Hi guys so im currently on Doxy daily, Mycobutin every other day and Zithromax 2x per week.
3 days ago I developed a new symptom, a buzzing sensation in my calves/knee whenever I activate those muscles i.e. whenever I walk/move around. Nothing happens when still. Is this likely a herx from my infections or nerve damage/side effect from the drugs? I'm thinking the former, not the latter? If it was a drug side effect you would think I would have more than just that one area buzzing when activated? I should mention I normally suffer from periodic muscle twitches and buzzing sensations if I hit a body part hard on something or clap my hands together hard. Thanks!

I had weird sensations like that when I was on abx. I would chalk it up to them, but you could also look for other symptoms from the drugs on web md. Mine turned out not to be nerve damage, the meds were doing something though.
Periodic muscle twitches and buzzing sensations are common with lyme and treatment for lyme. Hang in there and let your LLMD know the next visit.
