Starting Azithro Again

[smartyjones]

I just want to say that getting a ramp up of symptoms when starting Azith is a classic symptom of lyme and coinfections. This is called a herxheimer reaction, and it only happens with certain diseases. Azith is a widely used lyme treatment.

 

 

pacificmama - curious for your thoughts. when my son had the bad reaction with azith, i knew of a herx but believed it to be flu or cold-like symptoms. do you know what is typical with neurological/behavioral symptoms of lyme or is it mainly described with physical symptoms?

A herx is simply a worsening of existing symptoms, or a presentation of new ones. ABSOLUTELY, it can be all neuro/behavioral. I have been through this with my daughter. I decided to post a separate topic for others to see.

Hope things improve for your son soon.
