I have been taking antibiotics for 5 weeks and then was stopped by my doctor. When I was on the Amoxx I had throat problems felt like i had something in my throat, I also had night sweats and broke out with a cold sore on my lip which I have never had one in my life.

Was wondering if that could have been HERX reaction...
I have been off them now for 3 weeks. I have had a Elisa done before the antibiotics and it was negative.

Is there a chance the results could of changed after the antibiotics? Could the same be said for Western Blot? I'm getting ready to have that test done next monday through IGENX.

Any Aswers greatly appreciated!

YES, big chance that being on the abx will now change the results. Look for a recent post by "seekhelp" .. He showed his test results before and after abx and they were amazingly different.

Go for it!! [Smile]
