Biaxin; regimen

[cjsmith]

Yes Biaxin causes stomach upset. Yay.
Yes Biaxin causes (or exacerbates) insomnia. Sleep aids, coming right up.

Regimen, for those who like to point and laugh:
Morning - 5 pills vitamin D3, 1 injection vitamin B12 (also inject kitty with insulin)
8am - 500mg Biaxin, with food
2pm (as far from the Biaxin as possible) - probiotic
8pm - 500mg Biaxin, with food (also give kitty insulin and 1/2 tablet Enalapril for blood pressure)
8pm 1x/week - fluconazole
Bedtime - hormones, sleeping pill

There's no way to keep this organized without little pill minders, so I'm carrying those again. I'm really not supposed to be this old yet. I was supposed to get a decade or two of middle age.

Man, CJ, I hope this turns out to be The Answer for you. I know this regimen has got to be hellish - and then to be doing yeast elimination diet on top of that? Yikes. I have to essentially follow the yeast elimination thing too, as it is very close to what I have to eat to maintain my gestational diabetes. Sometimes, it really sucks. I'm sorry.

I was glad to see that Cyd pointed you in the direction of the Healing Naturally By Bee website. At least on that site, there are some practical suggestions for foods that you *can* eat.

Do keep us updated. I know many of us out here are rooting for you and hoping for the best possible result out of all this. HANG IN THERE!

Thank you! Yeah, it's a heck of a diet, isn't it? I went to the grocery store last night and picked up a lot of meat, cheese, and vegetables. We'll see what I can make of them without, oh, SAUCES.

I didn't get very far in the Bee website because of its "Western medicine is an evil conspiracy" flavor. Western medicine isn't perfect, but that kind of thing ticks me off. I'll go back and see if I can get to the food suggestions.

Thanks!! :-)
