more questions...

[dut]

Sorry.. bear with me but I've got some probably dumb questions....

 

I've got 2 PANDAS dx kids who we are exploring chronic infections for, primarily myco.

 

but these questions relate to me....

 

I had my cd 57 done and came back at 54 (60 being bottom of low/normal). I am wondering if a bout of bronchitis followed by continued nasal congestion for 4 years could be our hiding myco. The congestion doesn't appear to respond to allergy meds but will lessen with abx, sometimes, only to return.

 

Now here's the bit where you have to bear with me....

 

I'm on round 2 of azith for my nasal congestion..wich is better but not gone but I am in day 4 of a bad headache with some increasing body aches. I do get a lot of body aches - bad head/neck/arms as a result (I thought) of whiplash years ago. Also I'm a bit of a chubby and so fairly often attempt to lose weight and find that I always get a really bad headache the first few days. I don't think it's dehydration as I always try hard to drink extra...

 

is there any chance that these headaches could be a kind of herx? I've recently read that fatty sugary foods feed myco and wondered if my starving myself :-) and the myco could result in die off and the same might be happening while on abx, die off leading to headaches....

 

thanks...

Possible all of that is a herx, yes. Possible it's lyme or myco.p. or both. Please note, while the range they show on the report may have 60 as barely normal, 60 is not healthy, 60 is evidence of a problem.
