As I meet more and more people that have begun using Lyme-N or have completed treatment, one subject always comes up: that of ongoing symptoms. I have posted on this before, but I don't think it can be overstated that ongoing symptoms can have many, many possible culprits. After coming across Amy Moser's blog post, this is just another possible culprit to add to your list.
This first hand account by Amy of the life altering damage she has suffered from these antibiotics should give us pause. Most of us with Lyme have been given a plethora of different abx over the years in an effort to somehow get to the Lyme that is ravaging our bodies. It's likely that many reading this have been prescribed these in the past and our ongoing symptoms may be a result of their use.
Kudos to Amy for sharing her story and informing the public about this where doctors have failed to do so. I am just passing along her information in an effort to spread her news. She has some excellent links to all kinds of FDA warnings, Health Department warnings, International Health Organization warnings, Newspapers articles, etc. regarding the dangers of these antibiotics. Even if you have only used them for a VERY short time, consider that this could be the cause of your damage and ongoing symptoms.
