Treatment Failure

Well, this is depressing. I've been taking my ND's digestive aids and feeling pretty good until yesterday when I reintroduced the drug Tindamax (or Tinidizole) in a half dose: half a pill in the morning with breakfast and half a pill with dinner. 

I woke up all night long with unbearable back pain (where did that come from? I think it's too soon for a die-off) and this morning I'm staring at my coffee, wishing I could drink just one cup, but the acid reflux and nausea have already kicked in. I'm reaching the conclusion that my time with oral drugs is drawing to a close and I'm a little terrified. It seems my body is just saying "No!" and I have to respect that and figure something else out or come up with a management plan.

Now admittedly, I am wildly impatient, a testament to my fiery nature, and I also reintroduced teasel, the A-Bart tincture and the homeopathic remedy "New Tick Bites, Balance II." I assumed they would be less of an impact, but perhaps I've assumed wrong.

Back to the starting line, so here's my new plan. I'll drop the Tindamax again and go with the tinctures and homeopathics and see what happens. If that goes OK, I'll give it a week and try the Tindamax again. I'll find the culprit one way or the other.

I've definitely decided to try the RIFE machine. I've collected more information from people suffering from TBD's (tick-borne diseases) and the success stories are hard to ignore. I think I'll have my first session later this month or early July.

I also see an immunologist at UVA in July and the new Lyme doc in 12 days. I hope and pray someone has workable solutions for me. This is one of those days that I'm staring at the pit of despair and trying not to fall in. Send the good goo, peeps!  I could use it!
