Massive brain fog episode!

Last night on my paltry 1/2 drop of A-Bab, I went almost catatonic. I was in a hard core daze - my husband says for almost 20 minutes. After, I had a hard time walking on my own and getting up the stairs. I felt like my brain was working fine, but not making the connection to my body. I kept telling myself, "Get up" and it took forever. Once I got upstairs, I was in and out of it. I could talk normal, but then spaced out. I went to bed and felt fine in the morning.

Today, I'm slightly dizzy, head pressure, exhausted. Been this way all week. It's the catatonic state that has me bugged out.

This is some scary stuff. I know a lot of people have neuro issues, but this is only the second time it's happened and it's freaking me out. My worst nightmare is stroke, but I have to keep reminding myself it's just the lyme. Right?

My doc wants me to stop all Lyme killing herbs - and I have. What a creepy horrible feeling. I figure it must be herx, but has anyone else had this and what do you do when it happens?? I took Alka-Seltzer Gold and I think it helped. Just looking for some commiseration or new tips.

I have been experiencing that and though I can't say for sure every time, I know that one of the more recent episodes my blood pressure which is being treated for being high, was in the toilet.

I was getting readings like 85/50 something. I would suddenly feel this almost enhanced numb feeling come over me where I just sat and stared. I couldn't talk, I couldn't move, I couldn't even make myself move. Just watching the world go by like I was under the strongest tranquilizer made.

I have always called that my zombie moments. It generally takes at least 20 minutes before it gradually fades back to being normal, but afterwards, like you, exhausted for a couple of days.


With me it seems it was a sudden and drastic drop in my blood pressure.

I felt like that a few times when I first started treatment. Arrrgh!!!

My first 'taste' of abx left me sat on the floor at work completely out of it both mentally and physically. My husband came to pick me up. I have no clue what I was doing or what the hell happened. What was scary was that although I had been bitten months earlier and had had the rash and had been feeling like poop with all sorts of crazy symptoms I had had no clue I had lyme. I was just told 30 days of abx would fix me so I didn't know about herxing, detoxing or anything. I thought I had permanently damaged myself!!

I found a different doc. One who actually knew about lyme, lol!

I also had the same kinda thing hapoen the first few times I did rife. Fortunately both me and the doc were more clued up. It was just the lyme. And that was my herx.

I also had massive detox issues and I didn't stop this happening when I treated till I sorted those out. I got my dna tests done and it took me a while to suss out all the problems and 'iron out the creases'.

What other detoxing are you doing, if you don't mind me asking?

I will certainly commiserate, it ain't pleasant at all!!!

My detoxes...

Daily: Green juice, water, lemon water, Yogi detox tea, epsom bath, charcoal (as needed), modified citrus pectin before bed, Alka Seltzer Gold (as needed). I was also doing weekly IV Meyer's Cocktails, but my veins got super tired after three months. I'm now doing a B-vitamin, glutathione shot - hopefully weekly.

I don't know if that's enough, too little, or too much. My doc keeps saying to up my detox and I'm like: What else should I be doing here??

I would suggest dry brushing before your epsom bath (or even just before you take a shower or get changed) - it is a useful detox method that doesn't involve taking yet another med/supplement, lol!!

It is useful to detox like mad BEFORE starting treatments/treatments/adding more, not just when taking them. You may already know and be doing that??

Have you been checked for the mthfr gene mutations? I also take L-ornithine because of these which was causing me brain detox issues.
