What do most people experience with herxing?

Since starting my antibiotics and taking everything the way I am supposed to I havn't noticed any horible changes or any super positive changes either. The only big thing is that I am twitching 20x as much as I was before! Is this like a part of herxing? It's pretty annoying.

And should I be feeling an extreme difference because so far I don't?

Also do detox baths do anything without peroxide? I am out lol.

Not everyone herxes! If your body is detoxing well on it's own and you are being good at taking meds and sticking to any diet you may be following, it's possible that you won't herx much.

With that being said - yes, twitching can most definitely be a part of herxing!

I know that the detox baths used to really help calm my twitches, give it a try without the peroxide to see if it helps any. Besides, as Tickled said- it's calming!!!

When I herx my neck gets intense with pain...everything aches more, I feel more fluish and miserable. Migraines...but the neck in is insane for me

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel off and on, and I'm not on any meds. Just on herbals at this time.

I thought this was what was going on, but not sure. I kept saying to people for years, about a week or two a month, I'd say I feel like a truck hit me. Hmmmm, yep, it's the lyme.

And, sleepless, the neck pain is another biggy for me. I just realized two nights ago the pain is in my upper spine, not the 'neck' area, per say. The spinal area connecting to my head. Pain like nothing I've known, that doesn't go away. I find myself crying the pain is so relentless. Nothing otc touches it. bleh!

I was looking up info on the Boswellia, thinking this could be helpful. Found this on it:

Boswellia interact not only with medicines, but also with some herbs and dietary supplements. Better NOT mix the herb together with the following:

Supplements that may have anticancer properties (mistletoe - Viscum album)
Cholesterol-lowering supplements (such as garlic - Allium sativum)
Antifungal agents (such as tea tree oil - Melaleuca alternifolia)
Supplements used to treat joint diseases (such as glucosamine or chondroitin)
Use the herb with caution and with your doctor’s supervising.

I wanted to include with the your suggestion.

This shows me how important it is to research everything before taking something.

Very good point In-A-Cocoon-Now, shows the importance of being under a good naturapath.

I'm not sure when I herx either, exactly. At time so feel wonderful (this is rare). And the next day I feel like crap. My symptoms return, even ones I haven't had for awhile. I did notice that lemon water really helps when I feel crappy. So, now gotta stock up on one more thing! :/

Hi.  Can someone please provide an LLMD in NYC?  Thank you very much and God bless you all!

Hi Rummer!

I see this is your first post on our forum: Welcome! I hope you will find your time here very helpful

May I suggest you start a new topic named 'looking for LLMD in NYC'. Since this is a thread about another subject, our members might oversee your yesterday message.

Also, it would be best to enable your email address so that we can pm you with the information you asked for. We are not supposed to put dr's names on the forum. You can do that by going to My Profile, then choose 'Edit Profile' and choose 'Show my Email Address'.

I don't know if you had the chance to go through the thread on top of the Lyme page? 'New to Lyme?.... Start here!'?

We recommend everyone to go through the information that is published there: symptom lists, coinfections, detoxing, interesting links, etc etc.
