about once a week I' seem to be herxing with my head stuff....like a building pressure in my sinus' and anxiety in that area too. Had a great week without it..now took one rifampin to try to add it in yesterday, and wham here it is again today...

also have that feeling where you touch or scrape your face and you can still 'feel' it a little while later?

anyway, seems to be a full head...lightheaded herx..that builds and then releases, builds and then releases...about once a week...

anyone know which coinfection would have such a quick herx time, or is it from the added rifampin? I"ve been on mino and malarone for two weeks without difficulty...and feeling pretty good...so that's why I added in the rifampin. We thought I may have some bart left...

is this a side effect of rifampin? feeling like crap,and full head sensation or a herx/

anyone?

I did mino with rifampin for a few months and I can tell you that is one tough combo so maybe its just the meds.

joe, I feel like my brain is vibrating...I can't stand it...I took a day of rifampin last week and this happened, so my llmd said just to do the mino and malarone for a week, then try to add the rifampin again...\

I just did yesterday..and here I go again today with this vibrating, full feeling again in the front of my head....ears ringing etc...and my eyes are bothering me..with running etc...

I can't stand it~ I think i can't tolerate rifampin...

today my eyes are all watery like crazy..and my front of my head feels all full. no pain..just full...feel a little lightheaded as well....

is this bart? I'm taking mino and malarone..and just took one of rifampin..decided i couldn't tolerate that..and stopped day before yesterday.....

why, if I'm on mino /malarone is this still occurring once a week, adn seems to be focused around my eyes and behind my eyes?

anyone?

I did mino for probably 8 months and I never really adjusted to it.People on here say they got adjusted to it but I struggled the whole time I was on it.It went straight to my head and felt like an 8 month herx.It also takes a few days to clear out of your system.Add in rifampin and wow,I know been there done that.
