Hello everyone, I'm back since the last time i posted here: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=4014510

I've started IV Ceftriaxone yesterday, 200mg a day. I've started getting dark colored diarrhea, nausea and abdominal pain/discomfort today, also my muscles started twitching more frequently again. I was wondering if this is something common, and should I be worried? Definitely going to mention this tomorrow to the doctors, but just wanted to ask here since you guys have a lot of experience with this.

200mg/ day isn't too much but it is IV. I can't attest to the IV portion. Ceftin was personally a great drug for me it did definitely cause a herx but mine was more mental/brain fog then anything else. If your symptoms worsen-please call your physician right away. Are you doing any detoxing and how does your diet look?

In the meantime, I would absolutely be drinking lots of lemon water and supplementing with a good quality magnesium to help with the twitching. It could absolutely be a herx-but always best to err on caution! I am glad to hear things are 'moving' though. I love poop discussions - and hey at least you are getting toxins out Floho!

As far as the nausea goes ginger tea helped me a lot and if it is constant dried ginger lozenges/candy are good to have on stash.

Seems to have gotten better today, started taking some probiotics. They also took my blood today for tests just to be sure.

200 mg? It's impossible... it's like if you say i'm taking 20mg of doxycycline...

Whit this low dose the o.ly thing that can happen is to be worse... move the spirochetes to tissues where antibiotic's levels are low and make more damage.
