Update on latest Rife Usage
Hi Everyone:
I've used my rife machine twice now. The first time I reported that I thought I was herxing with fatigue. I used it again last Wednesday and felt extremely fatigued yesterday. Yesterday in the afternoon, I started having pain in my toes and my hands. I not sure I would call it joint pain, but when my toes hurt, it almost feels like they are burning for a few minutes and then it goes away.
When my lyme first became active, my fee (mostly my toes) were one of the first things that hurt. I was also majorly fatigued yesterday, slept 12 hours last night and still had to pull myself out of bed. I guess I could be considering this a herx. However, I did the rife on Wednesday and yesterday was Saturday...that is three days apart...???
I'll be honest, I'm getting a little nervous about doing the rife and abx at the same time and am not sure what I'm going to do. I do think that if these are herxes that I am experiencing, that they are definitely more severe than I have felt with the ABX.. I have also been using my far infrared sauna.
I KNOW I KNOW....slow and steady wins the race. I'm going to talk to my LLMD about all this on the 22nd when I see him, tell him about my rife and my sauna and see what he says. I'll let you all know.
Just wanted to keep everyone updated on how the rife was working out. I'm going to not use the rife again most likely for at least another week or until I feel a little better.
Can anyone tell me if they have experienced this kind of "toe" pain with lyme?
Take care everyone!!!

I have an infared sauna also and this in itself wipes you out good. These are suppose to be great for Lyme, however. My LLMD advised me that Lyme hates the heat and the sauna can help ward off bacteria and viruses. You are smart to wait a couple of days before using the Rife again. Try to get some rest if your body is calling for it though.
Hi All,
Well It's Monday and I am still very very fatigued but the pain in my toes that I had for the last several days is now gone. My hands also feel better today. I am going to wait until probably at least Wednesday or Thursday before trying the Rife again because I am pretty sure it combined with my sauna use is causing me to herx.
I wish so bad that I could take the day off from work but unfortunately, I cannot. I'd rather just slip back into bed with a good book and drift off to sleep....okay, WAKE UP CARRIE!
Have a good day everyone!

Yes, I have toe and foot pain. My Lyme symptoms began with a stiff neck and then it went to my toes and fingers. At first it was just a strange kind of vague pain and then later it became more pronounced joint pain or arthirtis. I think this is a common symptom with Lyme.
Thank you for the report on the Rife machine. I hope you feel better.

Hi Carrie,
This is the 2nd time I'm posting this cuse I guess the last one didn't post =( ugh.
Anyway.... I do get warm to hot sensations at the bottom of my feet like a heating pad almost, I also get piercing pains throughout my feet, and worst of all I get such bad piercing pains in the top outer corners of my big toes it feels like someone is trying to cut them off..... I don't know if that relates to yours or not.

Will look forward to your LLMD's views on Rife.
About toe pain -- no, but I had sore feet when I think I was first infected about 10 years ago with a mild case of Lyme after wandering around the countryside in tick territory. I thought my arches were falling from wearing bad shoes or something, but esp in the mornings when I first got up, I'd hobble around something awful. It would get better after a while, but still was vaguely annoying. Bought fancy shoe inserts to support my arches, but didn't seem to help. Only much much later did I read that Lyme can do that to your feet.
Toe and finger joints are so tiny, have so many moving parts and take such a beating every day that I'm not surprised they act up when there is inflammation and swelling (even if only mild) resulting from Lyme and/or die off.
When I got (re)infected a couple of years later, sore feet were the least of my problems.
Looking forward to your post-doc update!
