I have been taking Ceftin for 14 days one week after my tickbite. I developed tingling after 12 days in my left calf that seems to be spreading. Is this from the Ceftin or is the lyme overpowering it?
Welcome to the forum, Ericb!
Do you have enough Ceftin to continue taking it for several more weeks ?
You need to treat until all symptoms are gone plus a few more weeks for insurance.
If you don’t see progress - you could switch to another antibiotic - like minocycline or doxycycline.
It’s difficult to know if you’re having a herxheimer response to the “killing” of the bacteria or if the antibiotic isn’t working.
Are you seeing a LLMD?
You might want to consider that.
LLMD = Lyme Literate MD
