Hey everyone, so I ran out of antibiotics & am begining a new medicine to target co infections. I’m waiting on them to come in the mail so the past 3 days I havnt had any antibiotics besides rifampin which I’ve been on for like 7 months. But as far as the antibiotics for Lyme I havnt been on.

The last 2 days I have felt really good! Not like normal good but good for how I’ve felt the past 3 years. I still get sleepy at times but I havnt felt this great in forever. I’m trying to not get overly excited but it’s hard not too when you’ve been sick this long like most of you have.

While treating I’ve never herxed or felt any type of way with the antibiotics so I was beginning to doubt my diagnosis or consider getting looked at or CIRS but what do you all think about this? Why am I feeling so good?? Is this because my body is getting a break from the antibiotics or what

Well, antibiotics have side effects. When I stopped mine a little bit ago (to start the buhner protocol since the antibiotics were messing my stomach up), my headaches went away for the most part, and I was feeling pretty good. Some of my other symptoms have been slowly crawling back now that I've stopped though, but I'm hoping that once I get up to the right dose for my herbals I'll be feeling pretty good.

Yea, antibiotics can make you feel bad in some ways. Especially when you're on them for as long as a lot of us are. It's just something you've gotta decide for yourself, everyone's situation is different. I may get back on antibiotics after a while, just wanna give my GI system time to get better. Hopefully the herbals will work well and I won't need to though, the antibiotics have already helped a lot.

When you treat you are essentially killing those buggers. The die off is toxins and they make you feel lousy.

Stay off and see how you feel. I've done breaks to get my kidney numbers back up and at first I feel really good. After about 10-12 days my symptoms start coming back.

When I back down on antibiotics and/or herbs, I can also feel better. Just less body is dealing with. Just stay aware of how you feel and if anything is coming back.

I'm actually about to back down now, like jrpsf, to see how kidney numbers react. Best to you with it.

I mean it’s depressing. I felt amazing!! First 3 days of getting off antibiotics then today I have just felt like trash. SO TIRED..
