It has been quite some time since I have been on the Forum, but I did want to add a post to encourage others. I tested positive for mycoplasm and started antibiotic treatment in June of 2015. I made small, steady improvements and then I felt I lost some ground in the spring of 2016. I asked my doctor if we could switch things up to see if it would make any difference. She changed my prescription from Minocycline MTW twice a day to Doxycycline twice a day every day. What a difference. I have had steady improvement since June when the change was made. My mycoplasm # was 4.09 in June of 2015 and I was recently tested again and the test came back at 2.85. The “road back” is definitely not downhill coasting, but I definitely feel it is in the right direction.

So we decided to give it a try. I’m so happy to stumble on Road Back Foundation. I have been on it since July, so using it we thought was herx, which it was not. But I have to say HOORAY !!!! It felt so good when my doc run blood work and said yes we are seeing a change… I know in everything it takes time, and Im sticking to it. Making sure I do everything by the book, still having some pains, and swelling etc. But at least is getting better. Thanking everyone who helped me, Maz, PhilC and others. You all really give advice and try to help along and let me know what was in store. So far everything is ok, my doc said as soon as this virus and zika is over I should feel little better. In terms of the symptoms of it. My improvement is slow but getting there….
