I've been on my new pulsing reginmen for two weeks now. I'm definately noticing an increase in joint and muscle pain. Also my legs are feeling very shaky and weak.

Would this be a herx or possble side effects? I'm on Amox, and Zithromax 4 days and flagyl 3 days. I've been feeling like this since starting new abx.

I hurt!

I have more joint pain since adding Flagyl. My LLMD said that meant there were still bugs to be killed.

Right after my daughter started Flagyl her legs

became very sore and achy....didnt last long

though..I think it was caused by the Flagyl killing the bacteria as she had never had

this before...

Good luck

I too get very sore after Flagyl and I have always been told that it goes deep to bust the cysts. And, for me, that is a mixed blessing. I will put up with the pain any day to win this war!
