Herxheimer Reactions- Just awful

http://www.treatlyme.net/articles/2012/1/12/herxheimer-die-off-reaction-inflammation-run-amok.html


I have posted this link on the Herxheimer Die-Off Reaction.  Both my wife and I are being treated with Flagyl and another antibiotic and we are "herxing badly again". The aches and fatigue can be terrible. I am taking some supplements but I am going to try a few new ones. I would be grateful hearing from any of you that have had success treating this.

Be well,
Richard

Nothing we can do' for Lyme disease as costly treatment option denied
Some question chronic illness

Scores of local victims of a disease they say makes them so 
weak they can't drive, think clearly or make tea without 
laying down are being denied insurance payments for 
treatment of that disease.

This is despite the fact that the antibiotic Rocephin 
alleviates the symptoms of Lyme disease, say many patients 
who have used it and doctors and nurses who have treated 
them with it.

So in order to get the treatment for more than the 28 days 
allowed by many companies - or in some cases, to get it at 
all - victims like Kristin Raucci of Pine Bush, Scott Owens 
of Kerhonkson and Doreen Peone of Saugerties must pay 
hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per month, often 
going broke or even, in the case of Owens, losing a business 
in the process.

Evidence for Chronic Lyme Disease- A must read

Hi Everyone,

      Please go to this link below and read this report. For those of us with chronic Lyme disease it is yet more evidence that long term antibiotic and other aggressive treatments must be used to cure this disease. Also to the insurance companies who are denying treatment for intravenous Rocephin, you also might want to read this. Your determination that it is an experimental treatment, is very much unsubstantiated. I speak to United Health Care and others who are using this ridiculous idea to decline payment for such treatments. When are you and the CDC going to stop fighting treatments that are working, at least a little bit, in some cases, a whole lot. This is the kind of study that will prove to be very beneficial to this on-going argument concerning chronic Lyme Disease.

Be well,
Richard
