well i just stopped the samento, biaxin, everything.
I woke up last night with excruciating pain under my right rib. felt like muscle spasms but deep inside. I thought "oh no, ER time". i got up and walked the floor the pain was so bad.
so this morning -- diahhrea!!! I couldn't stop going...finally it's 5 pm and i think i'm done...
i don't know what's happening. a samento herx, biaxin herx, another c. difficile episode, crap....whatever...
i have my appt with the llmd tomorrow at 3. i'm so sick i don't want to drive the hour or so to get there but i have to....
i feel like curling up and dying...i really do. i hurt under my ribs so bad.
and yes, i do have broken ribs...three to be exact...just what i needed to hear this week.
3 broken ribs torn cruciate ligament in knee torn tendon around the ankle.
that fall really knocked me on my butt physically...i'm still feeling like a mac truck ran over me.
but i don't think the diahhrea is related to the fall. i think it's somehow connected to the samento....
but right now, dying sounds good.....

Im so sorry Randibear. I hope you are feeling better by the time you read this. Im jsut starting to feel better from a Zith and omni herx, after not being on any treatment for a year. It sucks. Hard to get through, I know! But you will. Just remember to take a break when your body says you need one!

Feel better soon! The Samento is an alcohol extract. It may cause a problem if you have yeast or fungus. Some people put the drops in nearly boiling water to burn the alcohol off before they drink it.
I don't know about the abx.
Best wishes to you to get through this.

So Sorry Ranidbear, Pain sucks!! Diarrhea can be a symptom of dieoff.
That's what I get a lot when i am herxing. Remember the body is trying to get rid of something, whether it's pathogens or something like the alcohol.
I used to get horrific pain with projectile vomiting and diarrhea ,until I attacked these parasites which can sit in the small intestine. Hope you feel better, Gael

What if you don't herx? Mostly I have experienced symptoms getting worse at times...so could this be herx? For example, my arm will hurt terribly, worse than ever before as it does now!!!! Could be a herx?

<<<<< Randibear >>>>>,
I am so glad that you got this all checked, I did think that soemthing was up w/ the ribs.
Did they wrap your ribs? How about ankle and knee? I'll keep prayin' Sweet Lady!
I hadn't seen this post 'til late lastnight as I couldn't get into Lyme net from Tue eve 'til late wed. Morning... can't tell if its LymeNet or our Local ISP?!
Oops Brain-drain moment, I do hope the diahreah has stopped,that can weara aperson slap out. ANd I always wondered about it being a herx symptom.
I cannot use Biaxin at all, becuase of severe diahreah issues when on it...
