I am currently being treated with Doxy 100mg twice a day while I await my Igenex results.
For the last 1 week or so, my neuro symptoms have worsened significantly. I have the following: 1. Numbness and tingling at different parts of body at different times. 2. Muscle twitching which I can see. 3. Pins and needles sometimes. 4. Pain in forearm. 5. Neck stiffness and pain when I bend my neck down.
I couldn't help but notice that these symptoms worsened ever since I started taking Doxy. Could these be caused by the Doxy killing the germs? Or could it be that Doxy at these dosages is not effective and the disease is spreading?
Thanks!!

yes, it could be a herx

course. your dosage is too low so could be getting worse due to the disease.
Doxy dosage is minimum 200mg 2X day.

For all of those to hit you at once, I'd say it's a herx. Doxy is one of those that get into the blood-brain-barrier so be prepared for lots of neuro symptoms!
