Why wear a ribbon?

"Lyme awareness ribbon" (mofobo)

MDJunction to me

"All I can say is that this has been the best place ever. It has been six to seven months since I joined, and I have learned so much. I now believe in myself and accept myself on a completely different level. The people on MDJunction has been so supportive and accepting that I have been able to adopt it into my personal life. That has reduced a lot of stress in my life. Thanks to all." (HiddenButterfly)

Short herx?

I think I was experiencing herx symptoms on my second day on starting doxy...

It only lasted for about 6 hours and I havent experienced it again. I'm on day 4. This is my first treatment ever.

Is it possible to have a short herx like that, or was it probably not a herx?

I got really bad back pain, a 'fog', extreme fatigue, nausea... basically worsening of my original symptoms.

Thanks

Sounds like a herx to me! Tongue

Herxes can be as short as a few hours and can last as long as 3 weeks. It all depends on the circumstances in your body.

Thanks guys =) At the time, it really seemed like it.. I was just surprised it was so short. I expected it to be much worse.
