Migraine/headache from herxing?

Hey there :)

I have been on antibiotics for one month now (doxy, flagyl) in addition to supplements, detoxing, diet change, etc...

The good news is that I feel SO much better. My symptoms went from a constant/consistent 7-8 pain/discomfort level to occasional 1-2. I have spurts of energy and walked 2 miles yesterday (I was in a wheelchair last month). Also, my spirits are really really good. I feel like myself again.

However, here's my problem, if anyone has insight.

For the past few weeks I've been sleeping 12 hours per night and waking up feeling sore/tired. And every few days, I get a bad headache/migraine that persists for hours. The only thing that seems to help is lying down in a dark room and or taking a nap. I've never had a migraine before treatment started.

Could the excessive sleeping just be my body needing extra rest from healing? Are the migraines a possible herx reaction?

Thanks for reading :)

I herxed yesterday bc I took a bath the night before and then a hot shower in the morning - big mistake! And then last night I had the absolute worst migraine in my life! So that sounds just about right. My perfect medicine combo for a migraine is one extra strength Tylenol and 1/2 tablet of Excedrin. Works like a charm for me (I take 1/2 tablet bc it less caffeine and prevents me from getting a rebound headache)

johnred - you just joined, so did I - how long do you think you have had lyme? my elisa and western blot came out negative too, but I am going in tomorrow to a LLMD and will get the real and reliable tests....
