i was able to clear it with long term abx but they were not iv - iv exacerbates matters for me (still not sure how). the cocktail that worked for me was long term Biaxin (claritbromycin) accompanied by Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine). i have gotten better from severe neurocognitive Lyme (encephalopathy) from this cocktail twice now, and the one time i went off of it i relapsed within 1 - 2 months. i can’t explai. why it works, but i am fairly good evidence that it does.

sadly there is still a lot of hostility to even this treatment due to hesitation around long-term antibiotics, and recovery takes months - making it difficult to observe. and i think only a few doctors are aware of it as an option.

Lyme may be a complicating factor, but I do not believe it is the root cause. I won't go into details because it will just invite more down votes. You can look at my older posts if you really want to know more. I talked about it a bit when I first created this account.
