I will make this short as possible. My lyme came out of dormancy in 3/07 after surgery. My symptoms were severe burning throughout my body. My legs were like jello. Stabbing, shooting pains mostly in the legs, but elsewhere too. So I find an llmd in Aug 2007, someone trained by Dr. Burascanno. From 8/07, until 1/09, I have been on bicillin totally, with add ons like levaquin, zithromax, and other abx. I am also on vit c IV drips and oxygen machine. throughout that time (8/07-1/09), I developed stomach problems, and my llmd took me off all meds to get rid of the yeast. S0, I have been totally off all abx for a few months now, doing only sprionul (a natural supp shown to kill the bb under the microscope), vit C, oxygen machine, and other supps. So, since beginning treatment, my burning has not come back, until 3 days ago. Now, it is not severe as before, believe me. But, I have not had it for over 1 year, and now it is back. It arrived around herx time, so I thought it was a herx, but it is lingering on now. I use to freak out when I got these symotoms, and I am totally under control. I am going to see my llmd in 5 days, but can these old symptoms be a herx (without taking abx), or is it the bb multiplying now because I am off abx? ussually my herx lasts a few days, with a severe headach. I did get the headache, but what is this?

My guess is that it's a replication cycle. Herx is when there is a build up of toxins after a big bacteria die-off.
Sixgoofykids is correct. Lyme flares up at times. It used to happen to me whenever I got really run down. Similar to herpes/cold sores. After a while my immune system would knock the lyme back into dormancy.
Since you're not on ABX I don't know how you'd have a herx. Unless the sprionul is actually working. (I'm not confident in that, however).
Good luck
