How do you know what is going on

I am unable to discern the difference.

Like I had a reaction to Bactrim, Tachycardia and Anxiety. But there a ton of cases on the Med boards of people reporting Tachycardia and Anxiety who take the stuff for bladder infections.

If you investigate the side effects of the majority of the lyme abx they all have weird side effects. Are these just people who are undiagnosed herxing?

I've thought that myself Losferwrds. A lot of people who rate meds seem to be having what we call here a herx reaction.

I wonder if they have some undiagnosed TBI and the abx brings out symptoms or a herx.

I'm in the same boat you are.

It seems all the meds I have say the same things in their "symptoms of severe reaction" blurbs--

shortness of breath, fever, body/muscle aches, etc. are all signs of s serious reaction and you should stop taking the meds and call your doctor or pharmacist.

yet those are pretty much the same symptoms I have anyway, so how do I tell if they're just my symptoms, a herx, or a reaction?

It really drives me nuts!
