I met with my LLND on Wednesday to begin treatment for Lyme Disease. She started me on B12 injections, a good probiotic and a Vitamin- Mineral Supplement. Both the probiotic and Vitamin- Mineral Supplement are from Scorbatate, a good brand. Anyways, I got my first B12 shot Wednesday morning and by the evening I was noticing a increase in my energy (wasn't expecting that). The nest day (yesterday) I started my probiotic and vitamin- mineral supplement. I felt so good all day yesterday with a huge decrease in my off balance feeling and heavy headedness. I was wonderful. Not sure if the B12 had anything to do with it? Anyways, today I feel AWFUL. Balance issues are extreme, I feel like I'm rocking on a dock, nauseas, tied etc. I also think I've come down with strep throat (started Wednesday afternoon).
My LLND is building up my immune system for a month then starting me on the herbs.
My question is could the B12, probiotic and vitamin-mineral supplement really be killing off bacteria and causing me a herx today?
My LLND did not mention this could happen from these supplements. Is it helping my immune system attack the bacteria? Like I said I only started my B12 injection 2 days ago and then the two supplements yesterday so its not like it really has had much time to "work". Maybe I'm just having a bad day for my Lyme Disease symptoms.
