Hello everyone its been a while since I posted. Ive been feeling quite well for a while now. But for the past week ive been feeling really bad. I dont know what it is but just a lot of fatique, muscle pains, swollen lymph nodes and nasua. also I ive noticed ive got petechia on my skin. Its small and hardly noticable. also it goes away within a week but new ones reapear. I read up on this and it says usually people with luekemia get this. Im now scared that I have a hidden cancer the docs didnt find. I just took some charcoal about 5 minutes ago to battle the severe depression. hopefully that helps. My question is does anyone experince having petechia while having cpni and related infectionsi? thanks and god bless all to get better Lee

Hello all,
I had to call a halt to chlorquinaldol due to its obvious harmful effects on my visual acuity.
To finish the experiment I decided to try the last 2 combinations of antibioticsi I can think of for my condition: levofloxacin + azithro & rifampicin + minocyclin

Hello everybody,
I'm back with a short update after months of silence and relative well-being.
In my previous blog post I was praising a Romanian brand of mustard for its more than positive effects. In the meantime I have been brought down to earth by several mild relapses and the fact that a few of my symptoms refused to go away completely. However, I can say that my general condition has been more than acceptable, allowing me to function almost normally.
Having assumed for a long time that mine is an fungal infection, I decided about 5 weeks ago to embark on a risky experiment by adding oral chlorquinaldol to my daily regimen. To my utmost surprise, I got some significant improvements such as:

Today I got my cpni antibodie test back. I never had so high antibodies before treatment. 6 - fold increase. Why are the antibodies dueto cpn are increasing? is it due to treatment? Like when you stir the bugs up - the more antibodies you produce? Any help would be great. Anyone else experienced increased antibodies to cpn while on treatment? Currently I am on Rifampin 1x600 + Cipro 2x750 + tini for bartonella and cpn. I have done the regular wheldon protocoll for 9 months till 11/08 - I had to take a break for 2 month due to cdiff. Restarted with different protocoll due to bartonella coinfection.

Intermittant Thereapy~~~ There recently have been quite a few who have gone to intermittant therapy (hurray!). I know in recent discussions comments are made "to refer back to their individual posts" to see what that consists of. It is difficult sometimes to query this site for such specific information re each member.

I am in need of some help right now! These last few days I have'nt been able to hold it together and I don't know what has changed. Feelings of confussing like never before and extreme fear have crept in. Yesterday I held off on all antibioticsi to see if I would have some relief and today is real bad. I am having trouble with walking again, very stiff in my right leg and lower back. And very dizzy and hard to concentrate. The only thing I can see diffrent may be the yeast problem on my tongue that has developed, but I have been taking the oregano oil for it. Maybe I haven't been taking my charcoal and cholest. like I should? I am treating my adrenals with hydrocortisone, half of a 5mg. tablet four times a day.

Well, it's been so long since I've posted, I'll be surprised if anyone even remembers me. I've been fighting to get to take Flagyli (or similar) and my doc wanted me to take pyruvate and then take rifampin off and on (but not take flagyl). I wasn't up for the rifampin off and on; still terribly confused by his desire to avoid flagyl and pulse rifampin, but went ahead and took the pyruvate. I vomited like I had food poisoning and had some other strong reaction on day 9 (or got the stomach flu?) and stopped taking pyruvate temporarily. I got a similar reaction about a week later even though I hadn't started taking pyruvate again. My gut instinct is that it was a delayed reaction, but I have no real idea. I felt really sick and weird for a few days.

I am in a quandry. I am concerned I may be developing a resistance to doxyi and/or azith, is that possible? Or could it just be time for me to mix it up? I am again very ill with severe bronchitis and/or cpni pneumoniae symptoms. I am almost physically at the point I was in March of 2007 when I was first diagnosed (bed ridden, chest pain, deep bronchial coughing, very weak) This is about the 3rd episode over the last 6 months (2nd within the past 2 months!) In all honesty my improvements over the past year haven't been significant, other than a reduction in brain fog and a reduction in my FM symptoms. As each month passes I keep adding to the mix..... I KNOW that is part of this process -- it just becomes more obvious how infected I must be.

Someone recently sent me this video of the life cycle of Chlamydia. If you haven't seen it, I think it helps explain how/why these are such chronic and difficult infectionsi to treat. The video doesn't specifically address which type of Chlamydia it is referring to but from what I've seen online, Chlamydia T and Chlamydia P respond the same in the body and are treated the same way.

My 4 year old son got really sick last week and had to take him out of school. He had high fever, swollen lymph nodes, coughing, and very tired. I was scared that he caught my cpn i but when I toke him to the doctor and they diagnosed him with mono. Im so glad he didnt catch the cpn. Hes getting better now. therers nothing you can do for mono but let it run its course. I know its close to impossible to pass this infection along when your on the antibiotics i and if its not in the resperatory area but I was still worried.

My poor body is protesting again. Basically, I have been ill since November 3rd with a severe bout of bronchitis, almost as bad as when I first became ill in Nov. of 2006. Doc told me to double up on my azith and take it daily -- which I did. I also became SEVERELY constipated being in bed most of the month. Was starting to have "spells", nausea other wiggy symtpoms, so I took milk of magnesia... I got relief but it also threw my colon into spasms. Luckily I had some hycosomine from a previous "spastic bladder" after a bladder scope. The drug helped the spasms which I am contining to have 2 weeks later. I continue to have nagging pain in left descending colon area and splenic flexure area.
