Depends. Some are, some aren't. You will be able to tell yourself. The herxes are the worst, so after about three weeks, one might hit, and that will give you a clue. However, some people do not herx on doxy.

I work on a regular basis but I also have a very fortunate job as an editor where I can kind of make my own hours as long as I meet my deadlines, and I can do the majority of my work from home. I know I could NEVER EVER do a standard kind of 9 to 5 job as sick as I am right now. Jess.

I just started zithro as a temp rx, until I can get a hold of my doc. I work a 9 to 5 that is very physical. I already miss alot of work, I wasn't sure if I should give my work a heads up. [Smile]

I work 40 hours week. I wouldn't if I didn't have to though.

I work. Its not easy some days, but it is also good to keep moving and keep busy if possible. You may be perfectly fine to work. I would not say anything unless it got to the point you were unable to.
