the motherboard needed replacing, so he's been taking care of that.

I'm sure you'll hear from him soon.

I'm hoping to catch up tonight on what everyone has been talking about

on the list.

Hi Laurie, nice to hear from you. I know Ken has been busy but I was

starting to worry about you because we haven't heard from you on the list.

Nice to know your okay.

Hi,

I thought I'd mention that for me, the herxing on Zithromax has been

different than with the tetracyclines. I have more energy, not as

sleepy, but the herxing itself is a little more uncomfortable. Some

nausea and muscle pains mostly. It is tolerable though. I'm

starting my fourth course of it tomorrow.

My back has caved in on me again, so I've been in a lot of pain and

haven't been keeping up with the group. I had a bad horsefall in OZ

a very long time ago - I may have said something about that (spent a

wonderful year in Tamworth N.S.W.) - and I believe the mycoplasma

infection may have hefty colonies around the injury sites. So, this

may be herxing and it may not. It's confusing when it's also a

structural issue. I'm hoping it's herxing (I'd feel a lot better

about it <g>). This is improving BTW and I feel better.

Ken has been awfully busy with work. He seems to be doing very well
