I'm so sorry! Do you want to share more about what is going on so we can support you?

Are you treating parasites? It's the full moon and parasites are more active, so if you're flaring up during a full moon, I would consider taking something for parasites.
Hang in there, and keep treating!

Back pain, stomach pain, tremor, stiffness, sorry don't mean to complain

So sorry Saved. I have had the same for days now and probably feeling the same way. I keep telling myself that it will get better and just taking one moment at a time.
I was not bedridden before the treatment and I am now. A bit disconcerning but I know that it will bring me to the health and life I want back. So I will embrace the soft pillows for now because I know I will complain about the job and crowded buses once again when I am well.
Think of only beautiful things, take a deep breathe and watch a few episode of I love Lucy!

Great advice, ann! I tried to think of it as childbirth. I had to go thru the pain to get to the happy.
That is said not to minimize your pain in any way, saved. It's just that we know the pain and understand what you're going thru.
I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. Hope you get a break soon.

Does your LLMD allow you to cut back on abx if the herxing gets too bad?

I CANT TAKE ANYMORE!!! My exact words yesterday. Honestly I knew I was dying and cried all day. Just began doxy only been two days and my lyme symptoms are so much worse plus the no sleep and nausea..Can't eat so weak. Is it the meds or herx? I think its to early to herx.
I have no advice but I sure know what you mean..
hugs, phyl

SAVED, " I can't take it anymore!" I seem to be saying that at least 5 days per week also. I've been on Doxy for almost two months with no results. Muscles getting weaker each day, the brain even hurts. The waiting for an LLMD seems forever. Neck can't hold up head for very long. Only way to sleep is with a cocktail of sleeping aids each nite. I know this is all no help to you, but just so you know you are not alone!

saved10,
Sorry you are having such a tough time.
How long have you been on treatment or this particular treatment?
Do you have an LLMD and have you been able to talk to them about how you are feeling? Usually they will give you something to help with the herxes, if that is what you are experiencing - or tell you to change or back off on your meds for a while.
Know that whatever the situation is, people are there to help you and offer advice.
