herx or worsening symptoms?

[Guest guest]

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!
