Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the Northern Hemisphere. It is now one of the fastest growing infectious diseases in the U.S. Lyme disease is caused by infection with the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, and is primarily transmitted to humans as well as dogs, horses and other domesticated animals by the bite of infected ticks.

Hi I am a newly diagnosed lymer. I started Doxicycline two days ago 100mg twice a day and today I noticed a burning sensation on my right tempel, exaggerated bell's palsy of my right eye and later in the day weakness and trembling of my right hand. Is this a herx (especially the trembling and weakness), or should I be going to the hospital?

I know most literature says a herx normally starts a week or two after starting treatment, but every time my daughter starts a new antibiotic, she starts herxing within a couple of days usually.
Well wishes!
Sounds like you are killing those buggers off, but make sure to connect with your Dr if any symptoms do not seem "right".
Hugs and wellness!
