I have been on 500mg ceftin 2x a day for 2 weeks now. At around day 3-4 felt a bit worse and then a few days later I was feeling better than I have felt in a very long time. I had so much energy It was wonderful. This too, lasted 3-4 day. Now my joint pain is coming back and I feel like little sensations (like tiny burns from a 4th of july sparkler) through out my body. This is new. What the hell is going on. My LLMD just called yesterday to check in to see how i was doing and I was doing great. now I'm not sure whats going on. help

I'm sorry I have no idea. Hope somebody has an answer for you though.

Herxes come and go and can bring all kinds of symptoms. Sounds like you herxed on day 4 .. very typical...then felt better. Then herxed again.

If you feel that you are having a reaction to the med, call your pharmacist or dr .. but chances are this is another herx.

I def don't think it's a reaction to the meds. I think I expected too much too soon [Smile]

I have chronic lyme so I need a combo of meds for the coinfections. If they fond the lyme early you may need meds for a shorter time. However if you've had it longer where it's gotten into your joints...you will have a few good days a then bad. Basically it means its killing off the bad bacteria. I've been on med's now 4 wks and going through the " herx" effect. It takes time and I truely believe that the med's have helped. I was at the point where it was tough to walk. You should also take probiotics B 12...but check with your doc!!

thank you all. Symptoms started 2 years ago after a flu shot. Strange. It's all just been so confusing. Best of luck to ALL of us.

I always have a burst before a herx. Thats how I know I am doing something. On the cpnhelp.org site they talk about it and the theory is that you have killed a bunch of bugs and it frees up more atp for energy for you. Then the die off happens along with it apoptosis(herx) and your body has to clean it up. I found the next ones hit a little faster.
Both cpn and lyme utilize atp which means less energy for you.
