So I talked with my doctor. She will be adding in some herbs and another Lyme medication (Omnicef) so that I will be treated all 3 forms of the Lyme. Then, we will look at adding in Babesia meds after that. I mentioned to her about Clindamycin and my reaction to that - how all my muscles were hit after taking it - and how I was interested in taking it to deal with the muscle pain I have so she is considering it although she doesn't really use it in her treatment. I would have liked to start it asap because I just want all this stuff over and done, but she is putting me on A-Bab and A-Bart from Byron White. Who knows? The HH2 and Buhner herbs really knocked out the anxiety/Bart symptoms I had been having for the past 4 and 1/2 years so these herbs could be a real life saver too. I know when I went on the herbs it was a feeling of settling for 2nd best because I was too nervous to take the antibiotics while living in a foreign country with no real lyme specialist in sight. And...it turned out to be a good thing. So I am open. Only thing is right now, the herbs cost more than my medications because my medications are covered by insurance. Herbs aren't
Lastly, I mentioned to her that my stools have not been floating in oily residue after I go the bathroom and she said that the Tinidazole that I am taking treats intestinal parasites so it could be that is why I am digesting better. Parasites.
I asked her if she does the Klinghardt protocol for that but she said she wasn't familiar with it. I think right now I am just going to add humaworm in when I have all her other medications under control that she wants to start me on. Those Klinghardt parasite meds are pretty strong. I would have to go see another doctor. Get started on that protocol and kind of stop the lyme meds I think because they are so strong. It is hard to know the right path. But humaworm seems to be good too so maybe just adding those in for the duration of my treatment may be the best thing after all. I have read that Klinghardt has said that treating parasites first knocks a huge chunk of time of the chronic lyme treatment so that is where I struggle to know if just treating them with herbs somewhere down the line is the right decision after all. Maybe I should be hitting them hard with meds first. BUT, my doctor doesn't do that type of treatment so I would have to go to another. I have one in mind but I am just not ready to move on it yet. I need to pray about all this for guidance from God to know what to do and when to do it, etc.
That is not the only thing I need to pray for guidance for. My husband may be switching jobs in a little bit. There is a dream job that has come up, in an area we want to live, close to family. It would be a perfect transition for him out of what he is doing now into what he is doing. But, it is a long shot because the career he is functioning in now, they don't typically hire from, although it has happened. It would mean we could stay living close by family instead of having to move to another state. But, it would also mean a transition in insurance for me - and right now, I only have to pay 2.00 per prescription with no questions asked as to why I am taking copious amounts of antibiotics for extended periods of time. I really don't want to have to deal with fighting with a new insurance company for treatment because I think my husbands company has the 2nd best insurance policy for its workers in the whole country. No joke. His company is literally listed on one of the very best. The company he worked at a couple of years ago was even better. They paid for EVERYTHING no questions asked. I mean, that was a dream. But anyways, I digress. This is the transition we are in now. I hope he gets the job. It would be amazing. If he doesn't, I don't know what we will do. Where he will work next. Where we will live. At least here, in the transition time, if he doesn't get the job, we have family to live with until we move somewhere. But I hope, and pray, if it would be good for our family, which I think it would be, that he gets this job.
