Herxheimer Reaction
We have noticed that initially patients may worsen. This is caused by a Herxheimer reaction. This is due to an increase in circulating bacterial particles and toxins, which promote an antigenic reaction that produces an intense inflammatory response. This can provoke flu like symptoms, increased arthralgias, myalgias, depression, fatigue, poor memory and concentration with increased reactive .
