Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Sue - Herxing is a reaction that you get when you have massive die-off of virus' or bacteria in the blood. I'm sure the severity and symptoms differ from person to person, but it's a general feeling of being ill. -Wendi Herxing?? What does this mean? Thank you!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 If I'm not mistaken, herxing usually occurs in PWCs when there has been no immune response, and then something occurs which allows your immune system to start responding to pathogens. If your immune system is already working (such as how you knew you had a sinus infection) then the bacteria were already being killed and your immune response was activated prior to your taking the abx. -chris > > What I don't understand is when I was younger and took abx's for a sinus infection, I > NEVER " herxed " .
