Hello All,
I am wondering...I "think" me AND my daughter have lyme or something so similar it would be unbelieveable. We got an initial dx prescription for 10 days. A blessing happened this week and we got another one fron another doctor for 20 more days. YAY!

At any rate, my question is...every few days or so I get a creepy crawly yucky feeling like something is crawling on me...all over, hair included. Is this a lyme disease symptom?????

Also, what exactly is herxing (sp)...what does it make you do???

Hmmm, just realized...this prescription is for only 10 days...sigh

It can be I get that feeling once in awhile. Herxing is basically the same symptoms you have, at least thats how I understand it. hope this helps

Herx

creeply crawly could be just about anything from parasites to Morgellon's to Lyme to bartonella to ..??

Well...it is not "numbness"...not fever, chills, headache...it feels EXACTLY like something is crawling on me...and there I am scratching and jumping and looking and swiping...just like some kind of dope fiend crazy person walking down the street talking to myself...THIS IS MADNESS!

its OK we all do it...
i went to the ER with crawling sand coming off my skin, the nurse could feel the sand and said it was dust, wipe off, 2 min later more dust ?... morgellons was mentioned, no fever.
 - god bless on the relief. they had me stop all pills, i told them i had lyme and home i go... Just as well, what could they do ?

I had an awful crawling feeling. Very much like what you describe. I was constantly swatting at my legs, and arms. I had the sensation all over my body, and in my ears. It was maddening. Lots of itching and digging. When I treated Bart with Cipro, these symptoms subsided big time. They still come back to vivit, but no where near as intense. Bart isn't gone yet, so who knows.

Cannot say what the cause is, but I calmed down a lot when I started treating Bart.
