How was your first herxing experience?

I just started treatment for lyme with a low dose of doxycycline. I am working my way up and adding other antibiotics along the way with treatment.
I wanted to ask you all how long was your first herx when you started treatment? Did it start right after you started treatment, was it a couple days or weeks? How long did it last?
What was your herx like?
I know everyone is different and will have a different experience.
I'm not sure if I have started herxing yet, but I definitely notice more brain fog than normal.

Welcome, hennatattoo!

I think my first herx was within a week of starting my first antibiotic (doxy)
It lasted a few days.

Are you detoxing?
I suggest you detox with multiple methods daily. It can help remove the toxins that maybe contributing to the herx.

Some I have used:

- Make sure I’m drinking several glasses of water daily.
- Add fresh lemon juice to some glasses of water
- warm Epsom salt baths
- dry brushing my skin prior to baths
- take probiotics daily
- take milk thistle for the liver
- take a binder - ie activated charcoal for example
- lymph massage
- light exercise

I just remember the leg pain. The herxing has always stayed the same.
