Question: Hi...I was bitten aprox April 17 this year. Symptoms came on so suddenly 2 wks ago-knees,sore throat on 1 side which has subsided,hand & arm pain joints & muscle...everything moves around day to day, crepitis, exhausted, etc. Took 4 doxi 100mg daily for 13 days. Very XXXXXXX here (CT) & got severely burnt & rash despite 50 sunscreen. Nose & hands still burnt bcuz I have to go outside & walk dog. Blister on lip (never had before-no herpes ever) wouldn't go away despite constant lip protection. Discontinued doxi but continued on samento (am up to 10 drops 2x daily). Took nothing but samento yesterday bcuz there are so many schools of thought for natural remedies for acute lyme. Most say continue doxi for 4 wks to kill bacteria. I cannot do that & would like some advice as to what to take w samento to continue trying to kill the bacteria. Taking probiotics & herbals (Super green formula Perfect Food caps & Zyflamend for healthy inflammation response). Very healthy, aerobic exercise & weight train forever, do not eat meat, lots of chic, XXXXXXX salad, fruits & veggies & take Life-Pac vitamins daily. Rarely, if ever, get sick. Have been under excessive stress since Oct 29 hurricane -lost 1 floor of my home which was my office (self employed & unable to work since then) & it is under repair but 1 problem & expense after another has cleaned me out & worn me down. Did not exercise for 5 mos & barely left my home but trying to make myself now despite feeling like Sh*t everyday. Read that really helps because bacteria cant survive re O2. Can some 1 please tell me what else I should be taking? I have A-Bart, A-L & ginger & honey tonic for digestion, all unopened. Should I be taking Banderol with the Samento if the lyme is not chronic?? Please advise...Thank u very much for your help....Victoria
