in the afternoon. This is getting old fast. I have the numb head and chest pains everyday. Yes I have
had my heart checked and they say it's fine.
What next?

I have been in a herx for 7 weeks now doing IV ABX everyday and still going strong....

oh gosh I don't want to hear that. I only
started feeling this way once I started taking
meds. I say every night okay I want to die, is
that how you feel? What a bummer. My dr's are
even still running tests to make sure there isn't
more to it.

Stefanie, Which antibiotic are you on? Some give more intense or unique side effects.
You also might want to do a "search" on here about your abx. You might find others who have had similar experiences.
Also, have you started any new herbs or supplements lately? Some of those can be pretty potent and give you a herx or just negative side effects.
Good luck! Erica

stefanie,
keep in mind that your body is processing all sorts of bacteria die-off, not just Lyme. All the good flora bacteria in your digetive track is being destroyed as well giving off potential toxins.
Keep yeast in check, it can add to symptoms if not controlled.

It's good your docs are looking into other things. Not every bad thing that happens is a Herx. Sometimes it's med side effects, other times it can be another illness. Good diagnostics are important for weird symptoms.
That being said, I herxed for 3 months in a row, leaving me literally in bed for the whole 3 months, except for bathroom trips.
Detox is very important. I was not able to hold down a lot of water and food at that time, so I ended up building up lots of toxins. I'm doing better about detoxing, and it makes my herxes much less severe.
