This line sure caught my attention. This is what I wonder every day - is this true? Did all who got out of hell here go through hell?

You also need to realize that if you have lyme, and a lot of your symptoms sound like neuro lyme, you are going to have to go through hell, likely heavy herxing, in order to clean everything out. Imagine it being like a tunnel of terror that is one way in, one way out.. you have to endure the pains as you get back out of it.

The main point I was making, based on myself, was that your first symptoms are usually your last ones to leave. In other words, if your main problem was first headaches, then anxiety, then joint pains, ..you may find that joint pains ease up first, then your anxiety dwindles, and the headaches linger the most till the end. That was the exact experience I had, and it reasons that if those were the areas that were hit the hardest before getting treatment, those would also be the areas that had the most damage, and thus would take the longest for the body to heal.
If dealing with the strong neuro stuff... youre talking about a whole range of "anything goes" type of oddities from different pains, twitches, emotional, cognitive, sensory, cardio, sexual, hormonal, digestive... basically...anything in your body since the cns is involved in everything in the body. If there was damage to the brain, meniges inflammation, etc, then anything involving the brain would be affected as it heals itself over time during treatment.
As for the full herxing non stop, flu like, I think it depends on your toxin load, your bodies ability to handle the toxins, your immune system strength, your diet, stress levels, ..etc, etc.
Does it mean everyone has to have full tilt herxes 24-7 to get better.. I dont think so. But it wouldnt suprise me if you have the same symptoms reappear that you started with once on treatment as you flush that stuff out of your system.
