Re: Re: nausea/vomiting

[Guest guest]

I have a really strong reaction to Banderol as well. I've only been able to get

up to 4 drops twice a day. I did go up to six drops at first and started herxing

really hard (very strong Parkinson's symptoms). I'm on A-BAB right now, so I

haven't tried it for about a month or so, but I felt that it did help. I take

much lower doses than is recommended of everything and I'm getting better,

slowly. I think some of us need to take lower doses. Are you sensitive to

coffee? If I drink one cup of coffee I'll be up most of the night. Drugs seems

to stay in me much longer than most people. I believe this has something to do

with the liver.

Best,

Connie

Hiya - I had recently started a protocol of 12.5 days Cat's Claw a day off in

between & then 12.5 days Banderol. The Banderol I have really struggled with &

moved up very slowly to increase the dose - stopping every time I got severe

head & neck pain. Eventually I made it up to 12 drops twice a day & then the

next morning awoke with the room spinning. That day I was sick in the hallway -

I tried to rush to the bathroom but my dizziness made it difficult to get there

in one piece so just collapsed on the floor! I decided to hold back on the

Banderol (had reached 12 days on it anyway). Bit by bit over three days the

dizziness & nausea subsided & now finally cleared. I'm not sure whether it was a

coincidence & just a stomach bug going around or not, but I reckon time will

tell when I go back on the Banderol next time!! Wish me luck

extreme nausea/daily vomiting a " normal " reaction to killing Lyme? Perhaps a

better way to put it is, how within normal limits is it?

have had some sudden bad episodes, some resembling the 'food poisoning'. Yes, I

think it may be toxin overload and it is best to back off for some time then,

try to detox and then start again.

I think folks like us just have to throw out the recommended target doses and

find out what our own dose is. I think it ends up working just as well as it

does for other folks at higher doses. Go with your instincts.

I gave up caffeine about 2 years ago as well as most gluten and sugar. I just

drink green tea now and not much of that. I starting feeling better once I

dropped those three things, but funny enough I started herxing as well. This was

about a year or so before I was diagnosed, so I didn't know I was herxing at the

time. It was so weird, in some ways I was feeling better and in some ways I

started feeling much worse. I think my immune system started to kick in and

started trying to help. Which sometime feels really bad!

Hi Connie - yeah, I always describe myself as an 'awkward' patient - I tend to

react to everything from antibiotics to painkillers to anti-imflammatries. What

a pain in the rear end! My mum's as bad so I must have inherited her 'sensitive

genes'. Coffee used to make me fall asleep with the cup still in my head -

really strange. It I take it too early it gives me awful tummy ache & too late

it will keep me awake too. I've gone caffeine free these days with herbals teas

or low caffeine green or white teas but I do have a weak spot for nescafe

cappucino mix which is probably full of naff stuff but that's my one daily treat
