So I've been sick for two years. Tested positive for Lyme this past October. Have been on ABX ever since. I've slightly improved from having about 3-4 days a week where I couldn't function to 1-2 bad days. Now I'm off ABX so I can get retested in a few weeks and I am feeling significantly better. Not ready to go to the gym yet, but my energy levels are up and I'm back to working full-time this week. Is this normal? Is this good?

Well, indistrial amounts of ABX can make a toxic build in many people from everything its killing, good and bad. Posts on this the last year. ABX makes quite a few people feel lousy in general, even after the herx improves. If lyme is not gone, it takes more than a few days to feel it come back. Weeks or months. Enjoy feeling better and I hope it stays!

Yes some people will feel better for a while after stopping abx. You just need to pay attention to your body to make sure you don't go backwards too much. Focus on detoxing and eating well while your off them.

Yes, as astroman said - abx can be toxic too, so taking a break can surely make you feel better. However, lyme goes in cycles, so this may be the easy cycle for you at the moment, and Lyme may creep back - so as garden peace said, pay close attention to your symptoms. But if your immune system is indeed strong enough, it may keep the lyme at bay - hope this is the case with you!!

Well, it was too good to last. Feeling bad again the last couple of days. Thanks for the feedback guys.
