I am getting a bit overwhelmed. I have been on doxycycline (currently on 400mg/day) plus other herbs and supplements for 9 weeks. Most of my symptoms subsided but then a new symptom arose about a week ago - peripheral neuropathy (coldness feeling under skin)

so my Dr told me to stop the GSE and cut down on the doxy, to make sure it is not due to toxicity. I did that, and now an old symptom is coming back ontop of this and I have a fever.

What could be going on??? confused

I think you will find as you heal some new symptoms develop, and old ones crop up. They say that you actually heal in reverse order, the first symptoms are the last to go.

Make sure you are detoxing enough and I think you will find you make some improvement as time goes on.

And the fever? Could be a virus, there's a lot going around. And if it is a virus, that would increase your symptoms.

Do you have co-infections? I can't remember if you said you did in other posts. I notice that as one of my co-infections is treated it subsides and a different one flares up. It's just part of the balancing what to treat.

Tested negative for coinfections but may possibly have bartonella. My LLMD called me back. She is the best. She told me to hold off on doxy over the weekend and to take aspririn on Sunday. I go in to c her Monday so we will c what the story is then! And yes she said old symptoms coming back is common and would not be from cutting back the antibiotic for such a short time.

I had a chronic fever for years, and then it went away.

My doctor was very puzzled.
