Re: herx or worsening symptoms?

[Guest guest]

From your description i would think that this is probably herxing. i am not

a doctor.  i am basing my judgement on 8 years of suffereing with chronic lyme

 

i always feel worse when im doing a protocl whether it herbal,antibiotic or

soemthing else.   now im on an herbal protocol just for the erciletta(spelled

wrong

but it is a lyme pathogen) and im sick daily  sometimes its.loss of memory,

fatigue but generally always like ive been hit by a train

 

when i go off for a few days the intensity of the symtoms reduces.

hope this helps and best to you.this lyme thing is really awful  joe

how do i tell the difference between a herx and worsening symptoms?

i'm up to cat's claw 2gm, knot weed 800mg, and adrographis 600mg four times per

day.

i'm also taking pregnenalone, DHEA, vitamins, glucosamine and chondroitin, milk

thistle, CoQ10, digestive enzymes, probiotics, ziac (a beta blocker), celexa,

clonazepam and low dose naltrexone.

i was having a really bad headache but increased my milk thistle to 1250mg x 2 a

day and that has helped. what is happening now is the side of my face with

cranial nerve palsy is hot, flushed, and having cramps. i can't take stephania

because i am on beta blockers although i am seeing my doctor tomorrow to see if

we can change that.

does this sound like herx? or is the nerve damage getting worse? thanks!

thanks, i forgot to add that i am also very irritable. but in some ways i am

doing better too. i know i can think better. i am more awake. and i can

comprehend reading which has been a bad problem for me for about 7 years. i did

6 months of antibiotics which i finished up about a year ago.
