I've been on a new protocol of abx for a few weeks. What's strange to me is that my symptoms are changing. For example, I really never had any arthritic or joint pains, but my left knee is in more pain than its ever been. 3 days ago no problems at all and today i have a limp. I'm also having a lot of neuropathy / pins and needles in new places that I haven't had before. Is this normal?

It's normal for me to get new symptoms during herxing. The neuropathy you would want to mention to your doctor if you are on Flagyl or Tinidazole as that can be a side effect of those meds which can become permanent.

Other than the great info that Summer3 gave you, for some it's quite normal for a person to notice new symptoms as the ones that were causing the most concern are fading. When some symptoms are really strong, it's easy for us to not realize that we had other symptoms so strongly or at all.

As Summer3 said though, be sure to mention these changes to your LLMD, as they could be indicative of something.
