What symptoms are you experiencing? What meds are you taking?

i'm on a low dose of amoxcillian and it's day eight of taking it. my LLMD put me on a low dose becuase i'm still nursing.

i've gotten a return of many of my early symptoms- migranes, body tensing- almost like a migrane in my back/neck, ear rininging and today i was totally dizzy and had tremors all over... espcially in the legs and arms. my limbs also felt very weak.

i waited in the ER for five hours but just left because i felt like i was getting better... of course now that i'm home i'm worried to be here... perhpas i have some anxiety/panic too.

I should mention that I don't 100% know that i have lyme- my symptoms fit and i've had a bunch of tests all of which are normal- however i think that's what has me worried... what if it's something else?

my LLMD suspects lyme but we're still waiting on some tests and of course the standard lyme test they do here was negative.

you're probably herxing.. try to relax. my mother has had similar symptoms too.. things she hasn't had going on so much in yrs.

the meds are working.. let them do their job. you'll feel crappy BEFORE you feel better.. and it takes time depending on how

bad you're infection is. feel better soon and be very patient. best wishes..

Thanks Sonicbmx,

I managed to get some rest but still feel much the same. the anxiety is better since it seems that i'm fine otherwise.

i've been 'sick' for 7 months before i started meds and was on the same doese of abx without much side-effects... but i guess with the 2nd dose the timing is right... i really didn't think i'd herx this bad tho.

I'm going to try to get a hold of my LLMD today since I'm sure he'll be interested in my possible herxing.
