Guest guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I herxed pretty quickly within 30-60 minutes generally. I also did Bolouke as a cyst buster though. Without a cyst buster of some sort, I didn't herx much. Make sure it's the proper kind of Bicillin as well- I can't remember if it needs to be LA- or CR, but a good LLMD will know. Make sure to inject the med very slowly, and per doctor instructions. Done incorrectly, the medicine can just form a sterile cyst- meaning it doesn't get absorbed by the body. Proper technique for injection is key. For some people, herxes are more cyclical- a week per month or something like that. Everyone's bugs and bodies are different. My herxes were kind of all the time the first few months, with a few good days here and there. Eventually the good days outweighed the bad, and finally, injections had no effect on me. I also had heavy Bartonella which Bicillin didn't do much for if I recall correctly.Best of luck to you.

How long do you have to be getting these before there should be a herx from this indicating that it is working? So far, nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I am getting Bicillin CR 1.2 million units and administered by a nurse in a clinic. But since I am not getting a reaction so far I am wondering if this is strong enough? Took bottles of samento and banderol before starting abx with no reaction either. Is Bolouke an rx? I think I'd better get something else going fast so this is not a big waste. Since I don't think I have herxed before, would I be looking for a headache to indicate whether or not this is working? Thank you. > > > I herxed pretty quickly within 30-60 minutes generally. I also did Bolouke as a cyst buster though. Without a cyst buster of some sort, I didn't herx much.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Wow! The same timing. Please keep me posted on any developments with this. My LLMD said it could be an even more intensive therapy than the IV abx. I am going to get my CD57 etc. retested in 6 weeks. > > > > Just started IM Bicillin twice weekly injections.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 I have a positive for Lyme so is it concerning that after two injections within one week so far I do not feel a thing? As in, it is not working? > > > > > > Just started IM Bicillin twice weekly injections.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 What I have seen in posts concerning antibiotics, is that die-off starts between 3 and 6 weeks, but there will always be variances. I have seen some report that they never got die-off until they used things for biofilm or rather treated protozoa first. Then there are some that theorize that if one has a super great detox ability, their body will be able to handle the die-off efficient enough to not notice it. Unfortunately, bacteria in general can mutate at any time, and be resistant to certain antitbiotics; therefore, there will be no die-off since the Lyme isn't dying. There are also other variances and reasons, but most seem to report die-off 3-6 weeks into treatment. Love and prayers, Heidi N I have a positive for Lyme so is it concerning that after two injections within one week so far I do not feel a thing? As in, it is not working?
