Horrible anxiety, flu like off and on fatigue is brutal and now I'm getting dizzy. Feeling weird random body pain. On 1 abx and an 1 herb. Starting a second abx next week.
Oh wait....I've felt like this for 3 years now never mind. I guess its a 3 year herx LOL

Glad you have a sense of humor and hope it gets better.
Hang in there!!

Sense of humor? Nah I wasn't trying to be funny but glad you liked it. I was really upset earlier.
Even before starting new meds I was sick, feeling absolutely awful mentally and physically. So I don't even know how to tell if its herx or not. This is gonna be a hell of a trial moving forward to really know what's working and not.

Lyme treatment is definitely all about trial and error!
Keep the faith!

I'm feeling alot more nauseous this time. Could be from abx.

OMG, you used an LOL? Great!
Antibiotics should be taken after a meal and you should not lay down for 30 minutes. Nice and slow, one day at a time. Let us know how we can help you.
I spent a whole summer in bed, looking out the window. I found the San Diego Zoo Live Cams and the elephants became my best friends; https://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/live-cams
Hope you feel better💚

Thank you Bonnie LOL.
The last few years summers have been awful, I want to actually enjoy this coming summer for once.
Posted by Mountainsky (Member # 51857) on :
I've been doing all those things too, yes.
I've been on this med before and never had nausea. Maybe part of a herx.

If you feel worse then yes it is a herx. Keep pushing through it. It's tough but just know you are hitting it.
Posted by Mountainsky (Member # 51857) on :
I really hope and pray it is one bcb. It's been a very long road I just want things to start finally moving in the right direction and get some positive outcomes.

All kinds of great links on Tincup’s Maryland Lyme website.
Thankyou Bonnie, I looked at it last night.
Posted by Mountainsky (Member # 51857) on :
I now have a Lyme rash under my armpit. Took a pic and sent it to my doctor and she confirmed it.
Praying this herx ends soon. Horrible migraine now, pain in my jaw, ears, throat, sweating at night. I refuse to miss work but the days are getting more rough.
I'm happy to know it is a herx that means the meds are hitting abd killing stuff but I hope it's a true herx and I can start to see some gradual improvement moving on, it was never like that before for me. I am being cautiously optimistic.
I just want a normal life. I'm scared everyday.

Take that as a sign you are hitting it.
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Oh joy!! That's a good sign, though not exactly a "fun" one.
Lyme treatment takes a long time.

False alarm not a herx. Just a normal thing my body now permanently does. 3 year herx and counting. It was nice to have some hope while it lasted though
