So yesterday I woke up feeling drained even with a good night sleep and my stomach was in knots and I was alittle sweaty so I took a Epson bath and lemon with water and that really didn't help at first but around 3pm that afternoon I started to feel better and today I am feeling almost back to my old self no joint pain,anxious thoughts,brain fog do you guys think that was a herx that I hear so much about.Thanks in advance

Yes, it does sound like a herx.

How long have you been treating?

Chronic fatigue was one of my first signs of lyme disease. Tired constantly. Things will get better. Continue to treat.

After a couple months of treatment, you might want to experiment with a sauna session. Seems to be helping.

Just be aware that 200 mgs of Doxy a day is not sufficient to heal Lyme disease, even if a LLMD is the one telling you to do this only. Your doctor may have a plan to add in more abx when you go back to see them though.

I would also encourage you to include more detoxing routines in. Epsom salt soaks and lemon water is only a start. Here is where most of us go for detoxing ideas: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html

Do you have any Health Food Stores near you?

...or you can order online - Amazon is one place.

Yes you can order it on Amazon. Many here get many more of their supplies via Amazon.
