Hi. I was just curious how long you were on treatment before you noticed,"aha! I'm starting to feel better!"

I've been on abx for 1 month, and I have not herxed or improved.
I was ill for 6 years before being diagnosed and treated.

My symptoms are all neuro. Fatigue, weakness, brain fog, insomnia, panic/anxiety......

From doing searches on this forum, I have noticed some folks feel better right away while others say it took 3-5 months to notice anything. I wonder why that is.

I'm trying to stay positive! But, I will admit that I'm worried that I haven't noticed anything yet. I am scared that I can't be healed and that I will suffer that rest of my life.

I'm looking forward to your responses. Thanks!

Xoxoxo

I've been treating for several months and don't feel better yet. 3-4 months. Don't give up!

I'd say I could see very slight improvements after 6 or 7 months.My llmd says 5% a month is doing well, but it might take a while toget to that point.

I have been on antibiotics for almost 4 months now.
I had symptom improvement in the first month - sleep issues, and anxiety, but not much since then.
In fact, after two months of treatment, I got a new symptom - sore/stiff shoulders (front and top of shoulders).

I do herx, though, so I know something is happening.

I'm not throwing in the towel yet...I'm giving it 6 months before i start to question my protocol.

I felt worse for about two months and noticed starting to feel better around 3 months.

I was on IV Rocephin for my first month and I really Herxed bad. I would say that I was at my worst about 3 1/2 weeks into it. I don't actually remember when I started feeling better but it was definitely sometime during the second month. I know that I went from not wanting to leave my house to feeling good enough to go to Disney World (as a replacement for a previously cancelled vacation due to IV). Unfortunately my recovery didn't last, but I'm hopeful that I'll get back there again.
