Will I know if I am herxing? How long from start of ABX does it take to herx?

Are all herxes horrible or can you herx and not really know it?

Here is what I am feeling right now:
-fever
-like somebody tried to strangle me, neck/throat very sore, more than usual (will check with hubby to see if he tried to strangle me in my sleep, jk)
-dumber than usual, but hoping it will get gooder soon (couldn't remember how to hold a pen last night, it felt really awkward)
--more pain than usual

--------------------
Down on her knees, she wept on the floor.
This hopeless life, she wanted no more.
Dead in the mind and cold to the bone,
She opened her eyes and saw she was alone. ~Seether

Alice, thanks for your reply and even if I did snore, he would never hear it! A tornado could rip through our bedroom and he would still be sleeping, oh and snoring!

He went to the doctor for his snoring a couple of years ago and the doc asked me if he stops breathing in the night and I said "only when I am holding the pillow over his face!" Thank goodness he is our longtime family doctor...

I think I must be really lucky. I am the one who snores. Hubby says it is restful to hear me snore. If I wake up in the night to go to the bathroom sometimes he will give me a backrub so I can get right back to sleep and start snoring again so he can go to sleep.

Sounds like you are herxing. Hang in there.

Herxes varied for me

Sometimes flu
Then a really bad flu
Then just the slowness and aches and the Lyme dumbies
Then sometimes I though death was near, good news that wasn't too often.

It also varies from person to person
And for me it varied from meds to other meds

Hang in there....
