So my pain is just as bad as it was before I started getting treatment.

I switched out antibiotics about five weeks ago. This whole time I thought I was herxing, but now I'm thinking the antibiotics I'm no are not working.

I'm thinning this because my right testicle is starting to hurt again. Which makes me think the bacteria is just moving back in and setting up shop.

What do you think???

Ugh. My husband got the testicular pain. It comes whether he's Herxing or flaring. If you are on abx, you are more likely to be herxing. It can be hard to judge. And symptoms come and go.

Can you tell us what you switched from and to? That might help.

BTW, my husband has not had this symptom for years, so it does get better.

I'm on Amox, Doxy, Bactrim, Plaquenil. I wondering if maybe I'm herxing from Bart. My shins have been hurting and that is the first time.

I had other bart symptoms, but never shin pain.

Oh yes! I got the shin pain with Bart die-off. That is a great program. Both my husband and I would make good progress on that combo.

Thanks,that is good to know. I was starting to freak out a little and think that I wasn't actually herxing, but getting worse.
