I am officially going to say that I think I am going crazy!!
I have been on treatment for a month now (400 mg doxy) daily. I actually thought I was feeling ok. My sharp pains in my head lessend and I had some energy.
Now, Good Lord! ITS BACK!! Stiff neck, shaking, jerking, sharp pains in head, chest pain. I also am having alot of tingling in both hands that I never had before. (It feels like its raining on my hands). My daily fever is back.
So heres the scary part, everything seems like a dream. My memory is so bad now. I get in the car and start driving and then forget where I was going. I wake up in the morning and feel like I got really intoxicated and everything is a blue, does that make sense?
I am VERY irritable! I am biting peoples heads off and get all worked up for nothing.
I am so scared that I am losing my mind. I am crying just thinking about it.
I am getting tested today for Bart,babs,and ech.

I guess I need to read on herxing again. I was under the impression that I would be puking my brains out not feeling like this.

Hi Jaimie
I know it won't help but I was right were You are at when I first came to this board. I think in 2000.
Doxy will get in your brain. I think all in all that was the worst for me and still is. Please don't go away like I did.Stick around ,vent rant,rave,cry,it is so much easier too have the help here than go it alone.
If You ever get short with people here don't think twice of it,it is part of the illness.
Feel free too look me up anytime,I know how You feel. appleseed

Doxy did some very bad things to me. THe head pressure, anxiety, and most of all darkness it gave me was unbearable. I was not liking how I was feeling on it. I knew something was wrong.

Don't worry, my padded room is well worn in at this point myself.
On doxy for two months now, hit the second monthly major mental herx last week, only lost one friend so that's progress!! haaa... Okay, so I'm a sarcastic *******, sue me.
I also at the same time started levaquin for bart that did not go well... at all. I told a friend something while going through that and now she's not talking to me anymore, ooops... I think I begged her to kill me or something along those lines.
I've been wanting to post more here, but my brain is seriously such a mess from the Bart and Lyme, I've felt it better to not open my mouth and show how I'm really doing.
I'm better in this moment, but wait 5 mins, then I'll be sobbing, wait 5 more, and then I'll bite your leg.

jaime,
sorry you're going thru a severe herx from the sounds of it.
have you been keeping track on days like this what specific symptoms START and when they STOP so you have some background of the time issues.
definitely the NEURO lyme acting up for you. if it were the other way around, we'd have to have our own PADDED ROOM FACTORY because we couldn't keep up with the demand for them!
just remember going thru this is the start of your lyme journey to REMISSION; your and our mutual goal!! hang in there, and rant anytime you need to ok.

Thank you all for your encouraging words!! I do feel a little better. Yesterday was AWFUL!!(totally OT) And to add fuel to the fire, I had to end contact with my ex boyfriend. That was really upsetting me as well. It had to be done though. The less stress, the better.
So, and update....I went to my pcp yesterday to get a coninfections test. The lab they use is covered under my plan. I was trying to save the 700.00. Well, he wouldnt draw my blood for it because he said that the tests arent that reliable and they are treated with Doxy which I am on now.
He then decided to do another WB at LabCorp. He said I would be better after a month of Doxy (Yea, I got to tell him that was BS) and he didnt think its lyme. So, I let him do the test. I know LC isnt as good as Igenx but whatever.
So, I left there crying. My question is what is everyone on for their co-inf? Are you all on Doxy them something else for the Lyme?
I am so glad I dont drink anymore!!
