Not sure what's going on. Could b herxing I guess. However these symptoms r new.

Muscle pain in triceps and shoulder area and upper legs. Was much worse yesterday. Started doing more detox and charcoal. That helped a great deal too.

Could I just b so full of toxins?

An Eds practitioner told me I had erlichia too. Any insight site here would b great.

Seeing my Llmd tomorrow that's if the weather doesn't cancel it. Thanks,vkv [Cool]

Yes, I have this as well. Mine is concentrated in my hips and upper thighs. So hard to go up and down stairs some days. I just saw my LLNP and because I was actually feeling really well and suddenly started to backslide she is going after yeast as a possibility. After I am going back on rifampin to go after bart.

I was previously on rifampin and the muscle pain increased so badly I had to go off it. She feels that probably show I need to go back there now and try it again as that is probably what is needed.

I use neurontin and lidoderm patches when its bad. I recently ordered curcumin capsules and started taking them, but have not seen any results yet.

Thanks Ellen. How long have u been on Rifampin?

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

I would blame babesia too.

Posted by Ellen101 (Member # 35432) on :

I was on rifampin several months ago along with minocycline for 2 months. When I saw my LLNP I told her I could no longer handle the pain so she took me off it and switched me to bicillin, mepron and zith and said we would have to revisit it later.

I'm about to revisit it and hope the pain won't be as bad as last time.

I hope so too.

Muscle pain is usually Babesia and deep bone pain is Bartonella. It is not uncommon to have more than one coinfection and most people end up treating for both of these two.

OK, thanks faithful [Smile]

Yeast can cause pain too.
