I mentioned on the board months ago that I may have had Lyme disease since I was a child, many anons thought the same thing. Lots of NIH studies done on lyme with HcQ and Ivermectin to help with the disease (both reported with good results). Too many studies to post. Many confirmations of what helps since lyme starts with a parasitic infection. Too mamy studies and articles to list. What I’ve found ivermectin didnt help me with the result on arthritis but others have reported HCQ exceptional with the reduced pain. Ive ordered HCQ to try it. My frontline doctor thought I should take HCQ first but I opted for ivermectin. Im sharing only to let anons know that this might help. We should work with doctors if you dont have a good doctor try Frontline.
Doctors say it can take 6-12 weeks to see a benefit. Frontline doctor said many patients reported reduced arthritis pain while taking HCQ. I’m not giving amy medical advice, just looking for answers

“Unbelievable! I’ve suffered with Lyme Disease for several years. 2 days ago I began taking Hydroxychloroquine for treatment of Covid-19 exposure. The first morning after I had taken 400 mg I felt fantastic! Even my neck pain was completely gone and I felt awake and alive! How can I get HCQ to treat Lyme? What’s the proper dose and length of treatment? Feels so good! Glad I got exposed to Covid19 (sniffles) and decided to do the HCQ treatment! Now I know it’s treating Lyme! Wow!”

HCQ is a DMARD used to treat inflammatory types of arthritis, such as rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis.(all arthritis is an inflammatory diease so I dont understand why they limit it to these two arthritis types—pharma I guess)
HCQ comes in 200 mg tablets. The usual dose is between one and two tablets per day (200 to 400 mg per day). If you are taking two tablets a day you can take them all at once or divide them up: one in the morning and one in the evening. The maximum amount of HCQ you can take is based on your body weight. HCQ is often used with other drugs, such as methotrexate (MTX) and/or sulfasalazine (SSZ), in combination therapy.
