Just looking for opinions as I am pretty clueless about everything. But I had been taking a couple drops of teasel root tincture twice a day for a week with just minimal reaction. A couple days ago I upped the drops and my word I was having the worst pelvic pain and extreme burning/swelling in one of my hips. These both were my first symptoms after I was bit in 2006 but became more tolerable over the years. What exactly happened that I was experiencing such high pain in just those 2 areas? Because they were my first symptoms? Thanks for any input.

Sounds like it could be a herx, especially since you are drawing out old symptoms and have just recently increased teasel. That can often happen with herxes, symptoms you used to have can be drawn back out.

I'd do a lot of detoxing, and if the symptoms don't calm down to a tolerable level consider lowering the teasel back down to see if that helps.

As sebreg mentioned - try and up your detox and if you don't get relief....drop down the dose of the Teasel.


Keep us posted.

I've had weird symptoms like that re-emerge. Can't remember if I was taking Teasel Root at the time or not, but my ankle swelled up out of nowhere as if I had badly sprained it. It's this type of realistic nerve and body pain that makes this complex of diseases so miserable. Like others have said here, if it seems too overwhelming, the pain and symptoms, ease back a little on the dosages and up your detox and other self-care for awhile.
