Common Questions and Answers about Omnicef lyme

I was only on two antibiotics at the same time, and didn't have the kind of discomfort you report.
Ask your doc what can be done, whether other treatments would be less problematic, etc.
Also I would NOT take any herbals or medicinals or anything in that frame of reference UNLESS your Lyme doc okays it as to what meds/supplements you take at what doses for how long. Herbs and pharmaceuticals are all just chemicals, and mixing them without a doc's okay is just asking for trouble.
Two out of three urine samples were positive for the Lyme bacteria. My doc prescribed omnicef about two weeks ago and as of yesterday, I started feeling awful again. He thinks its a herx. I've been on multiple abx for about 9 months. Anyway, he also started me on Flagyl today along with the omnicef. He said to start the Flagyl once the herx is over. He said if the Flagyl doesn't work then he will start IV abx. I'm a wreck.
We visited a child Neurologist last week and he immediatly said that our son did not have lyme disease since lyme disease was not in the state of GA. He also looked at our sons MRI results and said that he did not see any of the white spots that the 2 radiologists had seen. The office performed an EEG test on our son that day and we are suppoed to find the results out next Monday.
Sorry I just need to vent I suppose. I am now considered CDC positive for Lymes, but my insurance wouldn't allow anymore than 2 weeks of Omnicef when I needed at least 3 more months. In the meantime I was out of meds and now I am having sciatica, migraines, and tingling feet, and just overall very moody. Just annoying. So now new one is Amoxicillin and Biaxin so far I am tolerating it fine. I notice this Lymes affects my moods sometimes and I seem much more grouchy and tired than usual.
Hello my 12 year old was taking omnicef for a ear infection and 10 days into it she got hives all over her body and they come and go and really ichy do you think it's from the Omnicef?
I had tinutitis before I knew I had Lyme and co's. Then when I started going to an LLMD, she said that it was from BARTONELLA. It just kind of went away when I started rifampin.
Please help me as I'm supposed to start a new regimen of meds for lyme. Currently on biaxin, omnicef and about to add plaquenil.
I've read good things about it but also bad side effects.
Can anyone please help me with this. I don't want to take anything that has really bad side effects.
I'm doing well with my progress and back to work and the four week flares are starting to get better but still there.
clarithromycin) and Omnicef (gen: cefdinir), and then switched to Zithromax (gen: azithromycin) and Flagyl (gen: metronidazole). As I recall, the switch in meds was because I was having a bad reaction to treatment, but it may have been that the doc didn't realize my problem was the probiotic I was taking and not the antibiotics. I don't know.

I put myself on a yeast-free, sugar-free and grains-free diet 3 months ago -- I got a yeast infection that was giving me serious bloating and brain fog. It just seemed like Lyme, but it was yeast. It was a little hard the first couple of days, but I've adjusted to it very well.
Did your dr say why s/he put you on that diet?
Since I am breastfeeding, I cant use doxycycline but is Omnicef effective in its place? If I do have Lyme, I would like to see a Lyme literate MD as my husband and I were planning to try for our second baby this fall. I am feeling overwhelmed and scared at the prospect of Lyme and being cured since I have a child to care for and would like to have another. The info onthe Internet is making my head spin!
My LLMD is changing my antibiotic treatment to Omnicef and Biaxin for 3 more months. Mainly because he believes Flagyl was responsible for my hormone imbalance and I wasn't able to keep it down since I got the flu. Has anyone been treated with this combination? It's the first time I have hear about it, but I have taken these before for other infections and did just fine. I am hopeful since my CD57 has gone up from 23 to 56. However, my IgM results show more Lyme.
Mepron/atovaquone and Zithromax/azithromycin for Babesiosis first, then when that was extinct, Biaxin/clarithromycin and Omnicef/cefidnir for Lyme. Took 15 months, start to finish. Overt symptoms had been few, mainly tiredness but not the crushing fatigue others of us have had. Tests were initially run on the family only at my stubborn insistence, and I was dead-dog sick with the same things, Lyme and Babesiosis. Go figure.
I have had a round of Avelox a few weeks ago and recently Omnicef 600mg/day for 10 days and still have discharge. Question,
wouldn't these antibiotics be affective against NGU, Chlamydia or Gonnorrhea? Thanks for the help.
others, their results from their Western Blot(s) and ELISA.
I have had 4 negative Lyme Serology, 1 IND for a co-infection and then 4 positive bands on my western blot. I am curious to see how many people have had negative tests for the ELISA and how many bands came back positive on the WB and which bands were positive.
High dose Augmentin seemed to hold Lyme at bay, but my improvement in my rib pain was miniscule. I switched to Omnicef (easier on my gut) in June, but I don't think it did much. Two months later I started feeling worse, and then a month later, the big setback kicked in.
My P.A. told me that Rocephin is in the same family as Omnicef, so if it doesn't bring noticeable improvement, I should go back to Bicillin, which seemed to work well for me.
About 1 year ago I as given Omnicef for a bacterial infection. After 3 days of tumultuous diarrhea, I finally stopped this drug but not soon enough. Ever since then, I have had stomach problems. It first started out as irregular and often BM’s, and then progressed to
A constant gnawing or burning between my breastbone and navel in addition to erratic BM’s and gas, bloating, and just an overall lousy feeling within the digestive system.
