I started taking B12 on sunday and by tuesday my butt all the way down the back of my legs hurt so much worse, also today my thighs.

They feel like they need to be stretched but they hurt worse when I bend over and stretch them.

Or is it probably just a herx.

I've been feeling pretty good until 2 days ago.

On Iv doxy, rifampin which I just started taking the whole dose once a day instead of twice, and zith. Also just started taking 600mg instead of 300mg of artimisinin 2 days on 1 day off.

I'm only on 500mcg of oral B12, then a bunch of other supplements that I've been fine with.

Doubtful it's the B12 since you've increased other things that are more likely to trigger herxing and the pain in the legs could very well be a herx...

it's been 2 weeks since I increased the art and about 2 1/2 since I changed the rifampin.

but I hope it is a herx. Thanks
