How to avoid a Herxheimer reaction, or how to minimize one so that you can survive it without going crazy:
Do the pulsing method. Basically what that means is you don't take the antibiotic every day. You can be flexible. Some examples...3 days on, 2 days off; 2 days on, 3 days off; 4 days on, 3 days off.
The pulsing method accomplishes several things:
1. It gives your body some time off to catch up and clean out death and debris of dead organisms.
2. Lyme bacteria are slow growing so taking a few days off does not slow down recovery.
3. Pulsing makes the antibiotics more effective and can generate harsh Herxheimer reactions. That's why it's good to take some days off to rest and clean out. The bacteria are smart. They go into hiding when under threat. And then your antibiotic doesn't work because they're hiding. When you take days off, the bacteria sense safety and they come out. And then you nuke them again. It's sort of like peeling layers of an onion. One at a time.I'm starting to wonder if I am only well if I am on antibiotics. ??? it seems that might be. Maybe. Maybe not. I'm pretty stable and fairly normal, certainly not depressed or treatment-resistant or anything like I used to be, when I'm on antibiotics. But things can so south when I'm off. I recently stopped one of them. So we'll see.
