Hi,

Do you continue to herx as you get well through the healing process?

If you change from one ABX to another while getting better, do you have to herx all over again, or do you just get better??????

I just wanted to know...

Thanks,

Hi,

During my first year and a half of treatment, I just felt bad all the time. When I switched to Tetracycline, I finally herxed. I was then treated for Babs and got a lot better. I started having herxes in cycles for the first time.

I continue to work and have a pretty high pressure job requiring overtime about once a month. I definitely work my medication so that there's no way I'll be herxing during planned overtime.

I'll never take Bicillin IM since there's no way you can "control" herxing with it. It's in your system and that's it.

So, I guess the answer is, yes. With the right medication, you'll herx throughout treatment. I've learned that I can stop and start meds at short intervals to allow myself to still have a life.

Take care,

Corgilla

As in Herxing in general, some do and some don't.
