I am back here after a repreive of two and 1/2 full years. I am in the process of elimination as to whether my lyme is back.
I have a few symptoms that are old ones but a new one that is totally unbearable, NERVE PAIN.
It's bodywide but I think I have it under control with Pain meds right now. That is until today.
It's only my third day on Ceftin, flagyl and biaxin and I woke up with a God awful pain down my Right leg. I would venture to say it's sciatica since I had it while treating lyme once before.
I don't have pain in my buttocks though, just my upper thigh down. Anyone have any ideas??
I do know that flagyl can have a ton of side effects and I think it's an evil drug. The up side is I think it works.
My primary Dr. told me she had a patient on flagyl once who got foot drop and never recovered from it.
The problem I'm having is because I took my first dose of antibiotics a few days ago, is this a side effect or a symptom of lyme??????
Thanks,
Barb

Hmmmm.. be sure to call your LLMD and tell them. Probably a herx.. but if you're wrong, that's not good!
Maybe you could try (with dr's approval) taking the Ceftin and Biaxin only... to see if it's the flagyl. Of course, that STILL won't tell you everything you need to know!!
