herx reaction

[bubblegum]

We can't get any meds into her.She is tired of choc ice-cream,pudding....She would only take pepto x1.Then tried tums and only did it x1.(Fruit flavor)and they don't taste bad.I don't know what else to do!

Gatito-

Is the vomiting a side efect from the Mepron? Or is it believed to be herxing from the Lyme? I recall you mentioning she vomited on the way to Dr. Jones appointment? Good Luck with the IVIG this week! Tell Louise about the vomiting, so she can give her extra fluids.

You are seeing Dr. Jones, correct? Call him in the morning. They may want you stop Mepron for 48 hours to confirm herxing. Once its confirmed (i.e. she gets better) they may have you decrease dosing to help with herxing response. I would also try epsom salt bath.... half of the container in hot tub for at least a half hour (might be too late this evening). Good luck and keep us posted.
