Well here I am in the 10th pulse of flagylⁱ. I am tighter than ever and my right hand is somewhat constantly tight. (I can stil type my writing is pretty sloppy off and on but still functional. It gets worse in the couple hours after taking doxyⁱ) my left hand is a little tight on outer perimeter. Walking pretty stiffy and short distances but still getting about . Not using cane particularly except keeping in car for extreme heat and balance. The heat does not help. I still get a feverish feeling after taking 200mg of doxy. I still get fevr and exhausted after flagyl. Mt urine is dark brown with flagyl still. But the funny thing is I feel pretty damn good otherwise i mean people keep tellingme how great i look if I was wasn't wobbling hobbling and ocaisonally swerving to the right or sometimes left I'd be looking good. My feet still swell and get cold purplish off and on I think a lot has to do with restricted mobility. The urinary urgency sometimes great sometimes sucks. my eyesight is still great, my left ear keeps clogging up and I have to hold nose blow to pop it. ihave no idea why. I sleep after abxⁱ to avoid crappy feelings. The rifamp doesn't elicit any fevrish response but does increase tightness for an hour.  No more diarhea, no real hedaches or pain. Just lots of inflammationⁱ/ tightness . When does the tightness fade? I am sad not to be able too to run around at the pool and enjoy summer oh well. barbara
