I m trying to figure out a pattern to my sx. A few weeks ago I herxs after an increased doxy dosage. After a week or so I had a few days of zero sx. Then days with very few sx, like one or two sx a day that will only last for avfew seconds...now i am like 90-95% sx free but some sx throughout day...
Why is that? is it the bacteria that was not killed during the growth cycle acting up?...is this common? Should I expect this cycle...herx, sx free, a few sx...repeat?

Anyone else? I am trying to make sense of it...? is it part of the proccess? is it what I am eating? is hard when you feel 100% for 2 days only so get sx comeback...

OH yes. This is Lyme! The roller coaster from H!!!!
You will normally herx every 3-5 wks. Chart it on a calendar for awhile to see your own pattern.
Some people herx constantly...so consider yourself lucky!! Posted by PhillyLyme (Member # 26468) on :
too, I have been keeping track after TF suggested it...
I found it weird that I would feel so crappy, then not so crappy, then better, then 100% then a tinybit crappy then repeat... :-) Awesome that I am getting 2 or 3 days with no issues and about another 4 with very minor issues

How far apart are the crappy days? They may be flares.
If they are about 7 days apart, that is a babesiosis flare. Lyme flares about every 28 days.
My babs flares lasted for 2 whole days.

Interesting about the babs cycle...not really sure...as I was keeping track of the 28 day thing...
I will see if I can get make sense of the 7 day cycle...
