In 2003 my LYME doctor told me that the best drug for Lyme disease was IVERMECTIN.
I said, "So give it to me."
He replied, "Can't"
I asked why and he answered,
"Politics."
So I said, a bit sarcastically, "Well, write the name down for me, so that if and when the "POLITICS" change, I'll know to ask for it.
Oh, he was wise, as he wrote "STROMECTAL"
He figured I wouldn't remember because I had severe Lyme encephalitis.
Then I didn't think any more of it, since I trusted this Lyme expert doctor and he couldn't use it.
But I realized Stromectal is Ivermectin in 2010.
And there was only one doctor prescribing it. He had a huge, long waiting list and was thousands of miles from me.
But I did get Ivermectin under the radar and took it with Albendazole, this combo is said to be a good one.
Every time I was in remission from Lyme, I'd get another tick bite and new infections.
Now, disabled but still fighting.
On and off AU since January 2021. I need my breaks away. Compassion and tolerance are not the same. Be compassionate, do not be tolerant.
Wait. You’d “get a new tick bite”? Help. Wouldn’t avoiding ticks be#1 on the list if you had Lyme?
