feeling yucky today
Morning all~
Well yesterday was a day from H_________. I felt the herx coming on and it really knocked me through a loop. Was up most of the night with feeling terrible, sweaty, pain, rib soreness the whole nine yards. By early this morning, felt much better but----it's really tough when those hit.
I know that herx's are a sign of the meds working and healing. Sometimes it feels like it would be better being run over by a truck.
Just wanted to vent since those herx's like all of you know are really scarry and feel like back to square one. Some of the symptoms that are waning come back in full force.
Does anyone know of a support group in the Washington DC area for lyme?
Have a good one. JKV

hi, I think I remember reading on 'charcoal' helping with herx. not heard about 'parsley' - I should think that eating fruit & veg. is a good idea . Also adding lemon juice to drinking water.
Also - if you can manage it - some form of excersise/movement is good - just keeps things on the move.
I hope you are coping o.k.
take care - gorbs x

Thanks for your insight on the herxing I heard of drinking plenty of water but not the epsom salts.
Have you ever heard of using activated charcoal, parsley to help with the herxing?

glad to hear you felt a bit better by the morning - I know it can feel like 'h....l! - but many people say the 'herxing' isn't so intense as treatment continues - I guess that makes sense if the 'bacterial' load is being reduced with the 'herxing'
Remember to help your body 'detox' - drink plenty of water - use 'epsom salts' in the bath - etc; - try not to get constipated ! [as I have researched] - often emptying the bowels helps a great deal with 'herxing'
It sounds like the treatment is working - best wishes
