So I added Sida Acuta last Friday, felt flu'ish. Intense leg pain is lots better but now my brain fog is back, tremors, internal vibrations, and stupid excessive sweating and itching.
I am at a low dose too!

How do I know what it is working on?
I'm on IV Rocephin and been taking Eleuthro.

Can I add Pinella to clear my brain or will that make it worse now?

Yes, you can add Pinella. Have you tried it previously?

I have not tried it before Girlie. How much should I start out with?
Just received it in the mail yesterday.
These symptoms or herx is sucking pretty bad.
Of course I decided to add ACV yesterday and today as well so wondering if Candida working on me too!

I actually followed the directions on the bottle...10 drops. I found that wasn't enough, so I now do 20 drops...and sometimes an hour later I will do 20 drops again.

So, maybe try the 10 drops first time, see if it helps.

You can repeat that, if you don't feel like the 10 drops helped - maybe an hour later.

Then next time, you can go to the 20 drops.

This is why you shouldn't add more than one thing for several days (I prefer a week, with the way my body works). It's really hard to tell what you are hitting and what caused it.

You likely should stop one (you pick the most likely one) of the newest things you just started for a few days and see what happens. If your symptoms resolve, then you have found what it was that stirred it up, and what it stirred up. If that doesn't make any difference, then try stopping the other thing.

I have this problem of ohhh I'm feeling bette so let's tackle this more, then I'm like whoa momma.
I did take the Pinella and it helped so I will continue.
I've been on the Eleuthro for weeks no problems, I just started the acv yesterday so I'll not take that and see if it's the Sida Acuta or the ACV. Oh and the Resverotrol I added a few days ago too!
I'm sweating like I'm going through Menopause.
Thank you for reminding me slow and steady, I'm not so good at that.

I'm with you, wanting to be well, like.....yesterday!

Just doesn't work that way....too much stuff to clear out.... But I still thought I was tougher than I was, so, I'd push it too... Then it would backfire, then I'd have to back down...ugh!

Patience I've learned sure helps with all this

Like Trav said, you can't add in something every couple of days without becoming totally confused about which supplement causes which reaction. Give it a good week between any dosage changes or supplement additions.

How much sida are you taking? If you find out it's the sida, decrease to 1/2 of what you are taking now and see what happens.

Rowing, I'm taking 1/3 of daily dose suggested by Buhner, I will cut out ACV tomorrow and stop Resverotrol, then if no improvement I'll cut the Sida in half.
Thank you

Hey Trav, yesterday was a much better day, I cut out ACV and Resverotrol, cut my dosage of Sida Acuta in half. I also still using Pinella which is big help, I felt almost normal. I ended up staying up till midnight with a bunch of friends talking and laughing.
I am paying for today, some brain fog going on and I'm tired but managing. I didn't take my detox bath last night and took this morning which I know better but to late now. I have so much to get done to not feel as good as I did yesterday.
I will keep this dosage for a week from yesterday.
One question, do I stay low dosage on one herb and then add additional in protocol at low dose and then add another at low dose and increase them to max dosage together of course a week in between adding each one or do I get one herb up to full dose over time and then add each additional at lower and bring those up to full as I've would have already brought the previous up to full.
Hope this question makes sense.

Yay for feeling better though!!! And who doesn't need a good laugh once in a while - even if we end up paying for a bit.

I get a bit confused to tell you the truth, but if it was me (as I would want to get over this as fast as possible - LOL!), I would work in all the herbs at lower doses, then start raising each one every few days. For me, I know when my herxes hit - three weeks from the time I reach full dose, but I would raise the individual herbs slowly, making sure that I don't react to one.

I just jumped right in with the herbal protocol that I used, partly because I didn't know better (no one detoxed like we do today), and partly because the Lyme protocol I used had 11 herbs mixed together in different proportions. Now I caution people to start off with 1/2 strength protocol and build slowly.

So the same thing when a person is using individual herbs, as in Buhner's. Get started on all the herbs - but give each herbs several days to a week to see how your body reacts to it. Raise them all kind of at the same time but in steps so that you are only raising the dose of one herb at a time - again to see how your body responds.

That way when you have issues of any type, you will know what herbs caused it most likely and what herb to go slower with or, if necessary, to find a replacement for.

The same for what you are doing - only raise the dose of one thing at a time, but do it in steps so that overall you are raising the doses in the same block of time.

Clear as mud?? smilewinkgrin I can try again!!! LOL!
