Hi so I am on my third week of antibiotics. It is a month of biaxin(1000 a day) and then every other week of flagly(1000 a day) . So starting on my second week with both the biaxin and flagly in the morning and i think i had a herx reaction. both my arms went numb and my heart was pounding hard and i was dizzy and i threw up once. So I called the lyme specialist out in BC (i live in nova scotia) and he told me to stop for 2 days of antibiotics and slowly build myself up to the dosage again. So by the end of the second week i was taking both 1000 a day. but now im on the biaxin by itself. My question is i dont feel any better. all my symptoms are still there. When should i start feeling better. also im taking probitoics, vitamin b12 1200 and vitamin E 200.
Another question is that i tested for co-infections through the canadian blood test. (not igenex cause it is super expensive, even though my lyme came back super positive) The doctor in BC who speclizes in lyme told me on the phone that co-infections are a bit more accurate then the lyme test.
another question is that i had this sudden urge to run long distance like i used to today, so i started jogging and believe me i didnt make it that far. my jaw started to really hurt and my lungs were burning now my legs are really week and jello like. so like is this a herx my bodys causing from the running or just my lyme killing me.
also im 19 years old and maybe had this for about 4 years.
