My first herx?

As some of you lovely people might recall from my previous posts I was feeling a lot better these days, after my first lyme symptoms started in Dec 2015. I left it untreatec undiagnosed for almost two months. Then saw an llnd who prescribed antibiotics. I still havent had an igenex test yet.

However three days ago I decided to start the antibiotics. That same day i had a headachr all day. Then the past few days extreme fatige, irritability, anxiety at night gasping for air....and my most prominant symptom terrible migrating joint and muscle pain has returned with a vengance. Do you think this is a herx? If so, would this be my confirmation that this is lyme? I still think i am going to test with igenex but now I feel this is another piece to the puzzle.

Im detoxing with epsom baths, dry brush, and lemon but i still feel bad. I wonder how long it will last it is scaring me.

Thanks

Sounds like herx to me. I had similar symptoms in my first week of antibiotics before temporarily stopping them because it got too severe. I thought I was dying those first couple days. My docs have me doing a bunch of detox, lymph cleansing, cleansing protocols before starting antibiotics again to make sure I'm well prepared to fight the bugs with antibiotics.

Count me in on the vote for a herx - so sorry you're dealing with this!

You really need to be doing more for detox and you need to be doing everything daily. There are a bunch of easy supplements you could add to your detoxing protocol that can help immensely. Please take a peek at the following link for detoxing ideas and slowly add some:

Alka Seltzer Gold can really help with herxes. In fact, I got to taking it twice daily whether I was herxing or not.

It takes awhile to get ahead of the toxins being produced during treatment but there will eventually come a time that you don't need to detox as much. Truly, everyone benefits from detoxing even when healthy.

And, yes, herxing on abx is confirmation that you are dealing with Lyme and possibly coinfections.

Hope you feel better soon!

Alka Seltzer gold helps change the body's ph from acidic to more alkaline...which is what we want.

Since you're ordering from Amazon...you might want to think about Nutramedix Pinella and Burbur. I buy mine separately, but I think they come combined.

(I think Amazon sells Nutramedix)
