> Hey Bleauberry, why antibiotics? What type of infection do you think she has? Curious.
I have no idea. And it doesn't matter. Mycoplasma, lyme, whatever, who cares. The treatments are the same. No doctor would know either. The organisms are further advanced than our wisdom and technology at this time. They've had thousands of years of evolution to develop cunning methods of avoiding detection by immune systems, disabling immune systems,, deceiving immune systems, and thus evading the best tests we have....we frankly aren't very good at identifying their presence. We can only see their devastation.
It's just that my doctor who is a pain/fatigue specialist sees more patients cured on antibiotics than anything else. We're talking 95% cure, not just improving or getting better. All other treatments are only supportive, but not curative. All other treatments have a poor track record. Antibiotics work. The right ones. They have to be intracellular and cyst busters.
Most patients who get well never know what they had. All they know is they got their lives back on antibiotics. That's all that matters.
The poop, pee, and toxins of unseen unsuspected bugs clog receptors. No wonder we see the fatigue, pain, and psychiatric manifestations. No wonder it takes LDN (displace toxins from opioid receptors), T3 (displaces toxins from thyroid receptors), forskolin (displaces toxins from adrenal receptors), or ultra high dose psychiatric meds (displaces toxins from neurotransmitter receptors) to see symptomatic improvement (but not cure or slowing of disease). It might take 60mg to 80mg Lexapro instead of 40mg, to do what 40mg would have otherwise done without the presence of the toxins. No wonder we see some ultra sensitive psych patients to low doses....the serotonin can't get where it is supposed to go, so instead goes where it is not supposed to go, and thus intense sensitivity.
So Maxine, who knows what's involved. All I know is, my doctor sees most lyme and non-lyme patients of pain and fatigue get cured on antibiotics. I guess science will fill in the gaps in coming decades, but that doesn't do us any good now. Antibiotics are a relatively safe approach with high potential. Much safer than other common options and with much higher potential. More importantly, the end result goal is symptom resolution, not just symptom suppression.
