Bicillin feeling better, but come down is HELL. PLEASE HELPO

I have neuro-psychiatric lyme, and I started bicillin shots a few months ago. After the shots my neuro-psych symptoms improve a lot for a few days, and then they die down and get a lot worse a long with a presentation of new symptoms.

When the good period dies down I get a weird sense of similar to euphoria, except its an awful feeling. It is hard to describe but my brain over reacts to everything. I also mixed up words very frequently, can't organize thoughts well, and have awful insomnia.

Anyone else experience this?

Hi Sebaj!
Welcome to our community!!

As Garden Peace suggested, it would be good for you to read through our "New to Lyme? Start here!" thread that sits at the top of the forum. It's packed full of really important information like symptom lists, detoxing tips, and so much more!

So this cycle keeps repeating itself each time? That sounds like a detoxing issue. Each time you get a shot of Bicillin, it kills off the bacteria in your blood stream. The bacteria release toxins as they die, which can and does overwhelm the body for many of us. Since many also have issues with their body being able to detox well, these toxins end up staying inside of us creating even more havoc than before. If a person doesn't get their body detoxing well, the cycle just keeps repeating itself, slowing or even stopping our healing as the body can only deal with so much at one time.

We have some great detoxing tips in the "New to Lyme?" thread that I would encourage you to go over and begin to find a good routine with them.
