Is this a herx? A reaction to the medication?

I'm doing lots of liver support - milk thistle, smilax, sam-e, chlorella.

I have this feeling that being treated for two months at this dose has brought out bart. Does that sound possible?

I'm so tired of the brain fog and dizziness. I think I may call my LLMD on Monday and ask him to switch me to IM Bicillin. I can't handle it anymore.

Most likely a herx. It might be wiser to ask him to let you back off the meds a bit rather than switch.

That's reassuring. Thanks for the responses.

My CD57 at my last LLMD visit a couple of weeks ago was a 57, so I'm definitely in full-on Lyme relapse mode.

Is it weird that transient muscle pain actually makes me happy? Dizziness, vertigo, headaches, brain fog, leg and hand weakness - all my neuro symptoms just freak me out. No matter how many years and positive Lyme tests and symptoms and signs I get between me and my erroneous MS diagnosis, I carry the trauma of it around with me where ever I go. Muscle and joint pain just seem "so Lyme" that they are a welcome diversion from the neuro-stuff, which is the bulk of the BS I deal with.

Somewhere on this forum someone posted "Never believe you have something that cannot be cured." I tell myself that everyday.

It's so hard to tell. Sounds like herxing, but I was on meds for babs and slid backwards after 2 mos. I think the meds brought out bart and company. I know they helped with babs though.

Doc put me on different meds and I feel better (for bart/myco).
