Topic: Feel terrible right after Rocephin treatment

I just finished a 60 treatment on Monday - 3g Rocephin IV once a day, mixed in with oral azythromyicin and Ceftin a few times a week, and Tyndimax for the last 2 weeks of the treatment. I felt pretty good last week and was looking forward to my treatment ending. Tyndimax ended last Friday, Rocephin ended Monday.
I woke up Sunday morning and felt terrible! And I still feel terrible today. My glands are all swollen and tender, I have a sore throat, the fatigue is back, and my headaches are starting to come back.
How is it possible to be on a treatment for that long and feel terrible before the last day of your treatment? I'm confused...anyone have a similar experience?
Thanks for your feedback.

The swollen glands make me think bartonella. The meds you were on won't do much for that coinfection.

Sure could be bartonella...but if it's not... Lyme can take way longer than 60 days to "cure."

Hang in there!
