Is it normal to Herx and or just be very sick after getting a high dose Vit C ????   I started on Plaquenil along with the Zithromax I was already on and I noticed now since being on Plaquenil I Herx worse from Vit C drips and when I get Massages ...  Is this normal does anyone know ?????

Hi Purplegirl,

Goodness, it seems like 100 years ago when I got Vit. C IV drips and I felt great from them.  I was sick with lyme but at that time I didn't know it was lyme..  The massages may be stimulating your lymph system which is really a good thing.. 

I would venture a guess that you may be feeling effects from the antibiotics.. Are you detoxing? (Here I go again, sounding like a broken record!!)

Hi Deejavu ~ Yes I am detoxing and I also use a Biomat (FAR Infared light therapy) but the Vit C drip does help me tremendously I just notice on the day I get it after a few hours I am so sick and my vision will usually get more blurry then usual also .. this goes on for like a day then I am fine so I have assumed it is a Herx from the Vit C ... Yes, the massage thing has helped me alot also keeping things moving threw my system and then allowing the Meds to kill off all the Lyme and whatever else ..LOL I am so glad to see that you have been symptom free for 6 years . That gives me Hope :) Thanks so much for your Info !!!! Greatly appreciated

Hi again Purplegirl,

For some reason you jogged my memory... When I was getting those IV drips, the doctors told me to bring food with me (proteins such as chicken or nuts) to eat while I was getting the IV.   Are you eating before or during the drip? 

And thanks for your kind words!  It took so much work to get where I am now and I learned so much and if I can help anyone that makes me feel good about myself...

Deejavue ~ Well I eat before but its like 2 hours before or so and I have also noticed now that you said that I am really hungry by the time the IV is done which is odd .. I can totally relate to what you said about it taking so much work to get to where you are .. When I tell people the things I do to help get rid of this Lyme they say " You should get an A for effort ".. It is alot of work but if you want Optimal Health again thats what we have to do !!!! I am so glad there are people out there like you who know how to help the ones of us like me who are in the begining stages of this mess..LOL Not that I am glad that you ever had Lyme cause believe me I would not wish this on anyone !!!!! I do eat alot of nuts so next time I go for the drip I will bring them with me and eat them while I am sitting there ... LOL Thanks so much for the tips :) :) Just out of curiosity do you still do detox's and take supplements ????

Hi Purplegirl,

Yes, I think that would be a great idea to bring a ziploc bag filled with nuts and eat them slowly during the drip...  That's what I was told to do and I felt fine.  I didn't ask why back then (out of character for me not to ask), duh!

Yes, I still detox (the baths, dry skin brushing, sauna, etc.) and drink Green Vibrance (I'm have no financial connections with this product), because I believe we live in a toxic world and I like the idea of keeping my immune system strong, take Vit. C, and because I am in post menopause I also take 2 natural supplements for that.  Go figure, I get healthy from lyme and then I started menopause!  LOL!  But I was due for that anyway with my age.. 

And you're right, it does take work and looking back now I honestly don't mind that I had lyme because of all the knowledge I gained and how it changed my life.  I used to be a real junk food person, didn't exercise, etc.  I also never did coffee enema's, goodness, if someone had a crystal ball and told me I was going to do those, I would have told them they were crazy!  But I did them and still do them for health reasons.

I also wasn't aware what a toxic a world we live in, all I did was work, work, work and never took time to smell the flowers..  My outlook on life changed totally...

I do have Green Vibrance but I noticed it has Probiotic in it so I am never sure how I am going to drink it becasue I take ABX's 3 x a day and I was told by the ND you should wait 4 hours in between ABX and probiotics so I cant figur eout how to drink it and time it right..LOL And your sure right about all the knowledge you can gain from having Lyme.. I have learned so much so far and I want to keep learning :)
