I'm curious what most of you experience as your first symptom when you are on a abx break or trying to go off abx?
When I first got the Lyme it was classic flu like but now every time I go off abx, about 4 days later my head gets these strange fleeting pressures in my head throughout the day but not a truly legit headache. Next or about the same time seems to be the heart arrythmia going crazy.
I'm very curious if this is absolutely normal/standard for a Lyme patient.

My LLMD has said that typically when you stop abx you might slip a little and then level off.
A few months ago I stopped full time abx and after a few days pinpricks, migrating pains, twitching etc.. came back but after about 10 days all symptoms went away and have pretty much stayed away. I take herbs for maintenance.
Have you given yourself time when symptoms come back or have you been jumping right back on abx?
Do you take any herbs such as Cowden for maintenance?
The heart arrythmia must be disturbing. You could always ask your doctor what he/she thinks.
Good luck!
