Often referred to as “pulse therapy”, PEMF supports your body’s natural abilities to optimize balanced body functions while boosting your immune system.

(Edited) Pulse Therapy

Alright. I just started the new medication and doses on Monday, March 30th, and already I have greatly suffered the Herx affect. (See last post for definition) I have had horrible stomach cramps, nerve issues, heart palpitations from barely getting my heart rate up, muscle spasms, heat flashes, crying spells, dizziness, fatigued, migraines, and an over all feeling that I am not myself. I feel very disconnected from my surroundings at the moment. 

I called my specialist on the fourth day of the treatment (Today) and he decided to lower some of the dosages I’m on. Honestly, I was hoping he would reduce the amount of medications I was on in total, but sadly you don’t always get what you want.

I’m hoping to feel better soon. Thanks to all who have seen me through the past few days.

Pulse Therapy

Here we go again. I saw my Lyme Specialist in Harleysville PA and got an extremely rigorous, but hopefully helpful, new therapy plan. My doctor is trying out a relatively new therapy called “pulse therapy” where we double the dosages of my antibiotics (and add some new) but only take them a few times a week. I’ve been off antibiotics for about 2 months now, so my body will take some readjusting. But with pulse therapy it won’t be as hard on my liver and my stomach, but holds twice the power due to the increase of dosage and amount of antibiotics. On top of that, I’m going to start taking some meds to work on the bacteria that’s hiding in the biofilm in my body. 

Whats biofilm you ask? My doctor used the example of when you skip brushing your teeth and you get that grainy, filmy, layer of gunk over your teeth (I know you all know what I’m talking about). Well, we have bio film all throughout our body and bacteria and parasites can often hide in there, where normal antibiotics and the immune system can’t reach on their own. SO we are fighting hard to dig deep inside and clean out the lyme, bartonella, and babesiosis disease. 

Starting next Monday here’s what I’ll be taking & when.

Omnicef (300 mg) - two capsules, 2x a day, M,W,&F

Minocycline (100 mg) - one capsule, 2x a day, M,W, &F

Septra DS - one capsule, 2x a day, M,W, &F

Tinidazole (500 mg) one capsule, 2x a day, Th & F

Diflucan (200 mg) one capsule, 2x a day, Th & F

(Second round of pulse therapy, add Biofilm Treatment)

Xylitol 2 tsp daily M-M (8 days)

Lactoferrin (500 mg) one capsule, 2x a day, M-M (8 days)

in addition to all these NEW meds, I’m still continuing with my Thyroid medicine, numerous vitamin supplements, and the doctor gave me Burbur and Pinella to take if I herx. 

Herx: Herxing is believed to occur when injured or dead bacteria release their endotoxins into the blood and tissues faster than the body can comfortably handle it. This provokes a sudden and exaggerated inflammatory response.

So I start this new plan Monday the 30th, and of course I’m a bit nervous. Herxing is one of the worst pains I’ve experienced & I’m not looking forward to starting this process up again, but I’m committed to loving my body and getting it well. I will keep this blog updated with the results, but I’d really appreciate the good vibes and thoughts :) Thanks for reading!
