I had them on Amox. Strange isn't it?
I'm looking at Lyme & Babs, so far. I don't know if any others.
They took at least a month after stopping the ABX to go away. They're still there a little.
PCP said didn't look like allergy. She had no clue what caused them.
I forgot to ask LLMD about it (big surprise). I'll talk to him in 10 days or so. I'll try to remember to ask which bug caused them.
Nothing worse happened besides Herx.

Hi, I also had these but mine were chest neck back and part of the top of my stomach.They went away when I began diflucan.Diflucan is both an antibiotic and antifungal I believe. I also have heard bacteria like to go into the epildermal layers of the body.I actually dont know if thats a fact but sounds logical.Lots of strange body stuff can happen when you begin to have a mass die off.Hang in there,RG

If you're still breathing I think you will be okay. So while you're at it-take a deep breath, just breathe-at least that's what I do when I'm afraid I am having an allergic reaction- I tell myself-well if I can breath I must be okay.
Deep inhale through the nose, feel those lungs fill with oxygen rich air, slow exhale through the mouth-while looking at a beautiful sunset.
It'll get easier- or at least you'll get a bit more used to being in the Twilight Zone.
