How often do you pulse with herbals?
And does the severity of your herxheimer reactions get better over time? Or does it vary? Will it always hit me this hard?

Usually when taking herbs we don't pulse them.

In time, herxes usually do get better...but it can take some time for that...especially if you haven't got a really good detoxing regimen going.

Mine aren't as bad as they used to be...I used to cry every single time...plus I had daily flares usually late afternoon/early evening lasting a few hours.

But, often a change in meds....either new ones for the same infection, or adding in for co-infections can cause high level herxing again...and of course your detoxing will help with reducing the severity.

I agree with what Girlie said - herbals shouldn't be pulsed, unless you are doing that to work up to getting onto a full dose.

Do be sure that you are doing a lot of detoxing too. We have some great suggestions in the "new to Lyme?" thread that sits at the top of the forum, and here: www.tiredoflyme.com/detox-methods.html
