How has it helped you? For example, my mom's neuropathy has spread throughout her entire body. So, is this an antibiotic that targets the underlying viral/bacterial infection? Or is this a drug that is best used in conjunction with LDN? I'm confused as to how an antibiotic would help her, given the stage of her SFN. It has been almost 6 years since her lyme, and the time frame of an antibiotic killing the lyme in its early stages before it became worse is over.
