I've been feeling o.k.the past few months, and lately the symptons are

coming back. Is that normal or am I herxing?My mouth feels numb,tongue and

right hand feels numb and weird. I hope I'm not getting another attack??? [confused]

Could be that you're herxing. What meds are you on?

When did you begin treatment? Keep a journal so next time you're feeling crummy you can check and see if it's because you're in the 3-5 wk spirochete cycle.

Hope you're feeling better soon!! [group hug]

Tutu's advice about keeping a journal really does help so we can start seeing if we see any patterns.

As far as feeling like you are getting worse, I too have been backsliding, even though I was still on treatment.

Yes, it could be a herx, but my LLMD says it also can happen when a co-infection perhaps wasn't addressed or slipped through the cracks.

I would definitely talk to your doctor about this since sometimes they will either swap meds or change things around...or your dr. may be able to atleast get a feel for if you are just herxing like crazy.

Good luck to you and keep us posted.

I'm relapsing too after some overexertion. My LLMD suggested I stop the doxy because it has done all it can do. I've been on it since December. He wants me to try just plaquenil to target possible babesia.
