dont know what to do

Lyme and its coinfections are just so baffling.  A lot of times neck and shoulder pain are caused by tight muscles.  Have you tried magnesium?  I swear by it as every time I would go to the doctor with stiff neck, aching back, she always told me to take magnesium (one time I even got a shot) and it helps tremendously.  Lyme strips the body of magnesium and it is a crucial mineral for our muscles. 

It could be your lyme nodes are swollen with is common with lyme and co-inf.  Make sure you drink a lot of water with lemon and try epsom salt bath and it could be  your body is not detoxifying correctly and unable to get rid of the toxins. 

Have you ever read this article?  It is very helpful.

Hope you feel better today. 

LOL! The MOds are chiming in on this, sorry! I hope it's not overwhelming in any way!

I wanted to add that not only could it be a herx, but it could be the normal fluctuations of the infection. Many have symptoms that will increase during one week or so every 3- 5 weeks. This is likely when the bacteria is active in the blood, thus releasing more toxins. This is why detoxing works to ease our symptoms so well. All or most of the bacteria isn't hiding in the tissues at this point and is much more easily reached by the detoxing methods mentioned here and in the "New to Lyme" thread.

The soreness in the groin and under your arm pits is likely caused by more swollen lymph nodes. Have you ever had a lymph massage? Or done oil pulling? You can look both of those up online to understand more. You need to get the lymph fluid moving.

The lymph glands filter the blood, so it makes sense that they can actually get 'clogged' with so much dead bacteria in our blood from time to time. I know mine stayed swollen for the longest of times! If you get the lymph fluid moving again, the swelling should go down as well.

Yes, this disease, like some other diseases, come and go as flares, though you will probably feel a bit ill between flares. Doxy takes awhile to work. It took me about four months of Mino. to notice a difference.

Are you taking Magnesium Malate? Sorry; I didn't read the entire thread.
