However, it would be easier to answer the question if I had more info from you. If you are still in treatment, I'd say that you may either no longer be experiencing a Herx, which could indicate that you are getting better, which is great, or your Herx could be lengthening out, as they sometimes do. The pattern is typically a 4-week pattern, but it can be a 4-6 week pattern.

If you were in treatment and aren't, then my guess would be that you are no longer killing the bacteria, thus no longer producing toxins, hence no more Herx. If you weren't in treatment before, and still aren't, I can't explain it, and if you weren't in treatment before and are now, then perhaps you are getting better.

I think I covered all the bases! LOL

Hope that helped at least a little. If you can expand on your entry and give us a little more info, I think we can help you more.

*hugs* and here's hoping you stay feeling good!

Here's a paragraph from the following website:

http://www.ilads.org/files/burrascano_0905.pdf

"It has been observed that symptoms will flare in cycles every four weeks. It is thought that this reflects the organism’s cell cycle, with the growth phase occurring once per month (intermittent growth is common in Borrelia species). As antibiotics will only kill bacteria during their growth phase, therapy is designed to bracket at least one whole generation cycle. This is why the minimum treatment duration should be at least four weeks. If the antibiotics are working, over time these flares will lessen in severity and duration. The very occurrence of ongoing monthly cycles indicates that living organisms are still present and that antibiotics should be continued".
