Driving a car while being on the CAP?

  • Cpn treatment experiences
Dear all, even I am 3 years on the CAPi [1], I am not sure, if I can give an answer on one question. Is it possible to drive a car everyday while being on the CAP? I know that many people had not so strong reactions as I had for example, but .... anyway, they might come later, am I right? Is there anybody, who started the CAP and was not limited in his activity by the treatment? My friend drives almost everyday of about hundreds of km and I am afraid how it would be on pulses for example .... I am afraid (according to my experiences) that it would be dangerous .... but I would like to hear your opinions. Thanks a lot.

Zdenicka, about four months

Zdenicka, about four months into the CAPi [1] I drove during a Flagyli [5] pulse. In retrospect, I think I should have stayed home. This was one of the worst pulses I experienced. The disorientation, muscle pains and brain fog were severe and here I was driving out on the freeway anxious to pick up a new computer. I made it home safely but I know my reaction times were poor and it did not make sense to drive while feeling this way. Might be good to caution your friend about this.

I didn't drive the first

I didn't drive the first week of abxi [12], only because I didn't need to. I have driven almost every day since then, for 33 months straight. The protocol has had very little impact on my life, except to heal me.

Zdenika, In my opinion it

Submitted by Louise on Sun, 2008-07-06 03:25.

Zdenika, In my opinion it would be hard to tell prior to treatment how a person will react or be able to tolerate treatment and preform complex activities such as driving.   Personally, early on Brain Fog was a factor in my choosing not to drive at times.  I was taking bateriocidal dosage of Doxycycline (high dose, 400 mg/day per order of MD) and die-off and porphria were both contributing to my situation.  For me at times it seemed unsave to drive. 

My observation, after reading these pages for the past year is that the type of presentation of chronic illness that one has been dealing with has some relevance in the downtime one experiences.  For me the first 4 months were the most difficult.  And changing from high dose mono abxi [12] (high dose doxy alone) to Doxy/Roxi CAPi [1] was much easier on me.  When I started Tinidazole pulses I also started cholestyramine with the pulse so cannot say how it would have been for me had I not had that anti-porphrin measure in place.  I continue to use cholestryamine intermittently as needed with or without pulse when I begin to feel signs of increasing brain fog and the other porphria symptoms.

Thanks for asking this question and nice to hear from you again.   Louise

I know, I only wanted to

I know, I only wanted to know, if there is a chance that it might be easier in his case then in mine .... Hm, we will see. I personally would not drive at the beginning of the CAPi [1], but I heard that some people on the CAP did not have any troubles ...... so I just wanted to read it again ...
