Extreme Pain/ Disulfiram

Hi all,

about 3 days ago, after I received a refill of my prescription, I started experiencing sharp pain in my hands and feet and awful joint pain (mostly in my knees) and a dull pain in the rest of my body.
I haven’t felt body pain in about a month other than a small amount once or twice.
I’m still only on 125 mg every 3 days and haven’t changed the dose. I’ve been on this dose for more than a month.
I can barely get out of bed now.
I also started getting this strange rash on my arms and my skin is tender to the touch.
Slight headache, not the worst

Any thoughts on this??

Also still looking for DC doctor recs

I go to a LLMD in DC.

Email if you’d like info - what costs are, what the treatment entails, etc

Hands and feet, sounds like bartonella flare... Any neuro symptoms flaring?

It's probably reducing biofilms, kill off both bartonella and spirochetes, amongst other things. Be careful, might be good to take a few days off, let your body detox or lower the dosage.

Disulfiram stirs up a lot of things, could be brucellosis, could be bartonella...

Probably symptom of neuropathy setting in from die off... Sometimes you can't really feel the neuropathy, but just a headache, certain times of day I can feel the neuropathy, really increases my TMJ where I'm clamping down on my teeth.

A very tough symptom to deal with from the die off of disulfiram, all you can do is detox, back off dosage or take a few days, let things come back to normal. Gotta be careful of not going to fast with Disulfiram, where the die off could cause psychosis, which many report on the Disulfiram Facebook group. Always be sure to listen to your body...

I was thinking what Charlie said. Those particular symptoms sound like bartonella, and DSF, from what I have heard, seems to flare bartonella.
