Hi Maureen and everyone else. Glad to have found you again! I am on
week 12 of the Zythromax, this is my third time around. I was going to
take it for longer this time to see if that would help and get rid of
this, but I can not keep on taking the antibiotics. I am having bad
stomach issues, and an itchy rash has developed. I don't think I am
allergic to it since it just started the last couple of weeks. I just
think my body needs a break from the drugs. My asthma is better again,
I am taking nothing. I am not sure what to do exactly. Dr Hahn things
I should just do twelve weeks anyway, but if that were true, I think
it would have worked before then in that time period. I feel I should
take it longer, but I just can't. I take probiotics for the stomach
issue, but I am developing terrible reflux that I can not get rid of.
Maurenn, I really respect your opinions. What do you think? Do you
think I should take a month off and then see how I am? I hesitate to
ask Dr. Hahn again because he will just say do the 12 weeks. I am
treating myself so my doctor is not in on the loop this time. I think
I have to take a break though. Maybe a month off and then 12 more
weeks? I am also doing the 1000 mg a week instead of the 750. I really
wanted to hold out for a couple more weeks, but I am in misery after
this last dose. And it lasts all week long now. I think I have just
ripped up my stomach so much. Anyway, sorry for the novel. I am
nervous about not taking it long enough. But then even the Doctor says
to just do the 12. Thoughts? Thanks!

Lisa
