I understand where you are coming from. I recently added tindamax to my treatment plan, and four days later I felt like I had beatin up by someone. My entire body was sore. And I had horrific headaches. The headaches felt like a helmet of fire, and sharp pains. It was awful and lasted for 5 days. But all of the sudden I woke up and the pain was gone. Today I feel much better.

I believe you are having a herx reaction as well. You can get through it. I know that it hurts, but it will be over soon.

I have not takin Flagyll. But we all are on a track to recovery with our treatment plan!!!

Hang in there!!!

Funny how the herxes don't usually hit until days 4-7.

I always think..."Oh this is nothing... bah!"

Then day 5 comes and bam! Like a truck.


Wonder what the science is behind that. The antibiotics take that many days to reach full in-blood levels(don't even know if that made sense) lol

im so mad at the world
first the 'silly'doctor that dxd me with als
im 30 years old you 'joker'......he ignored the mri that he did for me. i have white matter on my brain, tell me is that normal for a 30 year old that was previously in perfect physical shape you 'stupid head'?
i told him i hunt ever weekend, should i get tested for lyme? he says if i want.
maybe he should rule out every yhing else before dxin som=eone with clinical depression with a fatal disease. all i could think about was suicide. at least the docs at the als clinic both suspected lyme, one even saying this could be lyme, but wee dont know much about it.
they referred me to the lyme guy here, and within 10 minutes with him i was crying uncontrollably bc he has answers. he told me hes seen worse people than me. 'poo' on all those other quacks. my doc is truly a gift from god.

i was just hoping to feel more from the abx, like i said, 3 periods od new killer hip pain in week one. also knee aching on and off. my balance is worse too.

is this ok or should there be more?
my foot is still hurting but i cant say if its worse since being on abx

sorry for the rant
