I think I have read that diflucan could be considered a cyst buster. So, I am wondering, if you herx from diflucan is it from yeast or lyme?
I also left a moldy house about a month ago. I wonder if diflucan could cause a die off reaction because of previous mold exposure?

I asked a similar question awhile back when I started diflucan. The responses were mixed... It mainly hits yeast, maybe a cyst buster, and maybe hits parasites.
I'm not sure if it hit cysts but I definitely feel that it hits parasites. I'm now on herbs for parasites and am herxing in a similar way. My LLMD didn't confirm it's action against parasites either. It really knocked me on my butt so it was working!

my LLMD also said Diflucan can help as a cyst buster.
I've been having weekly cyclical GI issues with gas/diarrhea for past two months. BABS has been fight back hard in same time-frame bursting RBCs almost every other day.
So at last LLMD visit two weeks ago we dropped Bactrim, doubled Mepron to 2 tsp 2x/day, and a week later added Diflucan 200mg/day in case of yeast.
Mepron increase is causing extreme fatigue. Jury still out after 1 week with Diflucan.

Wow, I didn't know it was a cyst buster. Right on. It does hit parasites too, and since babs is a parasite, it's great for that as well.
I was on mepron before. It wasn't what caused me fatigue though. For me it was yeast.
Gmb, maybe the mepron is killing more bugs for you, and/or killing more good bacteria in your digestive system and causing the yeast to flare (just guessing)?
I get really sleepy from the yeast die off and have to nap (regular thing for me).

This is my second round with mepron. R-1 was may 2011 thru Sept 2011, not long enough.
started R-2 late FEB 2012. After doubling dose two weeks ago I have a hard time staying awake at desk in am... never been this bad since starting abx in Marh 2010.
I have a hard time differentiating all these overlapping symptoms. I've doubled up in my VSL3 and Floristor to be safe. the GI issues are cyclical as well, maybe more from die-off.
I'm also on IV rocephin 2g 2x/day 4 days on 3 off, and zith.
my LLMD has been holding off Tindamax till i'm thru with mepron... tough roller coster, but see lots of improvements
