Wednesday July 27th 5.40 am. today took FULL 2nd abx + full 100mg mino @ 48H dose #6 of Full abx combo of Modified Phase One
The night before the abx are due is still the most difficult to get thru.. to go to sleep is the only way, or take the abx sooner to put me out of my misery, so I go to bed.. Family here for a couple of days..

Thursday July 28th 6 pm. off abx day. after dose #6 of Full abx combo of Modified Phase One
Family still here. This morning I went quickly to 2 shops with Daughters to choose some pretty material to put over my window coverings (that are over the drapes).. I wore my cape... pulled up over my head to travel, - and worn as a Cape proper in store.. and gloves, and covered in shoes, long dress.. and NoIRs.. nobody even seemed to give a second glance.. and I wouldnt worry if they did.... the Girls took care of me and helped guide me in and out. and the material is up and looks nice.. If I want a change later I can just get some different.. there are so many really pretty materials..
I have taken Benicar Q4H.. and I am feeling good so far.. they are going home tomorrow..

Friday July 29th 6.30pm. off abx day is 24H since dose #7 of Full abx combo of Modified Phase One....
Thank you Donna... ~~~~ Daughters left today. sad..
Something I never think to report.. Pre MP and happens now, remembered today. After I wake from a sleep in the daytime, I feel to have slept myself into misery, I wake feeling emotionally miserable.. I have taken everything I can take.. probably need to begin Phase 2 abx. I cant begin Phase 2 till 48H after last dose of 2nd abx.. so I may have to take 100mg mino now to get me up out of this and to get me thru another 24H perhaps..

Hi Barb,
I hope you are feeling better. Having your girls leave must be hard. I know how I feel when our children leave after a visit! It sounds like you had some good times together and how wonderful that they helped with picking out materials and covering your drapes. You have wonderful daughters Take care, Betsy G

Meds and some food and a nights sleep helped me, without taking any more mino to get thru.. I may need to eat when I wake up..

Dear Barb,
It's so nice to have fresh pretty curtains. And an outing!!!
AND to read that you've been able to continue with the full mino and C doses!!!!!
Remember your own advice and don't go too fast, but I'm looking forward to your being ready to start Phase 2 abx!
Kathleen

Sunday July 31st 4.40am. last night @ 48H took dose #8 of Full abx combo of Modified Phase One....
Thank you Kathleen...
I decided that I had better heed my own advice as Kathleen says and take another dose of this combo to wring the last herx out of it before moving on... esp as everything is back to normal now and will be more easily assessed for sure..
Left ear continues wet.. I think I maybe a bit brighter than what I was.. still not active yet though.. looking forward to the move to Phase 2.. YAY!!

Thank you Carol ...
I thought I should note here.. about my lungs.. For years, if I laugh or cry, I cough and choke... and now with MP, till the meds and cough drops relieve it.. I have had some lung herx, but there is a way to go yet.. I can feel them all the time..

Barb,
Good 8:00 a.m. analogy in your last post!
A new chant for your new abx: Go bugs go, go bugs, go! ...across the floor and out the door! Go bugs, go! Yea Barb! 
Hugs, Donna (now in the calm before the storm)
