fatigue, fatigue and more crippling fatigue..

I can't stand up for more than a few minutes without having to lay down. Sitting seems to be too much for my body. I get tired having to hold my head up. my jaw gets tired chewing so I stop eating before I'm full. My body is exhausted. This is debilitating. I'm too tired to speak. And forget walking. I'll go into the kitchen and end up laying on the floor to store up enough energy to stand back up and make my way to the couch or my bed Instead of getting water or tea or food.

I'm taking hydrocortisone for my adrenals. It's not doing anything. I said it before I feel like I'm taking sugar pills. Seems like my symptoms are cycling again. But I can't go on like this.

Any suggestions to pep myself up? I also take taurine.

I shouldn't be herxing. I'm on rifampin azithromycin and plaquenil. Also a-myco and a bunch of herbs. My fatigue has been getting worse the past few days. Seems like a flare or something. Symptoms are cycling.

I wish there was some sort of supplement that woke me up and gave me energy. Taurine used to work and it's not right now.

Ya I have been since November though. Do you have more than one die off reaction with each medication change? Like when the bacteria cycle and get killed? So I should expect a herx every 4 weeks?

I feel like I tough it out to a fault. I chase my 3 year old around all day. I get lightheaded and feel really faint and start sweating and my vision goes crazy ears start ringing. Blah. I need a miracle supplement. I think I'm going to drink some coffee.

IHL - my herxes don't follow a particular pattern. I have herxed more than once - while not changing any meds. Sometimes, I would lower my dose until the herx started to subside (they lasted days, not hours)...and then several days after going back to full dose, I would herx again.
My herxes didn't seem to follow the 4 week cycle.

So, yes, you can herx more than once on same medication.

happyjo- I've been having these strange symptoms since before I even started treatment. I thought about it more and I think this fatigue is from getting my hormonal IUD out and all of my hormones getting out of whack again. I looked up some stuff and read about the "mirena crash" and it seems like that is contributing to whatever I'm going through right now.

I haven't seen my doctor since the first week of January, I think? Or something like that. I think by the time I see him in April it will be close to 10 weeks in between appointments. It seems like too long for me. I think I need to be seen every 4 weeks until I even out a little more.

I email my doctor as things come up. So he knows what I've been going through. He doesn't seem to think that any of this is that big of a deal and is always very reassuring. Sometimes I'm not so sure LOL! Either way don't worry about me, I feel like I'm turning the corner. I feel myself coming back a little more everyday. I feel alot more like myself today than I have in the past few weeks. That has to be a good sign!
