alternative to actos (for herx reactions)

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone- Does anyone in the group have any experience with actos?

I was prescribed it for herx reactions and went to fill it and found

it to be very expensive (over $400). My insurance won't authorize it

but said that they would cover " metformin glipizide " instead. I know

actos is used for something else (diabetes, i think). I'm wondering

if this other drug would necessarily work as well for herx reactions.

Curious if anyone knew.

Also, would love to hear from anyone that found relief in other forms

from herx reactions. After my last rife treatment I had such severe

herx reactions, I probably needed to go to the ER but was not

confident they could help. How do you know whether to go and what do

you tell them? Nobody at Scripps seems to know anything about TBD's

so what could they do to help? Due for another treatment tomorrow so

I'm trying to prepare. Any suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks!
