It is neuropathy. When did you start the mepron and zith...if recently it could be a herx. I had severe burning all over my body 12 weeks ago..rated a 10 on my pain scale. Now mine is more of a 4 but it is still there and hurts. By the way I HATE neuropathy [Smile]

Hi there

Yep, I get it all the time and I hope you don't have it as long as I have. It's going on a good 10 years for me, it comes and goes and is usually on one whole side of my body.

But at least it's not every day now, I mean not as bad every day. [Smile]

I don't know what to tell you for a remedy as I have found nothing that works for this one, sorry. [Frown]

in my 8th week on mepron/zith. wonder why i am getting it now though, never had this before. is this from lyme or a co-infection? does this usually go away with treatment? i am getting worried i will never get better if new symptoms are showing up now.

Hi

Symptoms change all the time Maureen so try not to get stressed over it.

I know that's easy to say but really, you have to be prepared for a lot of changes. Hang in there and just tell yourself it will pass, cause it will. [Smile]

Hi
It will get better so do not worry. Try to be patient...LOL...that is what everyone tells me but I am far from patient. I should say focus on the fact that it will go away with treatment...hang in there.

thanks...... i'll try to stay positive here. it is hard when you keep trying to eliminate symptoms and here the bugs throw new ones at you! I know what you mean though, I have to be patient and look forward to the day when i have no symptoms.
