Could it have been exercise that sent me back into tizzy?

springsjean...what ZPACK u talking about? prednisone??

Yes, exercise can lead to herxing... I just realized, every time I went back to school in the Fall, I'd have a 4-6 week bout of increased leg pains (my first Lyme symptom) before it settled down again...must have been herxing due to the increased walking in college vs. being at home for the Summertime...

Could be either one, or a mix of both, depending on the strength of your immune system (and probably other factors I'm not thinking of right now).

Herxing means die-off of bacteria (good), but it also means clogged/overloaded detox pathways (not so good).

I've read here and on other chronic illness forums that exercising to tolerance is better than trying to force onesself to stick to a set plan no matter what. So maybe throw in some detox baths, etc. and see what happens?

Good luck,
