I am screaming in pain!

I just went up on my oral ABX and

I also just started to take 2 zith.

I can't walk or move and the pain is so horrific.

i can't handle this anymore.

I can't think either. I was making a doctor's appointment today. They told me to come in at 9:30 and I wrote down 10:30.

Now I have no idea what time I am suppossed to be at the doctor appt. So I have to call them again to check!

I was away and forgot to bring more NEurontin. So I don't know if that is causing the pain. I was on the highest dose of 3600 mg per day, now, I am not sure if I can jump up to that again, or if I should start slow.

Can I do a parasite treatment at the same time as everything else?

My LLMD says that I am not doing well, and should be on I.V. treatment. I am now looking for a doctor here to help me with it and to work along with my LLMD because he is far away.

A herx is basically an increase in Lyme disease symptoms. So if pain is one of your symptoms, then a herx would be increased pain.

I would NOT add anything while you are herxing.

Neurontin usually helps with pain a lot... get back on it as soon as you can.
