Does neuropathy ever go away? I also wonder if some of my symptoms are from Cipro that I took 20 months ago, low does for one week. Anyone experience with this?

Hi Naomi -

Sorry about the neuropathy - it can be relentless and can cycle and can be from more than one infection and herxing. My Lyme-knowledgeable neurologist suggests it can also be from inflammation.

I developed some bart herxing after one dose of Levofloxacin, which is a flouroquine like Cibro. But I also developed anaphylactic responses to it so I stopped taking it. Weve had several discussions here about the fluoroquines and the question of whether people who take it are herxing or being "floxxed" (experiencing damage) from taking the drug so you might want to search for those.

Are you current treating bartonella? The best way to know if your sx are from floxxing or from stirring up the infection is to start treating bart to determine if you have any relief.
