Thanks Tracy!

I had tick bites, bulls eye rash, negative Lyme test, long term staph aureus, oral antibiotics 12 months total. Travel abroad neuro said, MG - not enough pain and joint dysfunction for Lyme disease...Horrendous myasthenic side effects from my prescribed antibiotics. What was the antibiotic that made you feel better? Just out of interest
