I have been off abx for 1 month and my symptoms are starting to return. I need some advice as my LLMD appt is not until March 26. My symptoms that have returned is stiff neck, head ache, and head pressure. My cns/neuro issues have also returned to some degree.
Migrane medicine, neck traction and muscle relaxant have not provided me any relief.
What should I do now?
My sense is that there is neurotoxins that have not cleared my body. Is it possible that there is still some toxins in my body that are causing me these increased symptoms. I have an infrared sauna and go for weekly epsom bath for detox purposes
The only thing that I take for supps is strong hmf replete for probiotics, vitamens and chlorgen
Should I contact my LLMD and ask to go back to abx? I do have 2 weeks of doxy.
I do have lightworks? should I give this a good try as I purchased this but never really did used as I was on abx at the time.
Or should I suck it up and stay off abx to see if it passes?
Any advice/comments is appreciated

My neck pain is babesia.
If you are having a return of symptoms,
Something hasn't been addressed or addressed long enough.
Make sure the doxy isn't expired if you start to take it again.
Can cause kidney damage.
Hope you get some relief and answers soon.
Hugs,

Definitely look into babesia since it all came back so quickly.
Try the lightworks! Why not?
Hope your dr can try you on some new meds.

I would call your LLMD.
To him, no news is good news. He won't know you're having a problem if you don't call him.
Sounds like you need the antibiotics again, or a different one.
Hope you feel better again soon!

Tony its probablly an active infection still. When I go off antibiotics it takes about 2-3 months for me to slide, then when I go back onto them I get worse with terrible herxing and then feel better.
This has been the cycle for about 5 years now
