So I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this; its been my body's MO for a couple months now. I wake up in the morning feeling okay (usually). Have some pain in my legs, which is my primary ongoing symptom, but it's not too much of an inconvenience.
Fast forward to about 5pm and I'll start feeling awful. Ridiculous amounts of pain in my legs, muscle/limb twitching, and some pain in my arms/hands too. It almost feels like there's toxic blood pumped from my legs to the rest of my body (as ridiculous as that sounds).
This basically has been on repeat for a few months now, like I'm stuck in an endless loop. I'm taking Rifampin and Biaxin, but so far nothing has helped with the pain yet. I'm wondering, could this be a "herx"? Does this mean my body is somehow capable of detoxing during the night but not during the day? I've been dx with lyme and bart, but seeing as how I've been on 4 different abx without any noticeable improvement yet, I'm starting to wonder if I'm basically just hosed :(
