I went off all abx about a 5 weeks ago, to take a break and just to see. I was off all for about 3 weeks. then i came down with a flare of UC 2 weeks later. so went on flagyl and Cipro for that... Its been 16 days on this... My gut is better and I have not had any of my usual Herx like fatigue or muscle pain. I still have some joint pain but that is always there. Is this a good sign that I haven't herxed on this combo after a 3 week break?
I had been on almost constant abx for 18 months with one other short break about a year ago. After which I did Herx.
I am a little scared to stop the flagyl and Cipro my gut seems to react when I go off all abx it's like it's dependent. But I am already 2 days longer than prescribed for my gut. Florastor has helped.
