Hi,

I am taking the Biaxin/Plaquenil combo and I am experiencing the same feelings I did when I was taking the Tetracycline.

I thought as you moved on to different abx, things got better with re: to Herxing????

It is difficult to walk, but I do it. Fatigue is back, yet I move around. All the pains, tingling, numb/heavy legs feeling are back!

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM!

Could someone please come by my house and shoot me? [Frown]

i was told that you herx at each change in abx.

when i switched from doxy to cedax....i had a different kind of herx.

Plaquinil can be an intense drug.I allows for deeper penitration of the other drug you are taking. How much are you taking? I had to back off a bit on Plaquinil to ease the intensity.

Hi John,

I am taking 500mgs of biaxin and 200mgs of plaq.

Twice per day!

I almost always herx when I swicth abx.

Once on the same abx for awhile eventually the intensity and duration of the herx decrease for me .

Hopefully it will for you too.

Best wishes

Hi guys!

I am also herxing again. Right now, I am sitting here at the computer with sunglasses on because of the sensitivity to light. I also have ear pain and very bad headache. Also pain in arches of feet. [dizzy]

Friday night and doing NOTHING!

Rob,

Me too! I was laying on the couch with a blanket over my head and my lovely cat on top of me! LOL! That is the highlight of my friday evening. But I don't mind because I know and believe that someday soon I will have more good days then bad. [lol]

Hi Nuke,

I am happy you have a cat to lie on top of you, I have nothing, but at this point for company's sake, I would welcome an alligator.
