Lyme for 23 years, Rocky Mountain and bartonella for an unknown amount of time.

Rifampin and levoquin right now.

Ouch.

That is all.

Oh my!

I get it I totally do.

Had RMSF lyme and still bart.

Rifampin herx was a nightmare 10 days. Then got better.

Levaquin and rifampin woulda sent me to the nuthouse.

Hang in there. Let a close trusted friend know you may need a daily call or visit to make sure you are OK.

Rifampin herxes are rough!

I'm somewhere around 2nd to 3rd week on the combo. I had to miss a few doses to take care of my family for a bit, now it looks like I'll have to miss a few due to work emergencies.

Sucks being the boss sometimes.

Be careful with levaquin. If you have ANY tendon pain (or other pain), especially in the Achilles it can become permanent.

I'm NOT exaggerating.

Stop taking it immediately and contact your doctor.

The problems can continue even after you stop taking it because it disrupts tissue repair.

I'm off my feet right now going on two weeks. It's known for rupturing tendons.

Thanks. I'm aware.

Taking it real easy right now, not that I have much choice.

A five pound bag of sugar might as well be a bag of concrete mix.

Yes, be very careful. Both drugs are really rough. I don't envy you one bit.
