[Guest guest]

I live in Southern California and experienced my first severe Herx

reaction this week, which wound me up in the emergemcy room By the

time I got there, I was severely dehydraded, catanonic and herxing

every 30 to 40 minutes. My doc also said I was having geigchers, or

something like that. it was absolute hell and I wasn't sure that I

woild survive it. The hospital (Hoag In Orange county California)

doesn't see many lyme paitents, and the probagly thought I was

faking it. Anwyay, they hydraded me and tried to make me as

comfortable as possible. Eventually, like about 7 hours later, it

started getting better. Personally, I thought I was goign to die.

I'm here to tell you that I didn't, but it totally upsets me, even

more so now, that some doctors say this doesn't exist. Wait until

they or a family member get it. They will change their tune.

Anyway, if anyne has encouragement for a newbie who is insure she'll

make it all the way to the end.

My last question is this: How the heck can someone possibly work

with this disease? I kept my husband home for the worst two days, to

take care of me, but I have to go bak to work some day and I'm

really worried. Thank you

Thanks for any informative works.
