QUESTION: Is it possible to have two back-to-back epoisodes? After one "normal" day I started feeling crappy again and having pain and now I feel as if I am peaking again!

("normal" only means a lower level of pain and better able to move around, but not a normal person's "normal") I was under the impression that Herxing comes in cycles, like once or twice a month, but these two eisodes only had one day between. Please advise!

Did you slack on detox while you were feeling crappy?

Do you know if you have any coinfections?

I have Lyme and Babs and sometimes I get hit with a Lyme flare followed by a Babs flare...both can behave very cyclically.

Try to keep track of the days and lengths of your herxes and see if a pattern creeps up...

Hope this helps some....

I don't know if I have co-infections but my doc suspects Bartinella. But I didn't test pos for Lyme or Bartinella, we only can conclude I have Lyme because I noticed positive resultes after the first 30 days of abx.

Re. detox, I do salts baths, but what else could I do? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I think there is a post about Detox in the facts forum. Check it out. Some good stuff in posts that arent too old.

there are detox teas (traditional medicinals IMO are really good) can get them at a grocery store...

Vit C helps...

and yes as steelers said amonina build up can really put a damper on things...there are supplements that can help with this too...but I am not home so I cant look them up...

hang in there
