I been on antibiotics for a week now... with no big change in my symptoms at all. So, I guess I am not herxing?
I been doubting I have lyme disease for a while, despite the positive test result. So, I was hoping I herx so I know for sure it's lyme disease. No change in my symptoms at all! I get headaches every now and then, dizziness every now and then, pain every now and then, but that's how it was before I took the antibiotics.

So, please tell me! Is it just my symptoms? Why am I not herxing?!

Don't know, but not everybody herxes. I haven't in the 3 years I've been treating.

Give it a month or so at least!! Sometimes the bad herxing comes later.

I meant to say to onbam... maybe you're finished!

tutu--ugh, not quite. I mean, treatment, especially the most recent round, definitely helped a lot, but I still have some brain fog/insomnia/headaches/twitches. Hopefully another round of Biaxin/Tini gets rid of it...
