Hello all -

I tested positive for babesia (microti and duncani) and clinical dx of lyme. Been on abx regimen of doxy/mepron/zith for 6 weeks and switched to minocycline/malarone/biaxin/cholestramine for about a month.

about 2 weeks ago, I started to feel more warmth in my hands and feet. Prior to that, they were extremely cold. It's not painful but I do feel a more neuropathy in my muscles (I took this as herxing).

Is this a good sign that I am slowly recovering or a new symptom?

As always, thank you and wish a speedy and full recovery to all.

The returning of the warmth to your hands and feet is a good thing. Our blood can be 'thick' (high fibrin) or we can have inflammation in the lining of the blood vessels that can have a lot to do with how cold or warm our hands and feet are.

The increase in neuropathy could certainly indicate a herx. If it doesn't ease up with treatment and more detoxing, do be sure to talk to your doctor about it though.

I think you are slowly recovering.
Do you take some supplements for that?
I have cold feet all the time.

I am taking supplements which are too many to name, but among these are omega pills, probiotic, and curcumin.

I hope you guys are right about the recovery. Thank you for posting.

Jack , I also think that the warm feet and hands is a good sign.

Prior to lyme I didn't have cold feet and hands...but somewhere along the way, it happened.

I'll be very happy when they warm up.

Jack,

Hi. I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I hope you had a good holiday.

My son is on pretty several things you are on and I notice he seems to run hot all the time now. Not sure if it's med. related.

I would also view it as good - blood and circulation pumping. Curcumin can cause hot flashes/heat in some. Cut that out for a few days and see what happens.

Hugs and prayers to you. Hope you feel better soon.

Thank you everybody.

I also found that sauna is one of the best ways for my body to detox. I have alot of muscle and joint pain and going into a sauna helps me release toxins that abx has left behind. I just ordered a portable infrared one for home. Hope this detox method lasts longer than the other ones.

Jack,

Hi. Sorry your muscles are so sore. Have you stopped exercising for a while to recover?

Glad you are getting a sauna. Which one did you go with? I'm going to buy one soon and looking into a brand Tick checkguy suggested but can't remember the name now. Luckily I wrote it down somewhere.

I hope today is a good day for you.

Yes, I stopped exercising. With fatigue and other symptoms, my body did not want to. When I have the desire to work out, it will be a good sign that I am truly healing.

My pattern has been that when I am on a new abx regimen, I feel better for about 7-10 days, then herx.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ZGQUJO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This is the sauna. I got the link from "tired of lyme" website.

I hope this week is good for you and your son.

Jack,

Well then it does sound like the abx are killing and releasing the toxins. I would view that as a good thing, but sorry your herxes are so bad.

Thanks for the link. Please let me know how you like the sauna. My son's ped. LLMD suggested that one. I was looking into a different brand. I'll post when I find it...

Feel better.
