Topic: no herx in 2 months

I have been pulsing abx for 3 months. I got a small herx the first month but nothing the next 2. I am planning on going on IV next week. Was wondering if anybody else had this happen and if I should go on IV to get a herx or maybe IV not needed. I feel good. I just have ear ringing 24/7 that drives me crazy!!!!I have a little brain confusion but this could be from other things. I have had 2 MRI of the brain and it shows some kind of spot.

Hi poodlegirl-
Just wanted to let you know of my recent experience. I had not had a good herx in about 3 months, so my LLMD said to see what wuold happen in another three and we might be able to discontinue treatment if I was truly no longer herxing (been in treatment for a couple of years now!). Anyway, I had no herx for a total of six months, my LLMD reluctantly let me stop to see what would happen and I felt great for about three weeks (probably just because I was rid of the side effects of the antibiotics!) Then I began to feel awful again and my LLMD suggested that perhaps I had been having no herx because the antibiotic combo I was on just was not effective for those few months. I was not herxing becuase I was not defeating any of those buggers. So, just something to think about...it is a tricky thing to determine whether you are "cured" becuase of no herx or whether your treatment is temporarily ineffective and giving you no herx. Hope that helps a bit, though I know I really did not answer anything for you!

poodlegirl....It might be important to know what meds you're taking and how you're pulsing them. Could be your dosage isn't high enough.

Can you give us more info?
