my 9yo dtr has been on abx for 2 weeks and past 2 evenings she has had a fever 2 hours after abx (rocephin).
today she had some leg pain all day and after abx she could not sit still pain in legs and arms.
gave motrin and finally after she went into a warm bath she felt a little better.
sounds like a herx...right? what else can i do for her?
will try to call her doc if still in pain tomorrow but afterall, it is a holiday.
thanks

I take Epsom Salts baths as hot as I can stand it when I have muscle and joint pains.

I had such bad arm pains, it kept me up all night. I literally couldn't cry or talk it hurt so bad. It was horrible. I am on Rocephin too. I didn't try anything for my pain except a Tylenol PM. Didn't work.
They have eased up but during the day they will flare up and it is the worst throbbing, deep, horrid pain. I get them a lot in my wrists now. A new cool thing to add to the list.

Taking neurotoxin binders helped me. The lyme dies and releases neurotoxins that stay around and make one very ill.
Pectasol chelation complex from EcoNugenics has helped me alot. It is easily tolerated. It was developed for autistic children.
