MRI Results: I have a new enhancing (active) leision in my upper cervical spine. Looks bad. My old lesions in the thoracic spine still there but not active.

My neuro says it supports his original dx of MS but that I could have both Lyme and MS since my western Blot was positive. My lyme doc says she doesn't know for sure but could be a new lyme lesion. Says she has never had this happen to a patient of hers.

What confuses me is why would a NEW lyme lesion appear 5 weeks after literally bombing my body with IV ABX?

Unless my neuro is right and it is MS on top of Lyme or a severe herx reaction that caused NEW damage.

Either way a New lesion in your CNS isn't good news.

Can anyone point me to a reputable source to find out if herxing can actually be bad for your body? My sister read something that said herxing is not necessarily a good thing and it can actually cause severe damage.

Thanks!
