I just don't think this is a herx, as i've been off ALL drugs for two days and I feel just as bad as I did before and will most likely continue to feel this way tomorrow and then nexy day.

My LLMD is not avail by phone and Im 5 hours away and the only way I can communicate with him is via his nurse who is only there wednesdays. cant do another two days like this.

I've been in bed for 4 weeks now. I wont leave the house due to my anxiety attacks. I tried the malarone went off for a week and tried art for a week and there is no change, except an addition of air hunger. Im depressed and really really depressed daily, rocky boat symptoms, burning nerve pain, and terrible sleep...etc

Yes it all started or got worse with the Malarone, but it could be the bart acting up too.

He wants me to add Cipro to the amox, biaxin, plaq, and art but didnt want me to last week, I assume worrying about the herx that never happened.

Im considering adding it now.

Do you think I gave it enough time off the meds?

I just have this feeling its the Bart. What do you think? I cant do one more day like this.

Sounds more like babs to me.. esp the rocky boat thing and insomnia.

I think you're still herxing.

--drinking lots of water too?

Hey there [Smile] Yes, its like all I do is drink water, take vitamins, eat healthy. I feel like a robot.

Tonight, two days off the art i feel less depressed but manic like every nerve feels On or something. I have racing thoughts and can't seem to calm down, but at least I dont want to shoot myself. [Wink]

Here is the cycle I've notived:

week 1

m air hunger/manic rocky boat began around this time and MAJOR anxiety attacks- 3-4 perday
t manic/headaches/migraines
w
th depression/migraines
fr depression terrible
sat off malarone
sun

second week off malarone rocky boat remained

mon- terrible GI symptoms
tues- ovarian cyst for the first time very painful
wed-
t
f
s
s

monday- began art aur hunger manic
tuesday- air hunger manic
wed- depression - intense sym
thurs- depression- same
friday- horrible depression- intense symptoms that all get worse after eating

sat- off art same depression
sunday- woke feeling hot and depressed but depression lifted and manic began

Im still rocky boating, dizzy, but i have energy and dont feel depressed.

What pattern do you see?

Could it be the air hunger and depression is the art/malarone herx, and the other symptoms are the bart?

I don't know about Babs and Malarone.

But I know Barts. Now, out of Tavanic since 6 weeks it's coming back full force, the main symptoms being hyper agitated, manic and anxiety. Almost no sleep (2-4 hours) because of anxiety.

LLMD gave me melatonin (2mg) and it helped immensely last night.
