I’m en route to the hospital rn.
I’m holistic and actually have an eastern medicine protocol using herbs that got rid of chlamydia. So a natural antibiotic.
But while Lyme disease can be serious and it seems risky to try and cure it with natural remedies. I’m on the fence.
But what’s this about an herbal remedy? I don’t know conventional doctors to prescribe that
IF this is Lyme (and it very well could be), you NEED antibiotics in the early stages. Herbals are supplementary only right now, and helpful in longer term situations when trying to eradicate the different forms the bacteria takes. But right now doxycycline should be enough assuming you start immediately and take a long enough course.
Please make sure you take a high enough dose for a long enough period of time. 100mg’s of doxy for two weeks, isn’t going to cut it.
Also, would be a good idea to be tested for co-infections. Babesia, Ehrlichia, Bartonella….
Wishing you a full, and speedy recovery.
There are two groups, ILADS and IDSA. It is a big divide. Without going into it too much, I am in the IlADS camp.
[Dose recommendation.](https://projectlyme.org/resource/doxycycline-for-preventing-lyme-disease/)
It can just be uncomfortable for some people. Nausea, sun exposure.
Long story, but the short of it is that I was very sick for years.
I second ILADS protocol and ignore IDSA (conflict of interests). A LLMD or LLND is aware of all this and follows ILADS protocol. [https://www.lymedisease.org/find-lyme-literate-doctors/](https://www.lymedisease.org/find-lyme-literate-doctors/)
No way.. how early after the bite did you start the meds? And what was the prescription?
Sick for years sucks, I’m sorry :(
Are you back to 100% after those couple of years or is there some lingering issues?
Get to the doctor for antibiotics and also an herbal protocol

Thank you! I’m on it. I can’t believe it but ya, definitely Lyme disease 😱

I got prescribed doxycycline-m-ratiopharm 100mg for 20x days.
I am not a dr. But as a former Lyme patient, and I know it sucks, but 400mgs (200 to a day) for a month is worth it.
Why would it suck? Doctor said this would be plenty though. What was your experience?

The conventional doctors won’t prescribe that, you will have to do the research for it on your own, this sub has a ton of resources. I recommend both.
Thanks man. I’ll do that
Lyme* and yes that’s a huge Lyme rash!
