[...] supplements. I’ve never noticed any improvement or changes in my condition while taking up to 40 pills a day so I’ve just stopped. I’m opting to just eat better and get the nutrients I need via [...]

Okay, confession time. I was just trying on my fake upbeat personality with that last comment
I think know *exactly* how you feel. Charting the symptoms has been interesting. My chart kind of looks like the ocean on a windy day – ever changing, no real pattern, many peaks.
Cheers,

Joe,
Thanks for your comment. I wish it were true that I’m getting better but it’s not. Not really. Yeah I get out and run 12 to 15 miles a week but I use to run and bike about 120 a week before I got sick. So I’m down to about 10% of my previous activity level. That’s pretty much on par with other folks who have Lyme.
It’s all relative to where you were when you got sick, I think. I’ve had trouble getting docs to understand this. My LLMD thought I’d be off abx by December. I was like, you have to be kidding me!
I dunno if the Mepron is helping or not. I feel worse since starting it but can’t tell if it’s a herx. It doesn’t feel like any herx I’ve had before.
Be well and happy thanksgiving to you too.

Hi Geoffrey,
Ah, old-people pill boxes. I can relate. I’m also at around 40+ per day right now.
I’m glad you were able to tolerate getting back on the Mepron. I think it helped me a lot.
Also glad to see that you’re running. (How in the heck can you do that with Lyme?) You must be getting better!
Happy Thanksgiving.
