Well I haven't begun treatment yet, but tonight my legs decided not to work correctly as I was walking down the street. It was the first real "walking" I had done all day...

I looked like an idiot. Legs bowing out, ankle rolling/bending outwardly, knees not wanting to work, quads not firing when they should have, so knees were buckling, etc. etc. etc. Oh and the turtle pace. Gotta love that.

I can't imagine what herxing will be like under a full moon. But I looked up at the moon when I was outside and thought, yep, this is no coincidence!

Love to all!!!

Was diagnosed with Autonomic Disorder, POTS, Interstitial Cystitis, and Fibromyalgia. True story is I have late stage Lyme which has caused these things. Just began the fight in October 2011 (have been full-blown Lyme since Sept. 5, 2010), and WILL be victorious! Positive bands: IgG 41 and 60; IgM 23 and 41. CDC positive!

Not a doctor, not anyone of any legal standing... just someone on the search.

I'm doing horrible last night and today. I think I just might die in my sleep tonight. After doing all naturals the last 5 months, I decided to give in and go back on antibiotics tomorrow when I see my LLMD. I saw no improvement in the last 5 months on the remedies so I guess I don't have a choice. It's either that or die.

@Beenslymed - Sorry to hear about the herx.. Don't forget to detox if you can to lessen it.

I was going to up my dose of Olive Leaf today but I didn't have the guts to.

@Tizmo - What is your natural protocol?

I always seem to herx about 2-3 days before the "NEW & FULL" moon. The full moon is far worse than the new moon.

I don't call myself the Raven "LUNA"-tic for nothing... LOL!!!

Just plain Horseradish. You can by the root & grate it or most stores have it already grated in the seafood dept.

I put it in veggie mayo, salad dressing, hummus (whatever).

Last month I herxed at the full moon BIG TIME. This month, I herxed a week ago.

I feel pretty good today, only a slight increase in fatigue and other symptoms today.

Sending hugs to everyone who is having a hard time today. You will make it through. Be good to yourself, take a detox bath if possible, and maybe take some extra chlorella to bind the toxins so they can be excreted.

I am not a doctor, just a patient striving for recovery and hoping to offer support to others, too! Many blessings to you!

OK, I may have spoken too soon - seem to be having a bunch of symptoms kicking in. Really sore neck, major brain fog, joints wacking out, tingling getting bad in my fingers.

Guess I'm joining the party Tongue Detox bath tonight if I can swing it!
