Diddo lymetoo- In my herxing I get lyme symptoms only they are much worse.IE: If I am tired I get way more tired.If it is a brain herx I get way more fog.

I had a dermal herx once.Broke out in a rash head to foot that lasted weeks...Not a usual symptom for me .But afterwards I had a good week

Some times I get new ones and think this is because it is creating a die off in a different part of my brain.

Herxing sucks but I know everytime I herx that means a die off and that means I am killing off more of those corkscrew freaksish invaders. [Big Grin]

Take Care

Hi,

There are all kinds of things that happen during herxes.

I've had most of the regular symptoms from thinking I'm going to have a heart attack to not being able to think well enough to form a sentence.

The three worst things that I can remember are:

1) Standing up and feeling like my legs were rubber and having to sit back down. This lasted for a couple of days.

2) Having a waking dream that I was cutting off my own arms. Popped in to my head while watching TV. Once I thought about it, there's no way anyone can cut off both of their arms. I laughed once I realized this.

3) Having skipping heartbeats with weakness. This lasted about 2 months. This really scared me and would make me nauseated as well.

Hope this helps,

Corgilla

P.S. I saw another of your posts about Igenex testing on your daughter. I don't mean to worry you but even Igenex isn't perfect. She may still have Lyme. It's a clinical diagnosis. If she has Lyme symptoms, she probably has Lyme.

My herx reaction was the worst headache/neckache I had ever had (along with the fatigue and hot/cold issues).

Now, my herxes are mostly my regular symptoms -- but a really fierce extreme of them.

BUT my first and second herxes were doozies. I experienced full body paralysis (could speak and think but couldn't move any of the rest of my body at all). Ended up in an ambulance, then the ER. In all this lasted almost 5 hours both times.

Now, I no longer have paralysis, but the tips of my fingers go numb. It's worse when I'm in the middle of a herx, like right now! Makes it hard to think or type.
