Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 I hope no one is offended or annoyed with this post because I am going to ask a question. I have done research on herxing and I haven't seen any evidence that herxing can cause a fever. Have any of you, in your personal experience, had bad fevers while herxing? Also have any of you had swollen glands and head pain (not headaches) while herxing? Just looking for your personal expereinces and I am not asking for a concrete answer to this question.

When I had my first herx I had a temp of 104, normally its 96-97. I was cold and clammy to the touch and could not get warm. I wore sweats and then layed in bed with several blankets and a comforter. TG this didnt last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2001 Report Share Posted July 26, 2001 Lyra, I have run low grade fevers with herxes, by that I mean 99.0 to 100.0, I have found that since I have acquired Lyme disease my temperature is lower than normal....some theorize it is because the spirochetes do not like heat. Many here on the list will agree that they run lower temps than pre-LD now. Therefore when temp is 99-100, actually you are running a temp. When I ended up in hospital last September delirious, delusional, convulsing, and totally out of it, I was told my temperature in the ER was 101.5. Maybe in actuality it was 103 to 104 in a normal person? Have you found the Lyme Alliance web site? They have great medical abstracts and reports there, look for articles by Tom Grier: http://www.lymealliance.org/Research/research.html http://www.lymealliance.org/Medical/medical.html http://www.lymealliance.org/Newsletter/newsletter.html Their newsletter is great, worth subscribing too, but you can read back issues at the site. Yes, I have suffered head pain, swollen glands, even under my arm pits, and groin, while herxing. As for fevers, I once took my son to a doctor who told me, " Fever is a wonderful thing, it is the body's way of fighting infections " Marta ----- Original Message ----- From: <lms@...> > > I hope no one is offended or annoyed with this post because I am > going to ask a question.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 Everybody keeps saying that there are no easy fixes...believe me *I know that*. What I am concerned about is the dosage of medication....is it the right dosage for the long haul (not for the quick fix).

Yes, you are on the right dosage of Ceftin according to my LLMD. My LLMD is one of the great Lyme doctors out there. I understand your upset and confusion as I've been there and I am there. This disease effects us in so many ways. I believe you are taking things that are meant to be supportive as negative. My intent was to be helpful and supportive. I too am over sensitive and stressed right now. You are not alone in this. Wishing you the best, Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 " I hope you have been given leads to a great LLMD from others on the list who live in your area. -Jules " **** The problem here is I personally have given Lyra support/info and even shared the name of my VERY private LLMD in which she made an appt., cancelled and then finally came back and saw him. Lyra, you have been given the very best of care and attention by me (many private e-mails) and my LLMD and yet you still question what, why, who, when and that is what is frustrating to me. I also cannot believe that one person has posted and have posts written about them that take up ALOT of the 1,000 allotted e-mails one has!!!! In the 5 yrs. I have been doing this, this is the first time I have seen someone just go on and on and on....... I have not been cruel, not 'yelled' at you, but it would be a good idea for you to join a support group in person for lyme. THIS would help tremendously calm your fears and anxiety. I have told you to ask our LLMD for Xanax, to help with your 'panic attacks' or 'anxiety'. Have you done that??? Please, Lyra, take responsibility for yourself and stop blaming others. I have a 6 yr old with this horrible disease, I have 2- 13 yr old boys, 15 yr old daughter and 18yr old dauhgter......they don't go on and on about it. Your " young age " has nothing to do with why you should be allowed to ask, ask, ask. I gave you many WONDERFUL lyme sites in which you can educate yourself about lyme and understand what this is all about. I agree here......enough is enough about this.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 If you don't like my messages...press delete....it is not that hard. I should have the freedom to go on and on and on if I like...this does not violate any of the rules of the group and is therpuetic for me. I learn by asking over and over again...that is how my brain works.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 - Dear Lrya, Although it is not " ON " the rules list, it is a comman courtesy to use good manners during dialog. We all abide by that. To intimadate the members of this support group is poor manners. Be it may " Theraputic " for you, it is also " Symptomatic " as well, and we surely have wittnessed that <VBG>. The best course of action is begin " Anxiety Therapy " with a good Counselor el pronto. To continuely froth at the mouth with human excretement does this leave one with the ambition of becoming a soap suds enema patient?
