I have recently started me 3rd month of abx. It is taking a toll on me now. The past few days I have taken them, I have felt like crud. Some nausea and just over all crap. I absolutely do not want to stop treatment at this point. But, is there something I can do to ease the sickness?

I'm so sorry you are feeling bad. You are not alone. I've been incredibly nauseated as well. The only thing that helps me in those moments is fresh air or a fan blowing on me, seltzer water, and saltine crackers. And usually once I can get a few crackers in, the nausea starts to subside.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, I am staying away from all grain. I'll look for something else I can snack on.

Also make sure to drinks lots of water when your taking the abx pills.

That way they get down better.

Don't lay down for awhile after taking the pills.

ginger root was good for me early in my treatment.

Thanks all. I will definitely get some ginger. I think it's the abx. But I'm going to weather the storm...

1000Daisies - LOL. It's been a lifelong nickname because it's very close to my actual last name. But, yeah, I feel you. I LOVED Jimmy John subs before I got sick. Now I stay away from all grain. Really stinks.

I feel very nauseated from the abx, I started taking mine in between a meal and with something that has a stronge taste, eg as soon as I swallow the pills I will drink my glass of water and then chew on an olive. I can’t stand the taste of the capsule.

It’s exhausting feeling like that.

Hope you feel better from it soon

Once again I'm with you hoagie. I'm 2-3 months in and having more intense herxing. Felt hungover all day yesterday and today.

But I have to remember this means it's doing some killing. And remember that with my first go round with Lyme that's how it was too.

I use the analogy of its your body throwing up. You feel better after. It's always after these herxing episodes do I feel better and started to heal the first time.

So it's going to be the same rodeo this time too.
