Through a chat line Eurolyme I am in touch with several people who have become extremely sick with lyme Disease some from France but mainly from the UK.

I would recommend you check out Burrascano Guidelines found on the ILADS website or in files on Eurolyme or on Lyme disease Action website all links on my blog.

In Burrascano guidelines he recommends 6-8 weeks course of antibiotics at quite a high dose. this is to be sure of catching the full cycle of replication as although the infection replicates 24 hourly it can go into a cyst form and then reactivate 4 weekly.

Your doctor sounds very understanding most if they treat at all generally give only a couple of weeks low dose antibiotics.

This is one illness not to take chances with. I was ill for 6 1/2 years infact still not completely recovered as it took 4 years to diagnose me and three years of antibiotics to get to where I am now.

There will be many many people who do not realise their health problems could be caused by Borrelia.

Good luck in treating your infection adequately so that you do not fall into this awful chronic illness.

Simon’s bad back may have been exacerbated by the tension of the concentration, but it was brought on (as I predicted, I might smart-arsingly add) by his insistence on loading 20 x 40kg bags of gravel into the trailer single-handedly during the 7 minutes remaining before Bricodépôt closed for lunch.

I would have expected your firm to do the same. Mind you, he didn’t cement it back into place after the emptying. In our case, this did not matter at all, as the cement seemed to be only necessary for holding it in place while earth was being put over it again. If yours is underground, I guess the same would be true. If the cap is on the surface, then applying a little mortar (bought ready mixed from a DIY store) to make a seal should be possible?

Good luck!
