- On sleep: She recommends adding melatonin and glycine.
- On the diet: She says I am doing very well. She also says I should know quickly if I've erred. Try small amounts of various things and see if the next morning I feel like a truck rolled over me. Also, the antifungal should be keeping the yeast at bay; this level of experimentation is not likely to give me systemic/chronic candidiasis. This is very good news.
- On how to proceed with treatment: I get a new prescription alongside the Biaxin. I don't remember what the name is. She usually adds it six weeks in. Have I mentioned this is getting expensive?
- On results: It's going to take a while before we know whether the Lyme treatment is working. If my foot pain didn't fluctuate but stayed steady, we could expect to see improvement within this first six weeks, but since it jumps all over the map, this will take longer.
- And just out of the blue: she wants me to get allergy-tested for food allergies and for serotonin. I go in for that on the 9th. Sadly, this kills off my sleep meds for the next ten days! I'm supposed to be antihistamine-free for ten days before the test. I've left a note asking her to phone in a prescription for two weeks of Ambien. I am NOT going without sleep meds, not while I'm on Biaxin.

I'm just curious about the serotonin test. Is that actually a serotonin allergy test? I've been told there's no way to measure serotonin levels or anything else having to do with serotonin without a spinal tap, and even then it's unreliable.
