Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Lindsey: You are doing all the righ things. I wish I had a sauna. My herxing experience was different because I was herxing from a couple of " stealth " infections, as well. Plus my Dr. at the time wrote the prescription so sloppy the pharmacy doubled it and I was taking 800 mg of Doxy per day for 10 days before I realized the error!!! At least I got the worst herx over right away. I would get a little nervous, some nausea but no real pain. My v pain didn't get worse. More recently some new aches and pains are aroung but nothing major - not that uncomforable. When I was herxing Xanax helped me through many a herx. It lowered my heartrate (which went way up during a herx) and made me relax so I really appreciated it! They say a Herxheimer Reaction is a worsening of symptoms plus some possible other symptoms (like heart rate, lower blood pressure and naseau) but everyone herxes differently. > > My experience starting the doxycycline is that I did not herx very badly. I did have some tiredness and my joints were super achy. Also, I had weird bouts of just feeling itchy and tender " all over " my skin...but that's the only herxing that I experienced so far. I drank lots of water, ate a ton of fiber, and rested a lot. I also am using the sauna at the gym a few times a week. > Lindsey > > __________________________________________________ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Oh man, Lindsey you are so lucky! I had the Herx from H**l for 3 weeks after I started my doxy....my v pain literally got about 4 times worse, i could hardly walk or get out of bed, my fatigue was horrible, and i felt like i got hit by a truck... sore all over. i had another herx 5 wks after that but it only lasted for about a week...i guess i can hope that they will continue to be shorter! > > > > My experience starting the doxycycline is that I did not herx very > badly.
