Bicillin LA shots, experiences?

I've been on Bicillin LA injections for a little over a month now. 1,200,000 units per 2ml injecting twice a week. How did you do on them? Positive success stories are very welcomed. I understand everyone is different, this is the big mystery that further complexes the lyme community and their lyme practitioners. I feel like I have the flu, horrible body aches, nauseating headaches, pin and needles in my limbs, night sweats in the middle of the night. I had these before I started the shots. However, I dont know if these are getting worse from potential herxing or still the lyme? I tested positive for another active Mono infection about 6 months ago. I've never been so terrified in my life. I pray to God everyday that they work. This isn't my first treatment attempt. I was on three oral antibiotics for about 4 months last summer into the fall. I've possibly been infected for over 20 years. I see me LLMD for a follow up next month. Thanks everyone.

Yes I did herx from the oral abxs. I felt the herx begin about a week after starting the abxs...one big one was cold intolerance. July was very hot and humid in our area and I was having chills ( yes babesia). After 4 months I don't believe my LLMD thought it was working, she even questioned if I did infact have Lyme and wanted to focus on healing the Mono. I was devestated, I knew I had Chronic Lyme. Around the holidays I did a very unorthodox protocol... water and a sea salt detox and man was it intense! I did it off and on for approximately 2 months and wouldn't you know I had 10-15 bulls eye rashes throughout my whole body( yes you read right). I believe the salt was pushing the Lyme out of me. Never had them before, as most lyme sufferers don't recall getting them...contrary to what the CDC nut jobs and "mainstream docs" imply right? Ha! Well long story short, I called my LLMD and emailed her the pictures, her and my regular primary care doctor confirmed these were lyme rashes. That's when my LLMD told my I'd benefit from Bicillin injections, the infection was more systemic. She wasn't happy about the sea salt detox, but hey I was desperate to get all this junk out of my body ( not just lyme). I was afraid too of the potential high cost of the Bicillin, thankfully my insurance covers it. It's been a very long and difficult road. I have no idea how long I'll be on them. It's a very real fear of the unknown, and failure since many lyme sufferers have to go through many trial and errors for recovery. I'm wondering too next month if she'll introduce a cyst buster, like Flagyl?

I take Chollera and Spurlina for a binder.

The first 2 weeks I did 1 tablespoon and drank half my body weight in ounces with water. It took a few days to feel feel stuff happen. Stay hydrated, please this is no joke! Water water water. Even though it's sea salt you need to keep an eye on your blood pressure. After 2 weeks all hell broke loose, I upped the salt to 1 and a half tablespoons with MASSIVE diarrhea ( don't tell me I didn't warn you, lol). If you've ever had a Colonoscopy procedure and did the prep drink the day before you'd know what I mean, this was actually worse than the Colonoscopy prep I did many years ago. As soon as I did the salt I went right to bed most days and laid there for a few hours. My face would burn. I can't say I did the detox everyday, but it was pretty close to it. They say adding in vitamin C is good, actually most people do this, this is the main ingredient next to the salt. Someone I knew used Turmeric as a substitute ( to better help counteract the inflammation). From what this person told me, it ultimately cured him when IM abx and picc lines didn't. We are all different. Good luck!

Sunflower, youre saying that you did the fast for 2 weeks straight? So a 14 day fast?! My max so far has been 5 days.

I always prefer the long answer

I did it for a total of 2 months ( again not everyday). I just couldn't handle the die- off anymore, and the excessive diarrhea. I was beginning to really dread the whole process and threw in the towel. Many people can't handle it, like me I think they start too fast. Some articles I read you need to start off very slow and *slowly* increase the salt, very small increments. I was just so desperate to get better and impatient.
