Had a great day today- no weird brain feeling, no headache, no tinnitus, I had ENERGY omg what is that even??? And then......I ate chocolate. Just two squares. TWO SQUARES... Of dark chocolate with no sugar!!!!

Can't a girl have her chocolate?? Guess not. rolleyes

I tell you, if I were lucky enough to have all the positive things you experienced, I'd never eat chocolate again! smile

But...

Are you sure it was the chocolate?

True what a very lovely thing I experienced today ~ normalcy woo hoo!

I had a tiiiiny piece of chocolate that had herbs in it also, one of the herbs was pau d' arco BUT IT WAS SUCH A SMALL PIECE like half my pinkie finger....

Anyway, I'm hyper sensitive. But that makes me terrified to start treatment.
I think I'm gonna herx really badly.

Well, that was a small piece. Unless, of course, your hands are like André the Giant...

Although I'm probably not hyper-sensitive, I am definitely sensitive to things. So, to some degree, I understand your trepidation.

I guess it comes down to what's more worrisome: a possible reaction -or- possibly not getting better.

Just go slowly.

I'm likely being pedantic, but here are some articles on "herxing."

Honestly, most of the time, when I see the word "Herx," I want to jump out my window. The only reason I haven't is because I'm only high enough to sprain (possibly break) my ankle(s). Then, I'd be sick AND unable to walk. smile

I'm hypersensitive and I was eating a Theo 70% dark chocolate orange candy bar but now I'm eating pure cacao, organic and non-alkalized (same thing as cocoa) by "Holy Kakow".

I mix about 2 tsp cacao with 3/4 tsp organic, unrefined coconut oil and 3/4 tsp raw honey. It's like a melted chocolate bar. This goes with me better.

Boy, that 'melted chocolate bar' concoction sounds great.
