Re: Mental herxes-meltdown and crying?

October 27, 2011

Not so bizarre really. Hubby does it especially around waxing moon/full moons. He doesnt know why, how to control it or stop even. Almost like the opposite of lyme rage sort of thing. Do you feel anything when it happens? Sadness, anxiety.... just wondering because hubby cannot even pin point a particular emotion when "it" happens. So be rest assured, you are not alone with this. Some LLMDs suggest its due to toxin load in cns...just a side thought.Blessings, BiancaConnected by DROID on Verizon Wireless Mental herxes-meltdown and crying? Hi, Yesterday was a rough day! When I woke-up I did nothing but cry--and could not stop. I also had lots of sinus drainage, mental fog and felt horrible. I remember now- I did this about a week ago then felt a lot better. Luckily I had a appt. with my homeopath and she helped me through it. Big help! Then she cut down my immune system supports for the 2nd time, she feels between the MMS (20-22 daily) and doing some (mms-baths 30 drops) that I need to backed off a bit and that my immune system is getting stronger She is also adjusting my detox supports. I take this as good news.. I'm a bit nervous....but I'm cutting back on the MMS for a few to detox a bit more and wait for my new remedies to help clear stuff out. Does/has anyone gotten the mental-crying episodes as part of a big herxe? I have done this twice now. It's like an uncontrollable crying and honestly its like I can't stop and I don't know why its happening. Its bizarre! Jodie L.

Hi Jodie,There are lots of reasons, mostly chemical/toxin, for the depression, anxiety and insomnia that Lyme can bring. Detox is very important, and anything you can take to bind up toxins, ammonia, and metals is essential, but here's something that REALLY helped me mentally,(besides understanding that it wasn't me, my true self, but some physical process going on in my body).I was continually awakening to an abyss of negativity in the night and in the morning, with despair, anxiety, and frankly, a continuing wish to die. Someone in one of the groups had benefitted from Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). In the history of China, docs weren't paid until their patients found relief, so they developed herbal remedies that would balance at the most fundamental level (rather than treating symptoms), and that this balance would usually be established in a month or so. Unfortunately, with Lyme, what the Chinese call 'Toxic Fire', the causes of imbalance go on and on, so a mere month won't do it, but the little teapills will make a tremendous difference for many people if taken regularly. They certainly did for me and I continue to take them daily and always make sure that i've got at least a month's worth stocked ahead.I started taking An Shen Bu Xin Wan (some brands might call it Soothwell) and within 2 weeks the depression, anxiety and mental darkness had lifted noticeably. Others recommended Free and Easy Wanderer, a.k.a. Relaxx, as something that would augment the Bu Xin. They were right, and unlike western anti-depressants, they don't quit on you after a while, and there are no black box warnings of completely opposite effects, like suicide.Some reputable brands: Min Shan, Beijing Tong Ren Tang,Plum Flower, KGS. Some reputable sites from which to order: morningstarhealth.com chineseherbsdirect.comuncleyap.comUnfortunately, some brands discontinue production or shipment from time to time, which threw me into panic until I finally connected with uncleyap.com which, in addition to lots of helpful info on the site, had a phone#! This is usually answered by Rudolph Yap, a very knowledgeable and helpful guy who has helped me continue to get quality products at a good price. (not everything coming out of China is good or safe, but I've come to trust this site and this man)The other things that made a difference for me were Lithium Orotate (not aspartate) and, for mopping ammonia in the brain, Source Natural's K-Mag Kg. These have returned me to my positive, proactive self, and with Lyme, attitude is everything.Hope something here helps.Be well,Léna Hi, Yesterday was a rough day!

Bianca and lena,

Thank-you for your responses! I can tell you that it didn't feel like a

depression state....Their was anxiety at time but was just like one major

let-loose crying sessions and a lot of mental fog and sinus drainage etc. Just

an unraveled feeling...that wouldn't stop! I was told that homeopathy can bring

out suppressed emotions as well. It has happened to me twice this last time

being the worse.

I do think a lot had to due with the amount of immune supports I was on,

bringing stuff up to quickly and pushing pretty hard with the MMS together.

I am on homeopathic stuff for anxiety and " feel-good " serotonin help. They have

helped a lot and most nights sleep well except on occasion. I do however like

the suggestions and will save them! The ammonia-mop up...I haven't tried and

maybe an issue! I think the detox changes she has made with help as well. Many

thanks, Jodie L.
