:confused: Well I have been on antibiotics for the last 2 months .

Thankfully alot of my symptoms are under control or gone .

But since the antibiotc treatment i have had a reacurrence in the symptoms about every 3 weeks.

The symptoms are not as bad as they were but when this happens the dizzyness is HORRIBLE!

And now I have this annoying twitch in my eyelid over my right eye!

Am i getting better ?

The antibiotics took complete care of the pins and needle feelings in my feet and hands and the burning in my back and spine .

It just seems to be new ones that pop up !

HELP??? :dizzy:

Are you only being treated for Lyme, or are you also being treated for coinfections?

My first thought was that if you're not being tested for coinfections, maybe those are cropping up now.

Well right now it is my pcm trying to help until the llmd can see me in july .

I havent been tested through IGENX but plan on doing that soon .

I have had all the symptoms of lyme and they have ruled out lupus and arthritis .

I had one positive band on my western blot which was 41 IgG I was also on doxy when i had the test done . really dont know if that could affect the test .

This really sounds like perfect HERX timing! Not to worry...it IS a good thing. [Smile]

I'm so pleased that you are overall feeling much better!

You should not be taking antibiotics when your blood is drawn for a western blot.

I think the timeframe is you should be off of them for at least 10 days...or maybe 2 weeks...someone here will verify this I'm sure.
