Stromectol has shown to be mildly effective in relief of the 'crawlies'. Unfortunately, the amounts of Stromectol for the time-frame necessary to maintain relief, would be very costly and many insurance programs do not cover these types of medications.
Ivermectin, on the other hand, is the animal version of this same anti-parasitic and can be purchased fairly inexpensively at the local feed store. Protocols vary among patients, but 1cc (or 1ml) per hundred weight, taken orally (you can mix it with juice or water), seems to provide fairly quick relief. Some report success by taking the above dosage once every three days and, as symptoms lessen, titrate back to a once per week maintenence schedule, using the same dosage stated above. Some report using Ivermectin topically to help clear up the lesions.
Antibiotics are known to garner some success in some patients. But, unless you are seeing a Lyme Literate MD, you will most likely be given a script for a few weeks, if you're lucky. Some physicians are quick to say that this illness is no more than a subset of Lyme Disease: Unknown at this juncture. But, many who have MgD also test positive for Lyme Disease. Aggressive, long-term antibiotic therapy has turned many a life around, especially in chronic Lyme patients. Some MgD patients suspect that small dosage antibiotic treatment just seems to exacerbate the symptoms and simply make matters worse. As well, some who HAVE experienced relief from small dosage antibiotic treatments, usually have their symptoms return when the treatment is stopped.
