I am crashing badly in the pm, weird top of foot pain (burning pain, very heavy)

Any recovery ideas? I am detoxing with Alka Seltzer Gold, apple cider vinegar, dihydromyricetin.

Kidney? (lower back) is very sore.

From todays perspective 285 days of rifampin is too much, at least for me. I should have stopped when my thyroid numbers blew up in November. There are some on the bartonella forums that I guess just keep pushing on, using the hydrocortisone to mask adrenal and kidney issues with the rifabutin?

Advise appreciated.

“ weird top of foot pain (burning pain, very heavy)”

- I had this and over time connected it to MCAS. I did Xyzal, Neuroprotek, AllerDHQ, and DAO? for MCAS. It helped, but I still occasionally had that burning on tops of feet. TUDCA Plus helped me the most. I started it about 6 months after the other supplements.

You didn’t mention epsom salt baths. Those helped me the most as far as relief.

Walking thank you for the tudca recommendation, I will give it a try.

IMHO we are going way past the bodies tolerance with rifampin.

Joint and muscle pain, inflamed tendons, kidneys shut down, adrenal failure (eye pain and visual issue - these were hard for me to link with rif, they were though) all result from too much and too long with rifampin. YMMV

This one bothers me as does pushing through DSF with neurologic and neuropathy issues.

The way back involves the use of a lot of hydrocortisone and thyroid meds.
