Need to vent

Oh you poor thing!!! I'm so very sorry, I know that the nerve herxes can be hard to get through! Hang in there.

Good thinking about the Epsom salt soak and lemon water. And a big YES on the Activated Charcoal - just remember, keep it 2 hours away from other meds & food.

You can start skin brushing - it really helps the body deal with the toxins!! It stimulates lymph fluid movement and helps to get those toxins out of your blood stream where they are causing so much havoc!

And do you have, or can you get coconut oil? Oil pulling has been my new favorite detoxing method that I still use daily. It pulls toxins from the mouth and head supposedly, but what I do know is I actually feel a difference.

Do you have or can you get anything like Neurotin from your doc? That helps some people's nerve pain.

I used Avena Sativa - wild oats in the milky stage in a tincture and that's what saved me when I was dealing with that stuff.

Unfortunately, herxing is as unique as the person and the treatments they will need to heal. My herxes always involved my gut to some extent and that lasted the longest, but it was always about how fast I could ramp up my detoxing as to how long I was going to have to suffer through the herx. So start now and get as many ways to detox into your routine as you can fit into your daily routine. You can always back down after this crisis has passed.

Your red rash could have been from so many things! It could have had something to do with these infections, or your deodorant, your laundry soap, or just anxiety.

Thanks Trav, i can always count on you for support and advice.

I am sorry you are in this pain. I know it's aggravating. My daughter has nerve pain and not much joint pain also. She's constantly moving her legs and feet and it affects her head too. I am sorry to hear you can't get the alka seltzer gold because it seems to be the only thing that works instantly for her. I hope some of the other things mentioned will help you get relief, as I have not tried them before.

Hi guys, im not really one to ask for help but I really need it today. Im just feeling awful. My nerves are feeling like they are so aggitated. I dont really get joint pain like others describe, but this nerve pain is so uncomfortable. It also makes my legs weak and feet numb. Im always cold and just wanna crawl outta my skin sometimes!!
I am only one month into treatment and have taken my share of sick days from work, thankfully my employer is understanding. Im going to take an epsom salt bath tonight after my dinner and meds and hope that will calm things down...for a while anyways. I know everyone is different but hiw long can one deal with this agonizing nerve stuff?

Also, i remember having a red rash under both armpits about a year ago. It lasted a few months but then disappeared. Any thoughts on that? Kinda looked like red scratches, not painful at all so of course I didnt go to the doc at the time. Maybe that was the start of all this?

Lemon water and baths are really my only detox methods currently. Im in Canada and cannot get the alka seltzer gold. I have some activated charcoal tabs...should i take some of these at night before bed?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hugs..

the red rash under arm pits sounds like interigo a b6 deficiency

Ugh, so sorry to hear this :( I have had neuropathy in my feet and hands, but other than that most of the pain has been in the joints and muscles, like a deep, heavy aching.

Have you tried Pinella? It is a brain/nerve cleansing herb. I take it regularly because I feel it does provide positive results, but it is getting expensive for me to take it that often! Many folks swear by it!

A red scratch type rash is usually associated with Bartonella. Are you treating for Bart?

And I have become a fan of the activated charcoal recently. I had been using D. Earth as my binder of choice before bedtime and then switched to AC. Ever since then it seems I have turned a corner. I still have some bad days, but the good days outnumber them.

Both AC and Pinella can be purchased on Amazon.

Eye issues can also be indicative of Bart...

Girlie! Yes the tingling and shivering throughout the body and into scalp is something that i get alot.

Thanks lyme mom, i was wondering about the bartonella thing with the rash i had. Do you know if the rash comes and goes. I had mine for a while but it dissapeared before treatment?

Yes, bart rashes can come and go, both before and during treatment. And they don't have to be red streaks or scratches.

I bought "Bartonella: Diagnosis and Treatment" by James Schaller, MD. It is chalk full of pictures and info. It also touches on lyme and babesia as well.

Yep, i feel like going postal! But thats because i cant get to sleep with this nerve issue. Ugh. You guys are great though. Thanks for chiming in. I wasnt diagnosef with bart just lyme and babesia. But the bab thing doesn't sound right to me

Many times co-infections "come out" from hiding once we start treatment for the other infections. So if you really feel you have Bart (many of us feel that you do! LOL!), then keep at it. If your doc refuses to treat it, either find one that will or treat it yourself so that you can heal and get your life back.
