Hi all. I have been ill with CFS for over 20 years, after "mono". I have tried many treatments over the years but nothing helped much.
I was tested for Lyme at several labs including Igenex, and it was always totally negative.
Recently, an ELISPOT test showed immune activity against Borrelia and another test showed high IgG antibodies for Bartonella. I do not know why these infections were not found before.
I am on Rifampin and Clarithromycin 250 mg. I cannot take a higher dose due to diarrhea.
My question is....is it possible to start feeling a lot worse 2 months after starting the treatment? I think I started "herxing" yesterday but I thought this was supposed to happen right away.
Thanks
