Pulse dosing

[kimbees]

Hi
Does anyone have experience with pulse-dosing ? I am currently taking Biaxin, Plaquenile and Samento Monday- Thursday with 3 days off per week. I've read about other regimens and wondering if I'm doing the best thing to kill the Lyme effectively.
Thank-you!

My LLMD also pulses and uses a combination of antibiotics.  I've been happy with the approach, but as JackieCalifornia notes not all doctors pulse.

I think it worked well for me because I tend to have (and especially at the beginning had) strong Herx reactions, so the pulsing broke up the severe aftermath of the antibiotics.

Personally (and I'm not medically trained) I think it is more important to be on combination treatment than it is to take the antibiotics daily vs. pulsing.  I know I've seen the biggest reactions and changes in my health when I was on more than one antibiotic at a time.

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

I haven't been treated that way, but others here have.  Keep checking back to see if someone has posted.  If your post starts getting pushed too far down the page without a reply, copy and pasted the question into a new post.
