Thinking I may be seeing a pattern of symptom flares. Just curious about how long your herxes last and how often they come.
Mine seem to last almost a week and from best I can figure they are almost every 4 weeks. Wondering what everyone else has experienced.
I have and am treating Lyme, Bart and Babesia.
Thanks.

When I first began treatment, I was using oral antiboitics. I herxed 3 times. They were about a month apart. The first time, I herxed for 5 days, then 3 days, then only one day.
Now, even when changing medicines, the most I herx is 1 day. I just started IV and I haven't had it but 3 days, and I haven't herxed yet.
Oh, I started medicine during my period....my doctor later said that was bad. Not to ever start a new medicine during my cycle because that made the herx'ing worse.
