Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi Ray, You are having what is called a Hexheimer reaction which is actually a good thing. Stay on the antibiotics if you can, but you may need to taper off for a few days if you get super sick. A herx is when the bad little spirochetes are being killed off and the toxins make you sick. So everytime you get one you will kill off more bacteria. hugs, Connie, MI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Ray, make sure you drink plentey of water. Are you doing your IV every day or just during the week and weekends off. Remember you killing those little buggers.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 <<<<<<<< IV needs to be administered for about 11 months to cure or possible put chronic Lyme in remission.>>>>> I don't think anyone really knows for sure what type of abx, how much and for how long......to get rid of lyme.........this is so individualized. What works for one person may not necessarily work for another. I really believe that there are so many different strains of the bacteria that it is a real hit or miss when choosing the right abx to get rid of it. In fact I believe we can have more than one strain which may not all be killed off by the same abx. I think that is why so many Drs. combine abx or switch to different abx during treatment.
