There are quite a few warnings associated with Ketek -- I don't know what else you are on, but you might need to do some checking with your pharmacist. See http://www.rxlist.com/cgi/generic3/ketek_ad.htm

Always a good idea to let the doc know what's up.

somnolence is commonly seen in CNS lyme of long duration.

you need intensive IV therapy with a cephalosporin preferrably.

For the past 3 days I have been sleeping about 20 hours a day. I have never had this symptom in all the 10 years I have been dealing with this.
Anyone else experience this?
I started Ketek on the 31st other than that nothing is new. I am exhausted and weak. Help!

I spent Easter weekend and the following Monday going from the couch to my bed with pitstops to the bathroom in between. Sometimes I just get slammed with fatigue that will last for 24 - 36 hours.

Your body needs rest. Listen to it. Not much else you can do.

I have even fallen asleep sitting upright in a chair with a cup of tea in my hand.

I've had the experience you describe with IV rocephin, minocycline, and flagyl--and always on the first go round, when they were hitting Lyme that had not been reached before. Especially minocycline. I couldn't walk, couldn't eat, just lay in bed feeling like this would never end.

i don't care about food or water. I just want my pillow. my kids now take care of themselves. i hate this. slept 24 hours yesterday. i also feel so weak and i don't want to do anything. i should want to pay my electric bill before they turn it off, but I don't care until it's a crisis.

confused about why i need so much sleep.

If you haven't set up an automatic withdrawl for your utility bills, please consider doing so. Hubby & I have done this for 5+ years & love it.
