So Ive been taking mepron, Biaxin, CSA, and A-L complex for about 3 weeks now. I felt better a little at first mood wise and less fatigue. But this week after comming out of fighting a head cold I'm super dizzy, feels like an elephant is sitting on my chest, and I have no energy.
Am I herxing or is there another issue going on?

TB,

Its most likely a herx. My first time on Mepron I had a real tough time during weeks 4 thru 9 before things improved. Hang in there.

Ok last attempt before this gets buried. So I don't know if I have babs or Bart but I have something. I need opinions on this symptom flare. I have heavy chest/ air hunger, chest pain, anxiety type feeling, muscle pain and crazy dizzyness and fatigue.
Now do you guys think that the Biaxin csa and a-l complex are hitting Bart or is the mepron Biaxin csa and a-l hitting babs or both?

Babs. All of these symptoms were Babs herxing for me.

With your program, it is both. But the Babs symptoms are masking the Bart ones.

When I did a similar program, the Bart symptoms showed up after the Babs cleared.

Or, you could be experiencing toxicity from the drugs...

for me babs herxes were the worst I ever experience in life. Worse than borrelia and candida together!

So it could be herxing. And it's usually bad. Take binders!!!
