Possible herx?

Glad to hear your twitching has gotten better.

It sounds like you are herxing - your body must be effectively detoxing so they're not as bad.

Keep it up - you're getting there!

When was it you started hitting the bart? (Sorry I cant remember)

I agree, it sounds like a herx - congrats!! LOL! It always feels goofy to say congrats to herxing and getting a diagnosis of these infections.

Now you can say that you have herxed twice!! And count yourself lucky in that you don't have horrible herxes to most treatments.

I do hope that your healing continues on in a very smooth manner!!

Yes, for someone that doesn't herx much or hard, any increase in symptoms or new symptoms - even "milder" ones, can be a sign of a herx.

Symptoms often seem to 'cycle' with Lyme though, so your vertigo may or may not be a herx.

Well, I'm no expert, but I have had my fair share of herxes!!!

Technically, a herx in any increase in symptoms or new symptoms that occur because of increased die off of bacteria. Lyme throws in a few curves though, since cycling of symptoms can be common. The best thing you can do is to keep a symptom log and keep looking back at it. It wont' take long before you will see patterns forming and will be able to say, "Hey! I was herxing then!"

And remember, herxing isn't required for healing to occur!! Herxing only means that your body can't get rid of the toxins fast enough is all. Many of us have compromised detoxing pathways, so it's easy for us to trigger a herx. I used to have to work really hard at detoxing in order to keep the herxing down to a minimum.

Oh yes. Almost all of them would have varying degrees of severity, some would come and go and there were a few that seemed to be always present. I think most of us experience this to some degree at least with each of these infections.
