Starting Treatment for Lyme

Today I started the drug protocol for Lyme disease. My doctor consulted a Lyme disease specialist who advised him to prescribe 600 mg of Zithromax, an antibiotic, a day for me. My doctor says that I may have to take antibiotics for over a year. I am nervous about being on them for an extended period of time. Long term use is controversial because of the possibility of fungal growth and other harmful effects on the body. I feel optimistic that this antibiotic is going to help me. I have to ignore the part of my mind that tells me that I could be harming my body by taking the antibiotic. I have to reprogram my brain into thinking that if I have Lyme bacteria in my body, then, of course, an antibiotic will be good for me.
