It wasnt BAD after I took it, maybe a little dizzy and definately sleepy, very very slight neckache..but that was yesterday at 4:00 p.m.
Today? I have the lovely old forehead migraine going on, neck pain and a high fever.
Just wondering how fast some of you all get hit.
AND this isnt LA, yet. Im doing CR and working my way up to LA. ( MULTIPLE sensititives)

When we were doing the 1.2 MU LA every 2.5 days, the herx usually hit after about 18 hours, and lasted until the next shot -- so continous herxing. The LLMD switched us to 2 shots on the same day, every 5 days, which meant a herx within about 6 hours, lasting 2-3 days (at first), but with a 2-3 day no-herx period. Much prefer that schedule. The LA stays in the system for 5 days.
The herx was not radical, but it was wearing. Mostly headache, achiness, and intense fatigue.
You're set up with the epipen in case of allergic reaction, yes?
Good luck with the bicillin. Hope things start going a little easier for everyone chez vous.

A number of people have reported an onset of herx-like symptoms about twenty-four to twenty-eight hours after the shot. That has been my experience. David

I actually seemed to herx a few hours after the shot. Felt like I was coming down with the flu and had to go to sleep.

Minoucat I did not get set up with epipen, My llmd did not even mention this. Is that for potential serum sickness? pattiecake

The epipen is for allergic reaction.
COL...I actually feel it almost immediately...for a very short time...then..the next day 24 to 36 hours afterwards.
Yes...pretty continuous pain I get my shots 2.4 mu LA on Mondays and Fridays.
Hope your life has gotten SOMEWHAT better.

trout, did your doc give you an epipen? Is this something I should ask for? pattiecake

Thanks you guys for your replies.
Yes- I have an epipen
Posted by troutscout (Member # 3121) on :
Yes...in fact...I just checked mine...it has expired...so I better order two more.
We prefer to have two of them. (ONe for the vehicle...one for the home.)
