kmom Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I started Lyme Borrelia/Bartonella/MycoP treatment at the end of Nov. Started w/ Doxy along w/ supplements (vit. D, organic raw food multi, iodine synergy, omega 3s, calcium lactate, vit. c, probiotics, digestive enzymes, activated charcoal, methyl B12...think that's it). I herxed badly within days--flu like symptoms, vomitting 1st day, more joint pain, nodules on knuckles, fatigue and just felt better w/ my eyes closed than open. Then, within 2-3 wks. I felt a lot better and symptoms started to really subside! Jan 7th visited LLMD and he added Ceftin, Diflucan and Low Dose Naltrexone to the mix. I herxed but not as severe and not as long...just as LLMD had described! Started feeling a lot better again within a week and even started playing tennis again 1 day/wk. But last Friday I started to feel worse. I felt queasy, some burping (lovely--I know ) and just a "not feeling right" feeling. It isn't constant. I usually feel better in the AM and worse as day goes on. Last weekend I assumed I caught a little virus. I thought it went away by the end of the weekend but it comes in waves. Then Wed. night I went to a PANDAS/Lyme support group, came home late, took my night time meds and within an hour, I was hit w/ nausea and vomitted. I felt awful. I chucked it off to too many meds and not enough food??? The following AM I felt fine. But then as day went on same queasy feeling and again this afternoon. I'm bummin b/c it's my b-day and would like to enjoy a dinner out but gosh I need to shake this feeling. Anyone have experience w/ this? Any advice? I'd love to crawl into bed but tough to do everyday w/ 2 PANDAS/Lyme kids--although they are doing much better I actually transferred video clips of kids' meltdowns, vocal tics,rage, etc from the past 9 months from my blackberry to my laptop. The kids are finally at a good enough place that I can bear to watch the bad times on video. It's a great way to track their progress and see how far we've come on this journey.
MichaelTampa Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 I'm not familiar with that queasy as a herx symptom. Not saying it isn't one, but haven't experienced that at all. I have had a couple supplements cause queasiness, though, when taken on an empty stomach. (And who knows, now that I think about it, maybe that was a herx.) Don't know if you have access to "energy testing" or "muscle testing", but I wonder about the possibility that one of the things you're taking just isn't good for you, or isn't good for you on an empty stomach.
philamom Posted February 11, 2011 Report Posted February 11, 2011 Sorry you're feeling queasy. Just wanted to chime in to wish you a happy birthday!
susie Posted February 12, 2011 Report Posted February 12, 2011 For me, the doxy will do that if I don't have enough food in my stomach. An apple alone isn't enough (I found out), but an apple and some yogurt or protein is.
kmom Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Posted February 13, 2011 Thanks for responses. I started to see a pattern w/ the nausea linked to my digestive enzymes. I am going to test the theory. I didn't take them w/ dinner and feel better this evening, finally! I switched brands a week and a half ago and realize this new brand is stronger...even though nutritionist suggested this brand but were out when I started taking them, so I went w/ a different brand. When it was time to stock up again, I went w/ the nutritionist's recommendation but I think these stronger ones could be causing the nausea. I hope that's it!!!
