Can you get better without a herx?

I had a huge attack of symptoms a week before I went back on abx...this is when I started feeling like I couldn't walk, the floor moving, etc...it is getting better...but I wouldn't say I've had a herx yet. There have been days where I've felt worse and today and yesterday my legs haven't really been shaky at all. This only makes me nervous because of the whole MS/Lyme debate. I'm afraid it's just a 'flare' that is now partially subsiding.

Is it even possible to notice a difference after one week of treatment? (Biaxin and Flagyl)

My first combo of meds were biaxin and something else(sorry..it was awhile ago). I don't think I herxed at all on it.(miss that month)

Then I went on tetracycline and diflucan...the fun began.

Then on mepron/zith. Herxes were severe and often the first 6 weeks. Now I am in my 14 month of it and I can almost pinpoint to the day when I will herx. Very clear cycles. I think some medicine doesn't hit it.

Hang in there!!!!

I did'nt start to improve till after my first herx but it was a doozy I have babs and clindy and quinine kicked my butt, was about the worst herx I've had so far other than rifampin. 

Ive been treating this since december 2007 when I was finally diagnosed by doctor # 8 but have had lyme since 1992.

it is a daily struggle some meds have helped tremendously other have done nothing its just finding the right one for you.

for me it was zithromyacin and flagyl zith really cleared up the brain fog. still continue to see improvements from flagyl and diflucan for yeast has done wonders for me too.
