We've been with the CPNi [17] Help site since I became ill, and we've gained insightful, profound knowledge and learned how much we have in common with many of you. Thank You. I haven't blogged til now as I never really felt up to the simple task. Also, as the treatment progressed, I wanted to know more perspective on how I was doing. There was/is still so much unknown. Here is my story. I hope it will help anyone who is in need of support or direction with respect to the antibiotic treatment.
Blog will soon be posted based on the perspective of seeing the results of treatment and our struggle to get there.
May 4, 2006 diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosisi [2] 18-23+ lesions on brain and spinal cord. (too many to count accurately, i guess. all 16 doctors we've seen to this point are all amazed at my functionality/coordination in light of the MRI's)
Bloodwork showed negative/undetermined Lyme with 3 suspicious titers, showed past infection Babsiosis, showed past infection CPNi [17] and new chronic CPN infection.
I have been on antibioticsi [19] and supplementsi [20] since May 6, 2006. Currently on 5 antibiotics (IV Rocephini [21], Tindamax, Rifampin, Diflucan, Minocycline) (already went through Azithro and Mepron) at the same time and daily doses. No pulsing. I will be finishing all antibiotics at the end of this month and will go off to see how I do. Then I will follow with pulses, etc.. It's been a crude/rough 6 months, but have felt the need to hit it all at once and not draw it out over time. We need to get back to living.
