Today was the 4th day i've spent in bed.

I always feel better later in the day, but i still can't imagine working or anything. I went to my first LLMD apt. yesterday after 2 weeks of doxy only made things worse.

He switched me to amoxicillin, and already one day into it i don't feel like i'm going to explode, but i'm still too tired to do anything, even make breakfast.

How long have you guys been laid up for? how quickly did you recover and at least get back to work.

It depends on a lot of things. How long you have been sick, how sick you are, etc. I was laid up for months.

I've been infected for less than a year at most. I was bitten last summer and treated for a month. I'd been symptom free until early this month.

So a year if it's a relapse ... only a few weeks if it's a new infection.

i have been off work since september....no where near going back to work.......again it depends how long you have been sick.......took me a long time to get to the point where i just couldnt keep going anymore......i guess its going to take a long time to get back to where i can keep going......

It sounds like you've caught it early, so hopefully it will be short for you. Nonetheless, the herxes might still be tough.

the thing that gets me is it seems i have neuro symptoms. Arms are coolllddd and weak. Like ice through my veins.

But i'm in bed because i'm BEAT. i get up to use the bathroom and i feel like i've spent every ounce of energy i've got.

Other than that, nothing. No joint problems, no fever at all. Some slight random muscle twitching here and there.

Mine wasn't caught early. I've been laid up for 10 years.
