A little scared to sleep...

Soooooooooooooo Update.... after my bout at the ER and muscles spasms and brain fog to the point of not being able to drive two days afterwards I decided to go back on the doxy that I was on for 4 weeks before but before I was NOT taking herbs also.

I'm scared I did something stupid and I'm going to have a major herx. The dose is the same as before and I felt better today after taking the first pill at 11. I would have had a bad allergic reaction by now if I were going to have one right? Its been 12 hrs...on a good note. my muscle spases are much less brain fog still here but not as bad as yesterday.

Anyone got a good detox for kidneys?? My liver is good but kidneys are a little achy. Just want to detox with out something acidic like cran juice.

I remember those days when I would lie awake at night, praying that I would wake up in the morning.

Remember that lyme strips the body of magnesium which can lead to heart palps and muscle spasms. 

My husband takes NAC for his kidneys which is supposed to be a good supplement.

I hope today is a much better day for you.  Glad to hear you are back in treatment. 

You should take magnesium "to bowel tolerance". This means that you build your dose up slowly, by 250 mgs every other day or every three days, until you reach the stage of giving yourself diarrhea. Then back off 250 mgs and that's your dose.

My doses change frequently, but I have significant issues with my intestines any way. My average dose is 2000 mgs am and pm, some days I take 2500 mgs am and pm, and some days I can only tolerate 1500 mgs am and pm.
