Has anyone experienced herxing/possible seizure activity while trying to sleep at night near menstruation period (either before or after)? I seem to have really bad episodes at night and wake in the morning feeling as if I had been hit in the head, neck and shoulders with a bat. I am brain foggy during these mornings as well. What is going on and how do I stop it? I am thinking that maybe I am getting ready to detox or have detoxed and herxed(depending on the time of the bad episode in relation to my menses). I need to stop this from occuring. It is not good for me and causes me to break off parts of my molars in my sleep. This has been going on for at least five years now. I hope that menopause fixes this situation. But I do not want to wish menopause on myself! :-O

I'd suggest talking to your dentist about getting a mouth guard to wear while sleeping. This will protect your teeth.

Also, an integrative or naturopathic physician may be able to help with hormone balancing, which may improve this problem.

I think the bugs really like it during our monthly cycle, because the immune system takes a bit of a hit then.

Also, many bugs are attracted to or stimulated by the hormones involved.

I'm on a bit of a manganese/magnesium thing lately - you might want to google them within this forum. There may be some help in there for you.

The mouth guard sounds very smart. You can get basic ones at sporting goods stores - I don't know if they'd be useful.

Good luck.

Thank you for your response. I have tried bite guards. Somehow I end up clenching and grinding more. One biteguard had a great premise to not allow the molars to touch, however, it made my front teeth push outward.

I heard that taking oral magnesium feeds the spirochetes. Have you heard this? For some reason when I take oral Magnesium, my joints pop and crack a lot. I wonder why that is.

What benefits have you experienced from taking manganese? I am very interested in trying this myself. I will definitely google manganese and magnesium. Thanks again for your input.

Hi Razzle,
My OBGYN said that I had balanced hormones. Do you think that I need to seek out a LLMD who is an OBGYN? I became aware of the the monthly difficulties while working with someone in a nursing home( I was a support specialist and helped this person by giving them hand over hand help to complete tasks that needed to be carried out). Like her my health began to plummet very close to my periods each month like clockwork. Very odd. She could have seizures during the day. I do not have that; but have some sort of episodes at night and I wake up with my body and jaw contorted.

My journey toward health continues.
