Herx or nerve damage from antibiotics??

Hi guys so im currently on 400mg Doxy daily, 300mg Mycobutin every other day and 500mg Zithromax 2x per week.

3 days ago I developed a new symptom, a buzzing sensation in my calves/knee whenever I activate those muscles i.e. whenever I walk/move around. Nothing happens when still. Is this likely a herx from my infections or nerve damage/side effect from the drugs? I'm thinking the former, not the latter? If it was a drug side effect you would think I would have more than just that one area buzzing when activated? I should mention I normally suffer from periodic muscle twitches and buzzing sensations if I hit a body part hard on something or clap my hands together hard. Thanks!

Girlie- 3 weeks. Yeah Im thinking herx too.

I have no detox issues [liver and kidney enzymes were perfect on CBC 3 days ago] and because so far all these drugs havent caused any changes or bad side effects. Except Mycobutin actually- the first 10 days on it I got a harsh pressure in the front of my head all day but that is gone now.

hi - it is possibly a herx, however, i had peripheral neuropathy issues with doxy - so doxy can indeed cause nerve problems.

here is my question - you have only been on doxy for 3 weeks? my dr started me on doxy slowly - i wasn't on 400mg a day until month 3. perhaps you started the doxy on too high of a dose? that is my thinking....

i hope i didn't confuse you on the other thread when you were asking about the DR form - did you switch over? is your stomach better?

I agree as well---sounds like very common lyme sx so I vote for herxing, too. Detox!!
