Well I can definitly sympathize with the pain . It has been my biggest problem for years. I take oxycontin and vicodin for "breakthru" pain, but honestly I sometiems wonder if it's worth taking the stupid things! Of course I've been on pain meds for years so yeah, I started with just vicodin, and ultram and stuff like that but you build a tolerance, and it's like it doesn't even take the edge off anymore. I've been couching it the past couple days myself. Poor kids, they want so badly to do something on break, but I just can't. You want to be sure you're detoxing well, drinking half your weight in ounces of water a day, I'd make some of it warm water with lemon. You can also do a drink, doesn't taste bad at all, just lemony, you take 1 cup cold water, 1 whole lemon, skin, seeds and all, cut up, and 1 tbs of olive oil, put it all in a blender, blend, strain and drink. This will help with the herxing. Noni is supposed to be good for you, and supposed to help with pain. I've never noticed it to help with my pain, but it's not just "achey pain" its hideious. There are a lot of great supplements out there to help build your immune system and detox etc. you should be on a GOOD probiotic, one you get from a healthfood store or I get mine from www.iherb.com one that is refridgerated. I know a lot of lymies are gluten intollerant, Christine can chime in on this as she knows more about it than I do. So a gluten free diet would be good. Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.
