More than a month behind, I finally looked up A Real MS Walk. Very neatly done! Sarah

My mom takes the 100mg Minocycline before going to bed, so that she can sleep through the episodes of fatgue. She is pretty much worried about the side-effects of a long term ABX treatment and will therefore have her blood tested every week (as it is recommended in the package insert). --Frank

I just have another question, is there something i should be doing to reduce my chances of becoming resistant to the abx im eating, like now i started the roxy and want to stop, would i have less chances of becoming resistant if i eat it for say two weeks and then stop than if i eat it for 4 days then stop ?

Yes! Yes! Yes! Congrats Robbie!!!!!!

ACE, if you want to try something developed by an aeronautical engineer, go ahead but if you really want to stand a chance of recovering from PPMS you must do the Vanderbilt antibiotic regime. If you take probiotics two hours apart from the antibiotics your good bacteria will not be harmed. If I had messed around with MMS, my disease was progressing so quickly in the end that I would ...

You must do this to stop it ...

Ken, I was treated for my MS with doxycycline, roxithromycin and pulses of metronidazole but on the assumption that I had a chlamydia pneumoniae infection, rather than lyme. Cpn is the main bacteria being investigated as causing MS. Neuro-lyme can appear very similar to MS but the good thing is that both infections will respond to the same antibiotics. I was tested for both pathogens...

Agatha, I'm glad you managed a fantastic week on holiday: it shows that better times are on the way. When I was about eighteen months into treatment, I got rather careless with walking up and down stairs: I was carrying a half filled mug of soup or coffee back down to the kitchen when I misbalanced and slid down the last half dozen steps on my bum. Strangely enough, I managed to hold the...
