I have now officially "broken the duck." That is, completed my very first, 1000mgs Tinidazole pulse, yesterday! 
The only ill effects that I experienced were an increase in labrynthitis and dizziness; and, becoming slightly over-emotional.
The jaw pain (that I was told was caused by anaerobic infection, by my dental surgeon) is gone! And, the severe Raynaud's symptoms that I have been experiencing for months, gone, too!!!
I feel so much better from Tini, not worse!!! I just hope that this will all last and that I do not experience any adverse, delayed reactions!
Many, many thanks to the "Wonderful Wheldons!" And, to all of you, who have made it possible for me to reach this goal that I've been attempting to reach for months, now!!!

Let me be the first to say well done for breaking the duck!
I experienced quite a severe delayed reaction to my first pulse with flagyli. I'm going to give tinii a go for my next one - I could do with feeling better not worse!!
I'd be interested to know how your post pulse reaction develops - hope it stays minimal.

Thank you, Garcia!
My prescribing GP's reaction, when I first presented him with the regime, was that flagyli is "too brutal." But, then, he did agree to prescribing the Tinii.
I wish you all the best in trying it!

That is awesome, I am a few weeks behind you, however I don't think *I will take a gram of it, maybe 500mg.
Even if you have a delayed reaction, you are seeing the light!

I had also planned on only taking 500mg, too. Which I did in the AM. But, by dinnertime, I felt so much better that I couldn't resist taking 500mg more. And, in fact, had less of the dizziness when I wasn't taking that dose with the Doxyi and Roxi.
No delayed reactions, so far...
Ruth, you've been doing so well with the regime, am guessing your pulses will go well, too!

Minai great result from breaking your flagyli duck, I don't expect if will be quite as spectacular again, but first times are always the best. Suffice it to know that it is working and will continue to do so.

Merci, Michele!
Merci, Michele!
No, I suppose that it will not...am just glad Rugby has. But, only to a degree...since colleges will not sanction it.
It is you, whom I credit, for providing the appropriate expression for first pulse achievement!
Yes, it certainly is working!
Congratulations Minai,
Congratulations Minai, Terrific that you got rid of the jaw pain and Raynaud's symptoms. Now, my wish for you is that your memory of them fades into nothingness. Best wishes for your next pulse.
