Have been on/off antibiotics since 2006 in large doses. When I moved to central NJ displayed every single symptom of Lyme in 1992 & again in 1994. MD said labs were negative. 2005 woke up, couldn't move, trouble swallowing. Lived near Manhattan so I went there to try to find out why all these bizarre things were happening to me: 4cm parathyroid adenoma removal, rectal blood hemmorage, requiring transfusion, bleeding very heavy during my period until I began bleeding heavily every day , finally hysterectomy, sick all the time. 2006 diagnosed Lyme + co-infections. Lyme MD went back over all my med records & found that Lyme lab was positive. Put on azthromycine/doxycycline/bactrim/ & more for 3 years straight. Immune system shut down due to malnutrition & gastroparesis; kept getting pneumomia/bronchitis;put on more antibiotics. I can no longer take any other antibiotics other than Clindomycin & Levaquin. I too have permanent loss of hearing right side, my hands don't work & weakness in arms & legs. If I take Rocephin, I break out in an unbearable pink itchy rash that keeps spreading; takes weeks to go away; doxy makes me so sick; augmentin I just vomit; can't tolerate penicillin. Please excuse my spelling as my brain isn't working right.
