Milk Thistle Bringing out the Infections?

[trintiybella]

I took a capsule of milk thistle last night and I was flat out in bed all day with lyme symptoms I haven't had for awhile. Could this be the M.T. stirring things up or is it just coincidence. Perhaps I am just exhausted from something else?? Thanks for your input.

What were the symptoms, if you don't mind sharing? I have looked at milk thistle for DD, but have hesitated because of her allergy to ragweed and a relationship between milk thistle and ragweed. I don't remember reading anything about it causing increase in symptoms caused by lyme which DD has also had...

I took it the evening and the next day, I was so exhausted and I had a hard time walking, along with flu symptoms. These are symptoms that I have had prior to being treated for lyme that have subsided quite a bit with treatment. They came back full force when I took the milk thistle. Perhaps its just stirring something up. I am going to back down and try again.
