Anyone ever experience increased floaters as part of a Herx reaction?

I think a temporary increase could be part of herx. some one else may have comment.

I am not sure if it can be related to a herx but I have had an increased amount since I was diagnosed.

As I mentioned in my Lyme story, I recall them coming and going over 15 years ago at a very young age.

I have a few distinct patterns that I still see regularly. I was told that they will go away in time with treatment. I hope this helps.

Thanks Mike. I've heard that treatment should resolve them too.

I just started new meds and they seem to be more apparent for some reason. It makes me wonder if Lyme toxins are being released in close proximity to my eyes (if this makes sense).
