I am having a herx from mino and riphampin. I am having quivering like feeling in my chest. Along with arm jerking and several others.
Anyone have this?

Better talk to your llmd. I had to start really low with rifampin...like a crumble of a pill but when i got to regular dose it was one of my most helpful drugs
It is hard to take but very helpful. Many say this

I had a very, very difficult time with rifampin. After two months my doctor switched me to Bactrim and I am handling that much better. I had severe neck spasms and shoulder jerking. I still have these symptoms but they are now improving, often dramatically. It was hard to take, but in my case it does seem to be related to a herx reaction. But I think anytime you have severe or scary developments notifying your doctor is the best course of action.
