I’m on week 6 of a new protocol and I feel like I’m herxing. I have my main “herxing” symptoms plus increased all over weakness/fatigued muscles. It’s an extreme feeling and is very scary. I tried contacting the clinic but since it’s the weekend I haven’t heard back. I’m currently on Zhangs Protocol. Anyone else experience this?

The main infections I’m being treated for are Lyme and Bartonella.

Could be part of herxing for you, yes.

Also could you have had a virus at some point recently? Post-viral reactions can feel like that.

And/or are you pushing yourself to function normally through these herxes? Sounds like adrenal fatigue to me.

Lower your doses, get lots of rest, don't push yourself at all physically, drink water. Hope it passes quickly!

Yes, I was wondering if I caught something myself. It’s hard to know for sure. I was definitely herxing. The fatigue is slowly improving. I think it was just part of my herx. It was different that my typical herxes so it was scary. Plus with the neuropathy I was hoping my muscles weren’t being affected due to that.

Yes, I do push myself. I actually started my adrenal support back around the time I wrote this. I also slowly tapered off my metoprolol because it can make the fatigue worse. I get POTS, SVT so i need to tell my doctor and restart it if needed. It’s a very low dose.

I’ve been resting a lot, detoxing, water, I lowered the dose and slowly am upping it again.

Thanks again! It’s improving. The symptoms are scary, but anything intensified or New is always concerning, this disease messes with our heads 🤪

I’m sure since I work part time it doesn’t help. I’m still really sick. I’ll try to rest more on my days off. I do but I also push myself a lot and don’t always listen when my symptoms act up.

Thanks for the good advice 😊

I agree with Saraeli! Rest as much as you can. Go slowly, take lots of breaks and listen to your body.
