I've been pulseing anti-biotics for 3 weeks now, this is my 4th week, which is my off week. I fully expected that I would feel almost normal this week however I don't. I feel more like the weeks I did before I started treatment. Foggy, tired, legs weak, face twitching. What does that mean? Do the bacteria start mutiplying when you stop the meds?
During my 3 weeks of treatment on the days I took my meds I felt good, on a couple of those days I even felt great,esp. on the 3rd week. But the day after was dreadful. I would be dizzy, tired, foggy, emontional, you name it, they were bad days! Is this a typcial reaction?
My liver enzymes are elevated now, so I might have to cut back on my meds. I'm disappointed because I really want to hit them hard and quick. I just want to be normal again.
As always thanks for the help.

How are you pulsing?? Every other day, or what?
you will have a major herx every 3-5 wks... you get no breaks with Lyme treatment!
Have you been tested for babesia? If you have coinfections you can go off meds one day and feel worse. Lyme doesn't come back that fast though.

I take my meds m-w-f for 3 weeks, on 3rd week add flagyl th and f, then I'm off a week. This has been my off week, I've only treated for 3 weeks.
I've not been tested for babesia or any co-infections. I think my llmd said that at the end of 2 months if I'm not 100% we will start treating for co-infections.
