You're only two days from a strong reaction, so I would guess your current symptoms are still your body working that out. When you are in a very reactive state, it can take a very long time to get back to a baseline. Even months sometimes. Two days is definitely not enough time to return to baseline. I know patience is excruciatingly hard sometimes, but try to be patient.
Hyper-reactive people definitely should not push through anything. Other folks can, which makes this confusing, but people are different. If your hyper-reactivity is due to MCAS, then pushing can lead to anaphylaxis or reactions that take months to resolve. I have ended up in the ER from herxes and pushing through things that less sensitive people can tolerate easily. Most of the protocols people on this forum use would have put me in the hospital in a day. I also could handle more at the beginning of my illness, and got gradually more reactive over time, which felt confusing and frustrating. Pushing can be dangerous for some of us.
Are you worried that something bad will happen if you take a genuine break and start at truly minimal doses? Please know that I do not say this as a challenge, but I'm genuinely asking, because you post about
being highly sensitive, and you consistently get advised to back off treatments, take breaks, go very slowly, etc., why do you keep trying new things at significant doses? Are you hoping you will find something you don't react to?
I have been in a condition in which ingesting things made me feel worse, regardless of what it was. Gentle things, things no one else reacts to, detox remedies, calming herbs, etc. all made me feel worse because my body was hyper-reactive. It took me a very long time to understand that I needed to stop ingesting things and give my body a break. Fellow tick-borne illness sufferers and my LLMDs did not understand the level of reactivity I was describing because it is atypical.
I know I have mentioned the Neil Nathan book Toxic and how attention to MCAS, including the practice of limbic system retraining, was all that helped me get out of that hyper-reactive state and regain my functionality. I also really felt seen, finally, reading about
other highly sensitive patients who have regained their health. It would be worth reading just to see how differently folks with this degree of reactivity need to treat themselves.
If you are highly reactive to ingested treatments, then do not take a capsule of anything.
open the capsule, touch the tiniest bit of powder to your tongue, and wait a day before taking anything else. Take a day off, then do it again. If you're okay, then start doing it every day. After four or so days, do the same thing, only twice per day. Work up to a tenth of a capsule, then an eight, etc. (Tinctures are way easier in this regard.) This is what it means to introduce something gradually when you are highly sensitive. You may never be able to tolerate a full capsule of something, even if the "standard dose" is several capsules per day. You are not standard, at least not right now, and probably not any time soon. Let go of what you think you ought to be able to do or what other people do, since your body is not responding in the typical ways. I know how difficult that is because I had to do it, too!
Most highly reactive people need to get the reactivity under control before they take anything that is antimicrobial. Getting reactivity under control should be your top priority (according to Nathan and based on my experience). That will allow you to tolerate the antimicrobials you need later on. If ingesting things is an issue for you, then start with a strict low-histamine diet, good hydration, low exertion, genuine stress management and mental health support, and perhaps an app (Curable, Headspace, etc.) or practice (mindfulness, Gupta, DNRS, etc.) that regulates the immune and nervous systems. A treatment like acupuncture or craniosacral therapy can be a wonderful relief. You have options, even if all the supplements you try aren't tolerable right now.
