Lumbrokinase triggering burning muscle pain? Bart?

Hi all, I’ve recently developed a peculiar new symptom and was wondering if anyone had any insights.

I’ve never actually been diagnosed with Lyme (&co) but suspect it may be a factor in my chronic illness as some years ago I was bedbound for weeks with a summer ‘flu’ that nobody else in my household caught when I was an otherwise healthy teenager.

about 10 weeks ago, I took some lumbrokinase (Boluoke) for 3-4 weeks for a recurring infection that was no longer responding to antimicrobials alone. It worked really well, but a couple of weeks into taking it I started to get these migrating, burning muscle (and to a lesser extent joint) pains. These persisted - with better and worse days - after I stopped the lumbrokinase. Now my recurring infection is back so I reintroduced the lumbro, and 48 hours in the intensity of my muscle pains have just exploded.

They’re very peculiar. They never stay in one place for longer than 5-30 minutes at a time - for example I can get a pain in my calf for ten minutes, and then not have any calf pain again for several days. And they often only affect a small area (e.g. an inch square) as opposed to the whole muscle. They affect my arms, legs, hands, feet, and neck/collarbone area. And they feel ‘hot’ subjectively although the skin is a normal temperature.

Is it possible the lumbro has opened some tick borne disease related Pandora’s box? Aside from a low dose of Serrapeptase, it is my first time taking a biofilm breaker that works systemically.

A first degree family member has just been diagnosed with autoimmune myositis, so of course I’m panicking about that! But my symptoms behave very differently to theirs.

Thanks for you reply!

I have only ever taken one cap every other day (so 20mg), aside from yesterday and the day before where I took one on both days.

I am not currently trying to treat Lyme (and was very much hoping to avoid using the lumbro as I was worried about a Pandora’s box). I am instead treating a multitude of other chronic infections and dysbiosis in my GI tract, with a view to going after possible Lyme once my GI immune system function has been restored.

as Loski mentions - its hard to comment without knowing the other things you are taking or the history etc -

but it sounds like herx of some sort to me - or possibly something waking up a part of the immune system
this would fit well with taking lumbrokinase while also treating with antimicrobials ( which causes the strongest reactions ) i found Lumbrokinase very powerful - so much so i had t stop taking 1 capsule a day after only 3 days

i have had very similar symptoms to those you describe from biofilm agents like xylitol - often after a delay of a few days or a week from starting them and coming and going for some time after i stopped. Very bizarre for something which most people without infections can take pretty freely with no ill effects

i have also had migrating pains very much like you describe - but moving around every minute or so - while ramping up on LDN and some way into my treatment - LDN is supposed to reactivate suppressed immune function - so its possible something similar is happening
