I don't feel anything better or worse i feel like I have been just drinking water. My head feels just a little weird. I have not taken medicine in 15 years so I was expecting something.

I have kind of been wondering the same thing. My daughter has been on Ketek since the end of March, then her LLMD added Mepron, and now injections of Rocephin and the only thing she has now that she didn't have when she started is horrible pressure behind her eyes and her ears hurt, no to mention a very sore butt!!! She did have a couple of days when her knees hurt but nothing else has changed, she still feels like she is going to die any time now and is VERY frustrated nothing has happened good or bad in the way she feels.
One thing that can cause lack of progress is hypercoagulation or ISAC. The reason is simple....fibrin. Fibrin is a thick, sticky substance that will coat the inside of your viens. Fibrin not only prevents oxygen and nutrients from penetrating the vessel walls, but it can prevent the ABX too.
If the ABX can't penetrate, they can't get into your tissues either to kill anything.
There is much info on my website on hypercoagulation. Read the info and then talk to your doctor. If you have the ISAC form of hypercoagulation, treatment can be simple and the difference can be tremendous in bringing on a herx. http://cure2003.conforums.com/index.cgi

You don't necessarily need to herx to get better. I know that from experience and from my LLMD. You also may not have been on meds long enough to see an improvement, especially if you have babesia.

My LLMD would say & write until you feel better and I just never experienced better on abx.
My goodness, I can't believe you're taking all those abx and only having tiny headaches. That's great. You could be one of the lucky ones that gets better and better with abx.
