Yes, it can cause brain inflammation. Sometimes it's a build-up of ammonia.

My LLMD did tell me that.

When I was herxing bad on the Bartonella protocol, I had pressure behind my eyes, confusion, and my scalp was sore to touch (along with several other symptoms)

How long have you been off it now? It can take awhile to resolve.

ie. a few weeks sometimes for me.

I was instructed to take LOLA - not sure if it helped.

Also - Taurine, Curcumin, Quercetin.
I do think the Quercetin was working but I ended up with bruises on my toes...at the same time I was taking it.
could be coincidence.

Mexlyme yes! Flair or herx can cause information. My symptoms are mainly nuero. My pressure is in the front of my head. With that pressure comes psych symptoms. I worry about starting and because. On herbals I was close to driving my self to the hospital due to crazy thoughts. I feel alot of the infection is in my CNS. The lemon water does work as well as charcoal.

Can you focus on detoxing? Lemon water, warm epsom salt baths (my favorite), activated charcoal,
Also focusing on detox and also resting.....makes me feel somewhat better - as I know I'm actively doing something.


It could take a little while longer....hang in there.. Been there so many times....

Mex,sorry you are dealing with this, neuro symptoms are the worst. Like others said detoxing also helps me the most, using a sauna, Burbur pinella and binders. Also try to remind yourself that you have had good days before and you will have good days again, hope this helps.

It is actually the inflammation that causes the herx.
