I have a question regarding flaring/Flares.

When you flare is that an indication that meds need to be changed? Is a flare when your body is fighting against the lyme?

I get the herxing part and the whole four week flare in symptoms as this happens to me like clock work.

Any input would be great.

4 week flare up, when it comes to Lyme, is just the 4 week life cycle of lyme.

So it reappears and if you are still on Doxy/ceftin etc you will have a dieoff.

Flare-ups for me typically happen when I travel or get really tired or worn down.

I can sense the flareup so i usually double my antioxidants (juice plus)

Canefan,
thanks for the info. Does the ramping up of the antioxidants help with the flare?

Do you think during a flare taking more lemon/water, activated charcoal will help?

Janice,

Yes, drink that lemon water. It does help me with herxes.
