I think I get it now…

[Devie]

Yesterday I took my daughter to get a dress for graduation.  I was wearing my god awful flip flops with zero support.  By the time we got to the third store (try buying a dress for under $20) my feet started to hurt.  So at this store, I picked up a cheapo pair of sandles that had some support, and took some advil.  I felt better and off we went to 4 more stores and scored at this last one.  I walked and walked and walked.  Then came home, made dinner etc etc.

By the time I got in bed last night my feet were screaming.  But thats not all- I woke up in the middle of the night and everything hurt!  Bad!  My feet, hands, elbows, knees- everything- was just on fire.  And then I got it- I am having a herx!  I feel happy in a strange kind of way.  It means I am getting better but this cannot be because I walked too much because its all over.

I have been wondering and wondering about my AP/herxing etc.  I think I get it now.  Your thoughts?

Well, I just started the MP some weeks ago, and the same thing happened to me last night.  I took a slightly higher dose of mino that morning, and last night I hurt ALL OVER.  That is completely different than my usually palindromic pattern.  I kind of freaked out, but I think that it is a good sign, provided it doesn't go on too long or involve too much swelling.  But I am just trying to figure it out, too.

I have to add you are not alone. I had EXACTLY the same thing happened to me. I've been on minocycline for 3 weeks now. This Saturday, after cleaning up the house, I loaded/unloaded a full van of recycle stuff, a lot of lifting….. then I took my daughter to get her shoes in the mall, we were there for almost 4 hours, after I got home, I made the big dinner for every one….

At 12:00 AM, I woke up with severe pain all over my body…. my feet, every where…. were burning hurt. I could hardly lift my arms, legs…. I could hardly move…. I thought EXACTLY the same thing like you…. “Could this be herxing or I overdid it????? “

I am still in a lot of pain but today I feel a lot better. Please tell me —- my activities triggered an exaggerated herxing effect

---

am I correct?

Hi gorgeous!

It's just two step forward and one back.  It could be just a lot of baddies were hit at one time.  Or you overdid it because you pushed a bit to far and aren't back to full tilt again.  Stupid diseases don't realize we have kids and have to keep moving.
