Symptoms worsen in afternoon and night time.

I started my treatment about 3 weeks ago which also coincided with going back to work after being off for the summer. I work 6-1/2 hours a day in a building without A/C in most areas and am on my feet for most of the day. While I'm at work, I don't notice some of my symptoms that much but do get fatigued in the early afternoon. When I get home is when I notice my symptoms...muscle aches/throbbing all over, stiffness and cracking in back and neck, tingling in my hands and feet, and overall physical and mental fatigue. Symptoms have also been disrupting my sleep as they feel more pronounced at night. When I get up, everything is stiff and achy and things get a little better as the morning goes on. Does anyone else notice a pattern like this? Is there anything to help with the muscle pain and throbbing? Tylenol and Advil don't seem to help. I take NAC (precursor to glutathione) to help with detox and just started turmeric hoping it would help calm inflammation.

Yes, I'm taking minocycline 100 mg 2x/day for days 1 - 5, then tindamax 500 mg 2x/day for days 6 & 7, and then 1 fluconozole 500 mg on day 7. I take 600 mg NAC every morning, and 1 probiotic every night before bed. I just started the turmeric in the evening.

Luv2travel,

So sorry you are going though all of this. I think it is worse in the night time because you have worked all day and have the antibiotics coursing through your body. The body has innate wisdom. Once it gets home it knows it can rest. You must be strong because I could not work while on antibiotics - they kicked my butt.

I find my symptoms to be worse later in the day Also.

My symptoms are always the worse in the am....and improve as the day continues.

Thanks huddie. Lol but not.
I feel horrible most of the time but actually the morning I have no energy but once I get going I am ok until about that 4 - 7 ish also.

many co-infections symptoms get worse in the afternoon and more severe at night. i know babesia does this for sure and i believe bart as well. of course not everyone is the same. my wife who's combating lyme is horrible in the morning take 3 hours to get going and is better middle of day. this is why you really have to know your body, what you're on, your limits, etc. your immune system doesn't work well if you stress it too much (e.g. not getting enough sleep, anxiety, poor diet, etc.)
