Few Good Hours--please help

Hi sueg

I'm sorry, you sound miserable.

Invanz is probably kicking up a storm, which is good because you know it's impacting your infection but the mass killing is also obviously overloading your system.

If at all possible, please hold off starting the Clindamycin until you're a little less toxic.

And if you can kick up your detox a notch or two, hopefully that will help. Also, you may just need to let the Invanz do its thing and wait it out. I remember when I first started on Rocephin at a fairly low dose and it wiped me out for a few days and literally made me a nutcase for a good 3 wks. Slowly but surely, the intensity subsided and I "recovered".

Please drink lots of fluids to help carry out the toxins. Hang in there and keep posting. Several of us are rooting for you and the Invanz to impact more success in your tx.

I know.. it makes you feel insane. Actually, that is one benefit of my IV port, I cannot shower from Wed to Saturday… and therefore, I don't leave the house in my green Linus cloud towards the end of the week! So that saves me a ton of energy. ;)

I am not making much progress at all lately because I can't stay on my protocol. Up until this week, my brain just would not engage with what was going on around me. It's a horrible feeling. So I've reduced my doses to 1/2 and already feeling a little more in control. I'm going to up the anty with my detox and get the cobwebs cleared out, so I can get back on the tx. I had to stop all the herbs due to the heart issues, which have subsided so slowly ramping back up.

It's exhausting.

So sorry if this is repetitive from a previous conversation (my memory sucks) but have you ever tried a hybrid approach w/ herbals?

I'm sorry you're having such a rough time Sue! I agree that you need to up your detox. Make sure you're getting enough fluids, such as lemon water and/or detox teas to flush out the toxins.

Also, you can use the Pinella to reduce a herx.

Does your dr have you on any herbs for Babesia? I know I have asked you that. I have severe exhaustion and fatigue too. It's one of my worst symptoms. I believe it's from my Babesia. Treatment is helping with it. You really have to find the right meds for you.

In the meantime, try to boost your detox. Every time I start a new med, I have a hard time. It really helps to boost detox. It makes a huge difference for me.

I hope you feel better soon. Hang in there!

Yes, there is such a thing as too much detoxing if you use only certain means of detoxing and your body doesn't detox well - or if you have gene mutations that prevent your body from detoxing well.

The Epsom salt soaks will help the toxins move from the tissues into the blood stream, and when the blood has too many toxins, we herx. The best thing to do is to start off slowly - maybe 2 or 3 times a week - and make sure you are doing other things to help your body move those toxins out, like oil pulling, dry skin brushing (really good because it stimulates the lymph as well), drinking at least 64 ounces of lemon water a day, using binders and other things.

I'm sorry your depression is flaring on top of everything else! It makes it harder Sue.

My severe fatigue comes from my Babesia. Treating Babs might help you too. Maybe you can ask your doc what you can do to address your fatigue and mood.

Is it Burbur you're taking with the Pinella? They are frequently used together for detox.

Sueg, that's not nearly enough things to help your body detox. You should start dry skin brushing, drinking lemon water, oil pulling and use a binder like activated charcoal to help get those toxins out of your body.

With the treatments for Lyme that you are using, you are creating a whole lot of toxins, and if your body can't get enough of them out, they will cause issues like you are having - only a few good hours at a time.

You will feel a whole lot better if you start detoxing more - just be sure to not introduce more than one new thing each week, go slowly and include as many things to help your body detox as you possibly can, It's worth it!!
