I have suffered with debilitating joint pain for nearly 15 years! I had all the proper Lyme disease tests done at the leading hospitals here in NYC! I saw the head of rheumatology at Columbia and NYU and no one had any answers!
The only thing that ever worked albeit several months was a combination of three ABx one after the other! I had a really bad respiratory infection and my doctor prescribed Ceftin Bactrim and them Cipro. It cured the infection and ironically from March of that year till September I also had no joint pain whatsoever - and then it returned with a vengeance!
I tried duplicating it again to no avail although the one thing that has always helped ease the pain are ABx and no one has ever been able to tell me why! They claimed it was the anti-inflammatory component in ABx but I explained how could I be pain free for nearly six months after I had taken them if they were no longer IN my system? It clearly abolished something!
I have always always sworn this is some type of bacterial infection but no one believes me! Instead my rheumatologist treats the symptoms by using auto-immune suppressants which makes the pain a BILLION times worse! I have said this solidifies there is an underlying infection but since nothing comes up in the blood (for auto-immune diseases either) he insists on prescribing them which I don't ever take! We have fought for years over the diagnosis and just today I finally switched doctors! I am petrified I have done serious damage to my joints as BOTH knees are shot and this is coming from someone who walked ten miles/day!!!
Instead he has been kind enough to fill my prescriptions for Azithromycin which does help ease the pain but then comes right back! For about a year in the very beginning we used Doxycycline and now looking back, the pain was never ever as bad back then as it is today!
I know in my heart that the Bactrim combo'd with the other ABx worked at the time even though we have never been able to duplicate the results! And although I have never had any rashes or bullseyes - I spent an entire summer on the Cape (MA) often walking my dog in the woods I always always always checked and brushed him thoroughly and never found or saw a tick bite on either of us! I also recall one blood test coming back positive for a co-infection but everyone brushed it off as did I!
Where can you actually obtain IVM?
