I am herxing now, but I have not always herxed on diffrent abx - also herxes are so varied - joint herxes are more obvious nut neuro herxes can be less so b/c if you get serious depression for a spell you wonder if its that or just b/c you have this crappy illness - i did the LLMD thing for years - i did 1.5 years of IV's combined with orals at 12K/mo and after my picc was finally pulled b/c I became septic( nurse didnt follow protocol when changing dressing) I relapsed within 1 month despite being on 5 different oral abx.....now I am off all IV's for 6 mos and have been trying the marshall protocol - so far no relpase nad herxes are noticeable but tolerable. I was so sick as soon as I took teh BEnicar teh pain melted away! Now it comes in teh form of herxes but again - maneagble unlike when I have full blown Lyme. Even if you do not have Lyme and have "fibro" a cop-out dx IMHO - this protocol treats for that as well! So YAY! I wouldnt discount this LLMD - he is I am sure aware of this treatmnet and may be more open to it than other drs. Also without Benicar in the MP many wont herx much or at all with ABX alone.

) Best wishes - whatver you have Lyme or Fibro - I belive can be beaten and a healthy life awaits.
