So, I have been treating for 3 1/2 months - saw some progress initially after being on the doxy/zithro combo. (sleep issues/anxiety subsided)
I discontinued that end of august. Have been on ammox since...had one herx on ammox, and biaxin was added end of September.
I have herxed twice on the biaxin...and after both hexes, I backed off on the dose...and then ramped up again. The herxes come a day or two after getting to full dose.
So, yesterday was 2nd day of full dose after ramping...and last night in the middle of the night, I woke up to anxiety, shivers....and had a poor sleep generally.
I have not had a bad sleep like that for months.
I woke up in tears...not even wanting to get out of bed.
Does this sound like a herx - in the middle of the night? Does that happen?
If I am herxing...and recovering...how come I haven't had progress in the past couple months - after I herx...shouldn't I have symptom improvement? I just go back to my pre-herx symptoms. I have only been on biaxin for 3 1/2 weeks - is it possible that it it's just not long enough on it to have improved my symptoms yet?
