Can you use a herx reaction when starting strong antibiotics as a conclusive determination if you have lyme disease/co-infection? If taking the antibiotics by themselves without an active case of lyme, how likely is it you will react in a similar manner to a herx reaction?
Also, how common is it to have a herx reaction provided you do have an active case of lyme? I am wondering if you either A: have a herx reaction, or B: improve noticeably, would be pretty conclusive in revealing an active case provided testing doesn't yield in a positive result.
Thanks,
Vin
