Please help. I have been on IV Rocefin 2g/day for 9 days, started herxing on day 3, prickling skin started day 6.

It starts when the abx goes in & stays until middle of the night. I wake up feeling great. The it starts all again with abx.

Have tried most things suggested on here but no relief. I am ready to stop abx. Does anyone know when the prickling will stop? If it is soon I can make it.

Sounds like you are herxing. This happens when you are killing of the spirochetes. You may have many different symptoms. Over time they will lessen. It is hard to predict how long. That depends on many factors.

This board is a great place to come for support. We have all been there, done that ........... you will make it through even though it seems like you can't. Hang in there.

My LLMD says burning skin is biotoxin die off. You need to detox aggressively. Talk to your doctor about this one.

Thank you Cherylsue and Robi! [kiss]

I feel so alone over here. My doctors don't know anything about Lyme disease and are just following what I say.

What is "detox aggressively"? I need to find a doctor I can call in America to help us.

I would not be here today without the support of you fabulous people. Big Hugs.
