I think Flagyl has "set into motion" a pity party

i started flagyl today and an hour after taking it my attitude started changing and i have done nothing but cry since i took it.....i must have had a cyst in my emotions cause they have busted all over the place...lol...does flagyl make you emotional?...im having a terrible herx from it but my emotions are like tore up from the floor up.....im going to try and stay thankful because feeling like this ...is just what those bugs needed...but im kinda feeling like a casualty of war...and had to erase alot of my words in this post because i had written them backwards....is this normal?

Btw. Flagyl is very powerful and lethal to the critters. I cannot handle too much Flagyl at one time because of it. If it gets too much, back off until your body can catch up!!

haha thanks guys.....but what b supplement r u talking about?....thanks yazzer on letting me know we detox through our emotional state....im a blubbering idiot right now...i laugh then cry ...laugh then cry...and i jus took my second.... one about an hour ago...and my legs...omygah...they hurt so bad...and still writing my words backwards...what the heck....yup...flagyl is doing something for sure ..i havnt been this messed up in a while...but im going to make it....

Just a Vitamin B complex

I use a mega-mega B-complex vitamin supp, and Flagyl still knocks me for a loop! I can only take it for several days at a time! I am guessing it's because I have a lot of cyst form Lyme due to many years of infection. Slow, steady, progress works well...

Peacesoul, I will be starting Flagyl soon. Did it hurt your stomach? - Is that why it almost killed you or was there another reason?

This from abstracts on pubmed:

Grapefruit Seed Extract is a Powerful In Vitro Agent Against Motile and Cystic Forms of Borrelia
burgdorferi Sensu Lato

Infection. 2007 Jun;35(3):206-8. Brorson O, Brorson SH.

Lyme borreliosis , caused by B. burgdorferi sensu lato, may lead to long-term tissue infection, which may be difficult to cure. The outcome of Lyme borreliosis is highly dependant on the antibiotic treatment . The observation of the ability of B. burgdorferi sensu lato to convert (and reconvert) to cystic forms [3–5] may explain why the infection sometimes is persistent and reactivating.

Therefore, it might be important to eradicate all germative forms (not only the motile form) of the bacterium to obtain a proper treatment for Lyme borreliosis. Grapefruit-seed extract (GSE) contains bioactive flavenoids (e.g., hesperitin, resveratrol, and naringenin) and has been shown to possess anti-microbiological effect against bacteria and fungus [6,7]. Many studies indicate that GSE is a substance whose therapeutic effect ranks equal to or better than other
known anti-bacterial agents.

Conclusion: The highest GSE concentrations made the bacteria and cysts disappear completely, leaving only small uncharacteristic fragments; at lower GSE-levels the membranes showed herniation and disruption, and the contents had leaked out. The MBC was strongly dependent on the length of the incubation. GSE was very active even for very short incubation times, in agreement with previous results [7].

The MBC obtained by DFM for the motile bacteria agreed well with the TEM results. Presence of GSE reduced the conversion from spirochetes to cysts when the susceptibility testing was performed in distilled water.

This study was performed in vitro and further studies are needed to demonstrate eventual effects in vivo. From our results it will be rational to test the hypothesis that a combination of GSE and antibiotics will be efficient in the treatment of resistant Lyme borreliosis.

and i have one more dose today and then im done til next tuesday...man...ima dread that...lol

Lymie: You are making me nervous. I have a prescription for Flagyl that I will be starting after the holidays. I'm really worried about my tummy. I'm worried that I will get acid reflux from this and that it will become permanent. When I was having gallbladder issues a few years ago, I had nonstop acid reflux for five months...it was Horrible....and I'm so afraid of getting it again. It was a nightmare that I don't want to relive!!

Maybe I'll add the grapeseed extract to my regimen....

@ carrie.....this stuff didnt bother my stomach any worse...but i know this flagyl is definitly doing something.....my right arm is like ummm just a big fat herx.....which im thankful for because im right handed and i cut hair...the flagyl is doing what its supposed to do..its just a little strong....my next dosage is next tuesday and im going to only take one a day for two days....i jumped right into two a day and it was too much ....but hey...im digging the flagyl i know its working.....i do feel like i have concrete in my right elbow and right wrist...but i have til next tuesday to detox the mess outta myself...lol

@traveler....what are the symptoms of when yeast takes over your body?...u might have told me already but i cant remember..lol

Here is a link that will take you to a page that is fairly easy to understand - I know you are still dealing with those lovely cognitive issues. The info is good, but there is no need to buy anything from this company!! candidayeastcleanse.com/systemic-yeast-infection.php

Most everything that needs to be done can be done at home for a lot cheaper. The only thing that is really necessary as far as 'medicines' that you will need is a really, really good probiotic with as many different good

cultures as you can find. I told you about Kefir, which is what I will always use and suggest to others. It has more strains of good bacteria than can be found in any other one product, from what I have seen - although I could be wrong, as I don't travel the world checking!! Giggle!!!

Kefir can be bought in most large grocery stores, or in a health food store, or can be made at home! There are lots of places on the internet that now sell Kefir 'grains' ( they aren't any form of grain though!), or starters. Making it at home is easy and simple and saves some of that much needed money for other things.

Hope this helps!!!

Killed my stomach, gave me headaches, caused major fatigue as well. I was WAY too toxic at the time to start flagyl and my LLMD (MD) was not schooled AT ALL about making sure a lyme sufferer is detoxed well before pumping patients up with medications.

I took it for 6 weeks and it took me months to reverse the damage to my gut from it.

True, Trav, it doesn't seem like there would be a resistance build up. I guess a tolerance could develop though (marijuana is an herb that seems to build tolerance, no?)...I'd ask an herbalist or other naturopath maybe.

One note of caution is you have to be careful if you use a natural remedy at the same time as a pharma - sometimes there are interactions. And, I would suppose that, just like one could have an allergic reaction to a pharma, one could have an allergy to a natural remedy (for instance - hay is natural and lots of folks have "hay fever" not to mention the very dangerous peanut allergy).
