I thought I was doing good and yesterday my eyes started burning, then all night long my legs were burning real bad and also very heavy. Still happening now.

I started flagyl 4 days ago and am also on zithromax. I did not take the meds yesterday because of the burning.

This has really got me spooked, this was never one of my symptoms and I assumed I was on my way to getting better.

Has anyone experienced this so suddenly and if so did it go away?

Thanks for any info,
Scott

Sounds like a herx to me, but you may want to check with your LLMD to relieve your stress.

Thanks Monica,

I'm praying that it is a herx and it will end soon.

I'll try and tough it out until tomorrow and see if it gets better.

I wish I knew what this burning feeling is though. Everyone here thinks I'm losing it but it really burns.

Sorry for the whining but it helps to write it out.

Best Of Luck To All,
Scott

JUST STARTED ON AN ALL fLAGYL PROTOCOL UNTIL ZITHRO IS ADDED IN 30 DAYS.

MY EYES HAVE BEEN BURNING --LIKE ON FIRE--RED AND WEEPY AND WEAK LOOKING.

I AM ASSUMING IT IS A FLAGYL HERX--HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH EYES ALL ALONG BUT THE BURNING IS NEW.

Hi,

You aren't crazy.
Skin Burning is real.
That is my primary symtom.
I burn all over.
I would encourage you to take warm epson salt baths.
take Alpha Lipoic Acid.

I think Falgyl made me burn more.
This could be be norma- hard to distinquish time.
Peace,Belva .

peace,
