I am guessing that I am in the middle of a severe Herx. Im on week 3.5 of IM Bicillin + Zithro+ Plaquenil. Today I woke up feeling great. Better than I have in months. By 5 pm I was completely wiped out, Im not running a fever, but I feel like I have a 105! Fever "flashes", spots in vision, and a general extreme feeling of poopiness. This seems to be on schedule according to what I have heard about this combo. Severe herx at week 4. right on schedule. Im about to give myself another shot. Should I refrain? I dont think I can take feeling worse than this. I havent felt this intensely bad since i had pneumonia as a kid. - oddly, My neuro symptoms are not acting up too horribly. Can someone please tell me that this is a good sign? I feel like Im going to friggin die.....

Yup, My week 4 was hell, too. (week 5 was SOOO much better).
I would only back off some on the meds if it's truely just getting to be too much... and esp. if you're losing sleep, say. Then back up to full dosage when things smooth out some.
That sounds like a potent combo there. Good luck!
