Interested to hear from anyone who has benefited from rifampin for lyme.
Its suppose to be useful for some coinfections but is mentioned by some lyme gurus as a cyst buster.
I have been doing well on an abx combo and recently swapped in a low dose rifampin, so with roxithromycin and bicillin currently. I have tried other cyst busters like flagyl and feel awful on it but not sure if die off or just react poorly to it which is common.
From what i have read tinidazole, a cyst buster is kinder then flagyl and rifampin less sides etc. So i have been on rifampin 300mg a day for 5 days, the last two days i think i have had die off symptoms. Not really fatigue or headaches but alot more general muscle pain, back pain with knots in shoulder blades. But im tolerating it for now. I do plan to try tinidazole at a later stage.
Anyone had similar muscle pain type die off with this abx??
Cheers
