Starting Marshall Protocol
I just found out last week I have Lyme after being ill since Aug.2011 told Dr I got bit by several ticks and one left a red rash....I have all the classic symptoms muscle twitching, fatigue, depression,etc. the list goes on and on,found a LLMD on my own and he ordered a test for Igenex and yes came back pos. for Lyme I will be starting Marshall Protocol in a few days.needless to say I am very nervous about the whole thing especially what I have read about the herx part. I don't want to feel worse than I already do.

When I first started Lyme treatment, I couldn't figure out most days whether to put toothpaste on my toothbrush or my hairbrush -- I was such a mess.
That you can figure out this treatment plan is a tribute to you and your brain! You go -- and keep us posted.

LOL-It's difficult to follow at times, especially with 4 Byron White formulas and 12 supplements to be taken throughout the day,
but that's why the doc writes up an elaborate weekly planner, which I keep on the refrigerator for quick reference.
By the time I think I've got them memorized, a new plan is about to be set in place.
I'm sure the gov's got a Lymepill, we just have to wait for the vaccine to come out first-LOL

Interesting approach. I personally would be cross-eyed trying to remember what to take when!
When I've read of pulsing, it has been done for X days on the meds, then Y days off the meds, lather/rinse/repeat, which concerned me that the remaining bacteria could recuperate on the off-meds days and potentially become antibiotic-resistant as a result. Bad news.
Given the rotation you are on, tho, it sounds like you have constant meds in your system, which (assuming they are all effective constantly in some fashion) should avoid the peril of creating abx-resistant bacteria (as can happen when cycling on and off all meds at the same time).
Someday, someday, there will be an antiLyme pill that we can take for a week and have the whole shebang wiped out of our system. Here's to that day arriving soon!
Do keep us posted on your progress -- and best wishes.

Flagyl on the weekends allows it to kill the cysts that were probably formed in defense of the other ABX throughout the week.
I am now taking Omnicef twice every day. I am not sure why my LLMD pulses the Bactrim on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but it may be because he only wants one antibiotic to be the constant, and Omnicef technically will be, even when I don't take it the days I'm taking the IV Rocephin, because Omnicef is basically the pill form of Rocephin. I'm guessing he wants the Flagyl taken Saturday and Sunday because you have to take antibiotics at least 48 hrs. for them to work at killing off the spirochete. The Bactrim may be a Borrellia/Babs/Bart weakening agent. Pulsing with a constant probably allows a multiple array of ABX to be utilized without an overt chance of complications from long-term and/or multiple simultaneous usage.
