Hey,

Haven't posted in a while, but felt the urge since not feeling so well.

Long story short, I stopped all ABX about a month ago to detox.

About 2 weeks ago I started noticing increased symptoms popping back up again.

My Bart rashes are FULL BLOWN and I am just not together( feel horrible).

I was on constant oral and IV ABX for over a year before stopping.

I cannot believe in such a short amount of time how everything is coming back again.

I called my doc and my body obviously needs some ABX so I am waiting to hear back from him.

I have been getting real bad headaches, cold chills when my head is hot, feeling very weak and dizzy, and the Brain Fog is intense.

I cannot comprehend a single question asked and it takes a few minutes for a response out of my mouth.

My body overall from the detox feels free of toxins and chemicals ( I don't feel like I am sweating out metal), which is amazing.

Ughhh.... Why so soon, my treatment has been so aggressive over the past year.....

I can't catch a break.

The Lyme, Bart, Babs and Myco are still burning me up aparently.......

I hate TICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just about 3 years now diagnosed.... and getting worse. [Frown]

Dont really have any advice but just wanted to say that I am sorry that you are reacting so quickly being off the meds for only a month..

It really is such a crazy disease and one that really can take so much away from you....

I have been dealing with lyme off and on for 5 years..Sometimes I really don't know whether I am healing or getting worse..Some days are "normal" and some I just stare out the window wishing...

Yup, I/we all hate ticks... burn em all and give us our life back!!!!

Just an idea. Maybe sure it is not the flu. A couple of others including me got that recently and it feels aweful but can mimic some of our symptoms and be confusing..


If it is .. that might be a good thing... and explain what is happening.


IF not.. I am sooooooooooooooooooo sorry... that really sucks and must be so hard...

I hope you find some logical answer that is fixable ..

Take care..

I wish I had a "normal" day, but for me it is feel bad everyday and worse another day...

I already checked into the flu and it is not causing it, I wish!!!

Thanks for your responses.

Kreynolds, I am with you, no 'normal' days just bad and worse. I have been on abx 2 years. I am so sorry that you are feeling like crap again. Have you ever seen anything like this disease?

An incomplete detox can set many neurotoxins in circulation that often can feel worse, especially if one is allergic to some. Many are allergic to fungi/molds etc. and of course the dislodged heavy metals during pathogen die-off. May be something to look into.

Feel better soon!

Take care.

You are right, Gigi.

What kind of detox were you doing?

Sorry to hear that you are not doing well right now.

Kreynolds - sorry to hear this. I have seen the same thing happen with my children. After 8 months of babs treatment, we tried a break and the symptoms came right back. Same with the bart.

I'm sure you know this already, but I have heard (I think from Dr. B) that if the symptoms come back quickly (within a couple weeks), they are more likely to be symptoms from coinfections rather than Lyme, which takes longer to show symptoms after stopping treatment.

Hope you can knock it out this time around.

My doctor said the same thing. All of us (husband, 2 sons, me) seem to only have Lyme now. I can feel better when I'm off antibiotics, but I still have some Lyme symptoms.
