Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I herxed like I was gonna die on Zith, worst herx of my life. Had been on Doxy, Amox and rocephin before, didn't expect it.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Wow!! I am so sorry to hear you had this kind of herx...I never get a cold... I never get the flu.. however, since being on zith I am down with a cold and have allergy symptoms like crazy... the one good thing about borrelia is when I started getting all the other crazy symptoms of myalgias weight gain etc... I stopped having allergies and never caught even a hint of a cold... I felt like I had been hit by a truck... lol!!but no cold!! Well, anyway boy am I suffering now... My doc thinks it is the co-infections dying... Oh well... sorry for your herxing... but, it makes me feel better knowing at least maybe afterward I have some dead bacteria and can be a little closer to the road to being borrelia and co-bugger free...

Painful or sore when pressed. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia on top of the Lyme through these symptoms. (I don't know how big a dime is but they (the cysts, about 8 of them) vary between the size of a 5p to a 20p piece!!). HTH, Kezzi. . .

A dime is about 17-18mm in diameter by my measurement and very thin, abt 1mm. Does this compare with one of your coins? -- Bye, Kerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Bud, yes, a 5p is the same size! 20p's are around 21-22mm. Cheers, Kerry. Catch you on the 'other side'... I'm nearly done over here... Kez. . .

I have this and especially in my neck muscles/tissue. Yes, this disease is horrific to say the least. Donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 I am sorry to read you have it too... has anything helped you? The only thing that helped me was hyrdrocodone... which I am out of... I am a zombie right now due to gabitril and zithro herx... plus, everytime I go on a different antibiotic I get a horrible cold that drains me of all I have... I am going to try a pain management doc after I get rid of this cold... I have been told that they really help with pain... I have read a bit on gabitril and it is used to combat nerve pain... I am not sure nerve pain is the problem with the muscles all in knotts... I like vicodin better...I can actually take it every 3 or four days just once and it saves me...
