Isn't this the darndest disease? Have been feeling good for the past two weeks (most symptoms at bay except for buzzing in my head) but also recently changed abx because the other was making me nauseous. Lots of herxing with last one, almost none with these. What other disease has you questioning when you are feeling better whether that is a good thing or not?!?

Regardless, am enjoying having more energy, sleeping better and that I can do more physically. . . That is the point of all these drugs, right - to get better!

Oh Garfield! I know this EXACTLY! Lyme is so terrible that way! I find myself looking forward to feeling crappy, and yet when I feel crappy I get scared I am not getting better...but if I don't feel crappy then what if my meds aren't working?

If you are feeling better, that is great! I would stay on the new meds for at least a month (your doc might say even more), but if you are improving that is great. It is just if you are staying the same that you have to worry that they aren't working, in general. At the least, enjoy this break before you have to switch to something that DOES make you feel bad!
