in something stronger... i dont want the 10/600 dosage , Percocet just isnt for me....Can anyone help me?? ## Hi Stephen, I actually came across a chart listing all of the top pain killers, ranking them from weakest to strongest. And it looks like morphine sulfate would most-likely be the next step up from what you're taking now. You can view the chart here to get an idea of what options are out there: vaughns-1-pagers.com/medicine/painkiller-comparison.htm I hope this helps to answer your question! ## Well i am already taking the Fentanyl Patch so i would like to avoid morphine...So what else would work? ## The...

I suffer from lyme disease and Babeseosis. I have already reached my limit from the insurance company and the medication will now cost me over 1200.00 per month. Can I get help with the mepron and the azithromycin 250mg tabs 2 per day? ## Mepron contains the active ingredient Atovaquone and is often used with the antibiotic Azithromycin to treat Babesia, when other medications haven't been successful. AS to assistance, what country are you in? There are assistance programs in many countries, but only for name brand medications and people without any insurance coverage. They usually do not provide help if you have some type of coverage. And since the Azithromycin is a generic, there is no assistance available for it. Have you tried checking prices at different pharmacies? Perhaps you...
