Topic: Herx Length?

I'm sure this has been asked dozens of times, and that everyone's different, but I'm just curious - how long have people's herx reactions lasted?

I started IV Rocephin last Thursday, and starting yesterday - holy smokes! I have never experienced a reaction like this. My joints are awful, it looks like a nightly low-grade fever is becoming a pattern and the headache continues, etc.

I'm very hopeful that all this is a good sign!

I have had some herx reactions last a day or two; I have also experienced herxes that lasted for essentially the entire duration of a round of antibiotics (given a month at a time, approximately).

I have herxed for weeks on end; not fun, but always felt better after! Good luck!

I have been on herx for months non stop and I knew I was herxing but I was fighting for my life both times 2 1/2 years than from the car accident again when in treatment for babesia .I had it for very long.You need to treat long enough and with very strong combo each infection .

It depends on how long you have had it and how many more infections you have , parasites, chemicals and metals , detox issues etc.

Try to detox and clean your gut.Take probiotics for sure .

As long as I am taking antibiotics, pharmaceuticals or herbal, I am herxing. Detox should help. Good luck.
