Yes, that was my most severe doxy/mino herx symptom, and I gather that's pretty common. Generally mino is a little less brutal than doxy, but both cross the blood brain barrier.
My docs have both recommended pulsing off the drug when it starts approaching unbearable, because that kind of encephalitis can be pretty dangerous.

On my second pulse at full dose, but have yet to experience the same head symptoms. Maybe in a day or two it will hit.

Yes, it sounds like a herx.
VV, do you have the Parkinson head-bob/twitching?
This increased in me with increased brain pressure while taking mino.

No, I don't. My twitching in order of frequency: toes (mostly right side) thigh/buttocks (mostly right side) fingers (only lasts for 20 seconds at a time)

Twitching usually gets worse with other symptoms (often cognitive + weakness).
