this is so wierd for me. i have txed alot and never had this happen. i am already on buhner tea...4 herbs. been on it a year.
i just started clind-1200mg a day. it took me a few days to work up nd i am herxing with fatigues and pain...but the floaters are incredible. all my other floaters were white and either squiggly-kete shaped or little circles...bleb like.
these are black or black striped and oval or round and they go fast...not float like the others
i keep jerking my head cuz i think a bee or a fly is coming at me and then i realize its the floater...i have to be really careful driving and i am limited it
any one else ever have this? i can't believe something new is happening to me

Just curious - why 1200mg/day? I always take the least amount of med I need for effective treatment, and for me, that amount of clindamycin is 150-300mg/day.
When I first started, I did 150mg every six hours, then cut back after a month when I herxed.
I had floaters prior to taking clinda, so for me, clinda doesn't appear to have brought them on.
Drinking mangosteen juice is the only remedy that has ended all my Lyme eye symptoms, including floaters.
