So I have been on a break from abx for a month. I just felt like I needed to take one. My insides were telling me too. My Dr. Wants me to add back in clarithomycin and minocycline along with rafampin and eventually Flagyl pulsed.
1, is it OK to workout on these meds? Just started going to the gym again and I do feel good.

2, what does a rafampin herx feel like? When folks say they couldn't tolerate it what do they mean?

3, will cardio deliver oxygen to the blood and help with healing?

I do have mainly at night periods of ruminations but they have improved also the neuropathy is almost extinguished. Could this be from toxin mobilization from working out?

Yes, you can work out on the meds - but you may not feel like it.

Rifampin herxes can be brutal - I think I tolerated Rifampin better then Rifabutin though (rifabutin is considered “stronger “ than Rifampin -according to my llmd)

My first LLND had me take Rifampin
Then a few years later my current LLMD had me take Rifabutin.
I did end up with an emergency room worthy herx when I first started Rifabutin.
But I was also on dapsone, daraprim, mino, Ceftin, Tinidazole …

Agreed with Girlie. I could not take Rifampin because of the strong reaction I had to it - too strong. That doesn't mean you will as I tend to do that to a number of treatments.

I've always worked out some, even when treating. Just some days were much less than others because of how I felt.
