I appreciate all your patience with me.

I am trying to figure out what is causing my current symptoms based on patterns. If you have any patterns to report let me know. Time of day and length of time ( days weeks/ months/ years) consistency???

Do mold symptoms come and go throughout the dAy???
Do the infections symptoms come and go'
I know Lyme does...

I've had anx/ dep symptoms last for over a year but are mostly in the morning.
In the past Things like twitching and joint issues had a very different pattern. More Lymie.

( I have confirmed lyme. But possibly beat that back awhile ago with herbs as I went through symptom free period. And neuro these symptoms are different from my earlier ones.)

So before I treat with heavy ABX i want to be sure I am targeting the right thing. I have tested urine for mycotoxins and was positive for ochratoxin A at 15.
My symptoms fit mold, Bart and Lyme and heck maybe thyroid.

But maybe the pattern is telling.

Symptoms then patterns:

Anxiety and depression upon waking for about 4- 6 hours . ( this week more severe meaning as low as you can possibly go visualizing things to end it for family/ crying / despondant)

Brain fog soon after waking.



My PATTERN with these symptoms are they come upon waking and lessen throughout day.
And I've had the anx / dep for a year and half.

Then my more recent non pattern symptoms :
Occasionally;
nausea and burping
Proprioception issues - may go with back issues.
Neck back out- chiro helps
Sore neck lymph node- every couple months
Occular migraine - every couple months in pairs
Floaters occasionally
Eye sockets mildly sore upon waking occasionally

I was in hammock other day for two hours. That night I had rocking sensation in bed for couple hours.

I was a very moldy person who tested positive only for Lyme and ehrlichia and had lifelong signs of bartonella and possibly babesia. For the majority of the time since my sickest period started 5 years ago up until this year after starting TUDCA Plus, my symptoms were all over the place and caused tremendous confusion and mental strain.

I believe the reason why is because so much of my symptoms apparently are gut related. I may have yeast or mold in my gut that produces toxins to which my immune system reacts like a nut in addition to toxins in the environment. I had some improvements with Rx antifungals, but the addition of TUDCA Plus was a game changer for me. It somehow reduces my inflammatory responses.

Additionally, my latest addition of intermittent dosing of ADP Oregano seems to have improved and stabilized something in my gut, UNLESS hormone changes are the cause of my improvements. (I really hope it’s not hormones, because I have no control over those.)

However, if I start back on herbs/supplements that hit parasites or yeast/fungal gut pathogens, I can expect flares/herxes to follow.

I have heard many others speak of the morning anxiety, but I don’t know what causes it. I only had it mildly and only when I was taking Mimosa pudica for parasites, so I am thinking it may be babesia/parasites/protozoans. Of course, if you are sleeping near mold, mold could also be a possible cause and it could wear off during the day if you’re in away from the bed/bedroom. If you are bedridden and never leave the bedroom, then I would assume infections are the cause.

Morning anxiety is real! Usually that is my most panicky time.

Also, if you don’t already, track the moon cycles. I use Moon Giant’s website. Any will do.

I have significantly worse fatigue, brain fog, swollen glands, and panic attack feelings around the new moon. And heart palps and POTS flare bad around the full moon.

I charted my symptoms for a few years now. I am mostly better now, but when I was at my worst symptoms would flare about every 4 weeks or so. After I charted my symptoms for a few months and compare to the moon cycle it was apparent that the moon 28 day cycle appeared to have no effect on my 28 symptom cycle.

My hypothesis was the 28 life cycle of either borellia, bart, or ehrlichia. Maybe the flares were a product of the active replication cycle of the microbe...

I am happy to share the chart with anyone that would like to see it. Kinda dorky, but kinda cool if you are the analytical type like me.

“ My hypothesis was the 28 life cycle of either borellia, bart, or ehrlichia. Maybe the flares were a product of the active replication cycle of the microbe...“

I think bart and Babs have shorter life cycles than lyme.
(Hours/days vs weeks)

I think you are right. I think I remember reading a few things about Borellia having a 28 day cycle with about 6-8 days of active replication followed by about 20-22 days of less activity / dormancy. However, you do not see this in a lot of places. I only remember seeing it a few places in the scientific articles/ reserch. Not sure if that indicates it may not be a thing or if nobody is really bothering to look at or study it deeply.

I think the latter... Wouldn't it be nice if they ramped up research? I bet Covid-19 research resources spent in the last 2 months probably outweigh what was spent on Borrelia over the past 5 years combined. So sad...
