Treatment Duration & Herx Symptoms

This may sound silly, but it took me a while before I recognized what I was experiencing was a herx.

Mine seem to start the day after I start a treatment, and just seem to stay with me. My symptoms are very neurological. My walking gets really stiff, heavy fatigue, a strong, unexplainable, uncomfortable CNS feeling in my core. It makes it difficult to talk.

I have not consistently stayed on any one protocol for more than 4 months. This might be my issue. But it just seems like I can never get the toxin load down fast enough. Once I stop the treatment, I seem to start feeling better a couple weeks after. I thought this was strange. But then I remembered Mandy Hughes from Under our Skin. She got progressively worse until the 5 month mark, then started feeling better.

Did anyone here get progressively worse for a period of time before they started feeling better?

And can you describe your individual herx symptoms?

My herx symptoms are similar to yours - I feel very tired, concentration is more difficult.
I had a herx when I first started rifing and it just stayed with me for about three months and then gradually started to clear away. I felt better for a while, a lot better and then I seemed to loose some of that and it plateaued. I have had allergies to herbs and meds so I started to look for something else and found it in taking ACS 200 silver and a herxed there - again for three months and it leveled off.
The lyme was still there but a lot of my allergies had gone and I found herbs I could take and dropped the silver. I cant afford them both.. Now I am on a herbal protocol. I hardly herx at all. I think the bug load is down a lot but they arent gone for sure - lyme still shows up in my tests.
I dont think you get rid of it in my case until you have detoxed more.
But I am definitely familiar with getting worse before I get better. It isn't the same for everyone but I take it as a sign what I am taking is working.

I too get progressively worse. I'm only on day 13 of a very strong protocol for 3 infections. The symptoms seem to worsen just an hour after my dose. Headaches, headpressure, nausea, earpressure, kneepain, facepain, really stiff neck. It seems to get worse everyday.

Kinda frustrating when you're not sure wether it's working or not. Hope to feel better one day.
