Recent positive Lyme test result with Armin and co infections , looking for advice
I was bitten by three ticks in the Cotswolds, which is a red zone for Lyme. And the next day or two, I got a red circle rash on my leg and started getting pain throughout my body, which was more noticeable at night. And so I started taking doxycycline at 400 milligrams a day. But when I moved down after a few days to 200 milligrams, I started getting burning feelings in my feet and involuntary twitching and jaw jerking at night.
Anyway, so I then continued on the doxycycline, I think 400 milligrams per day. And then my doctor also gave me azithromycin at the time in case I had co-infections. But then I did the Armin labs test and it came back positive for Babesia, Bartonella, and ehrlichia as well as Borrelia. So I've now continued on doxycycline, but I've sort of gone to 200 milligrams a day because I've been taking so many other things like cefuroxime and azithromycin, and I've just started atovaquone for the Babesia. But I'm basically on week 11 of oral antibiotics. And in between this time, I've had about 10 IVs with either ceftriaxone or a mix of ceftriaxone with doxy and azithro.
Iv probably had six IVs of the mixed cocktail, and the other three, I think were just ceftriaxone. But anyway, so I still get symptoms. If I even stop the antibiotics for one day, I start getting the twitching comes back and the pain throughout my body or burning sensations.
So I know that this doctor in London who's saying that to do a two-week protocol of the cocktail IV of ceftriaxone, doxy, and azithro every day for two weeks so I am considering this although it is so expensive. But I just wanted to see what else worked for other people and if they found antibiotics helpful and if so how many visor example helped in the end and what doses ? But yes, any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
