Topic: ABX break and symptoms flare

Hi,
I have been doing pretty well lately.

Been detoxing a lot, and was only on Mino 200 mg 2xday. And other supplements.

My gut started acting up so LLMD said ok for a break until my next appt. (two weeks).

Within 48 hours all my symptoms flared and I had old ones that had been long gone start to rear their ugly head! I'm so tired.

Could this be a major setback or relapse or is this my immune system kicking in to action?

Could a relapse happen that quickly!?!

Thanks,
LC

Well I can't give you an answer for your circumstances but I can share my experiences -

If I am off abx even a couple days I get sicker - meaning the lyme gets worse. I cant even pulse (5 days on 2 off) I tried and lost ground.

I am not saying that this is the case with you. I dont know.

But if I were you I would make a list of all the symptoms that appeared or reappeared after you stopped the abx. I would also add to the list all the current symptoms you have that have gotten worse.

I would try to include a percentage of how much worse they are. Then I would call your dr. and let him know that you are getting worse and about the list so he can see the degree your symptoms have increased in amount and degrees.

I would also let your dr. know that you are very concerned to take this long of a break with your symptoms flaring already.

Sorry this is the best advice I have.

Best wishes
