Just trying to determine if anyone has had a herx reaction as high as almost 106 degrees? Haven't found anyone yet?

Thanks

If you have a fever this hot, you should go to the ER immediately.

I double Razzle's comment. For adults once you get to 104, brain damage usually starts occurring. To reduce fever take advil (if you can) or hot boneset tea is also supposed to reduce fevers.

I should have clarified. This took place two days ago, along with severe shakes after taking clinydmacin, which I had been taking for week twice a day, along with tindazole. But similar thing happened the next day when I only took transfer factor and enzymes, only fever was just 104.

That's why I wonder if it just a severe herx reaction. Haven't taken anything today as body is worn out. Sorry for not enough information on first post./ Thanks.

Oh no its fine! We worry about things like 106 fevers. Although secretly I'm a bit jealous. My fevers are 101 at best lol.

When I do something, I try to give it my best effort :). Thanks for the concern. One final question - is it normal to still be sweating at night some when this all started Monday? Just trying to figure out this herx stuff, it that is indeed what it is.

Is it possible that you have been infected with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever? A high fever is a hallmark symptom. You don't have to have the rash in order to have the infection. If it's possible, you still need to be seen right away, but by a doc that knows what this disease is!!

I've had this for a while. The fever came after a week or two on meds and many months on supplements. It never came before until about a week after the iv clindamycin and two weeks of tindazole. It also did it a third day after taking transfer factor. It has since stopped but I keep losing body fat and have for two years.

Are you seeing a LL doc of some sort? If so, what do they say about this?
Posted 8/30/2013 10:02 PM (GMT 0)
Yes. He is the one who put me on iv clindy and oral tindazole after other orals did not help. I mentioned ACA (European) but he thinks it could also be autoimmune reaction brought on by Lyme. I just know I keep losing body fat I do not have to give. Have been on good diet, cut out sugars, gluten, dairy, etc... He thinks body is loaded with toxcins that are having trouble getting out. Started detoxing more, but have not gone back to meds yet.

Just getting depressed because I am beginning to question Lyme diagnosis because of severe fat loss. No muscle loss.

Weight loss is a symptom of Lyme, so fever and weight loss can be a part of a herx for someone.

It could be also that you can't use abx - some people are too ill or their body's just can't handle the effects of abx. It's something you should consider - IMHO.

That's a good thought. I have always had trouble with medicine. The LLMD decided to go "nuclear" because of the progressing loss of fat. Assuming it was herx at work this week, it seems obvious I have to do something with my detoxing before trying anything heavy, or so it seems.

As far as weight loss, I've seen a lot of people have lost weight, but this comes with light red-bluish circles or patterns with it before the atrophy takes place where the circile was. It's like a deliberate process.

That's why trying to see another LLMD might be a good idea, though I like the one I am seeing. Just different set of eyes could see something new.

There's never anything wrong in getting a second or even a third opinion, especially when it's something as complicated and potentially serious as Lyme Disease!

Please do let us know if you get that second opinion and what it is! You may be able to help someone else that comes here looking for answers to this dilemma.

Will do. Just have to work up the $ right now to go to another. SOmeone recommended Jemsek, but I don't believe he takes insurance.
Posted 8/31/2013 2:16 AM (GMT 0)
I was just discussing this with someone else who had sent me an email. Take a good look around to see if you can't find a LLMD that takes insurance, but don't be surprised if you don't find anyone. It's the insurance companies that turn in the LLMD's to the AMA and others for using ILADS standards and not IDSA's standards to treat us. So LLMD's don't like to have too much contact and try to avoid direct contact with insurance companies.

Crazy, huh? shakehead
