Newly Diagnosed and Questions

Submitted by peaceplease on Sun, 2009-06-21 13:49.

Hi:

I see a LLMD for possible Lyme. He tested me through LabCorp for CPNⁱ. My IGAⁱ levels came back very high and he said that means I have an active infection. I suffer from Interstitial Cystitisⁱ, Chronic Facial Pain that started with an acute sinus infection, various areas of nerve pain, transient hip and muscle pain.

I have a few questions:

(1) Does an elevated IGA mean I am actively infected and could I spread this to my husband, children etc via a cough? I never, ever get coughs and when I am sick with anything upper respiratory it always goes to my sinuses. No ENT has ever been able to explain my sinus problemsⁱ as on CT SCAN they look fine (no inflammationⁱ etc.)

(2) He wants me to take Zithromax and Omnicef for 3 months and then I think he is going to start flagylⁱ. I see this in not the CPN protocol. I think he is more going after the Lyme. Could these antibioticsⁱ he wants me to take help with the CPN or do I have to take doxyⁱ too?

(3) I know Doxy can cause sun sensitivity, does anybody know if Zithromax can too?

Thanks!

No sun sensitivity for zithromax. In my family, doxyⁱ did cause sun sensitivity, but it was dose dependent--200mgs did not, but 400mgs did big time! Minocycline never caused sun sensitivity in us so it was a nice alternative, but i think it can cause sensitivity in some. Clear as mud :) best, Lexy

I had some improvement with my respiratory ailments on just azi but had a much more dramatic improvememnt after adding doxyⁱ. If you don't get a lot of improvement with azi, or improve then plateau, I'd push for adding doxy.
