So for the past few days I have just had no energy, dizzy spells, trouble focusing my eyes, and OMG MY FEET. The bottom of my feet are so sore all the time now which should happen because I sit on my lame Lyme arse all day lol. I honestly only feel better when I'm laying down.
I'm on Mino 200mg 2x a day, bactrim 500mg 2x a day and tindimax 500mg 2x a day weekends only.
Feed back would be nice thank you

Oh and yes I am detoxifying daily with lemon water, Epsom salt baths, green vibrance etc.

Do you have bartonella? Sore soles is one of the most typical Bart symptoms.

How long have you been on Mino? I am supposed to start that but I'm a little scared too! I know it can cause dizzy spells so that's where your dizziness could be coming from.

The no energy definitely sounds like a herx. I always feel that way when I herx.

I don't have test results for Bart but my llmd clinically diagnosed me with it. I was on rifampin before but had to stop because of elevated liver enzymes which have since gone back to normal. I also am fighting a cold that I caught from my little brother which is weird because I haven't had a cold all winter. Good thing bad thing? Who knows. I wonder why your feet hurt when you have Bart it seems to be the strangest symptom it's almost like "hey Lyme claimed everything else so we'll just take the feet."

TBrown2,

My LLMD clinically diagnosed me with Lyme & Bart so far. I get the full results on the 24th. Anyways, Bart and foot pain go hand in hand. He says the feet have a lot of nerves and that is were the Bart likes to hang out (lucky us). My foot pain is mostly in the morning when I get out of bed. It feels like I have millions of needles being jabbed into the bottoms of my feet. They can also feel like they are on fire. Sorry this is a normal symptom of Bart.

I only get this symptoms when I am treating for bart. When I was on doxy I didnt have it but as soon as I added rifampin it came out of no where but went away. Now that I am on Bactrim I have it all day everyday. Feels like I ran a marathon. My symptoms are so sporadic the only consistent ones I have are the ones I mentioned earlier.

Tbrown,

How long have you been on the Mino? It's known for dizziness as a side effect. If you've been on it for quite some time, it might not be that.

Are you detoxing? Make sure you're detoxing!

Hope you start feeling better really soon!

I've been on the Mino for about two months now. The dizzyness comes and goes. I use lemon water, oil pulling, green vibrance, and Epsom salt baths about twice a week as a detox, I also use Byron whites NT detox.
