At the beginning of my treatment, I slept two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.  I have read that being able to rest is a must for the healing process.

Wishing you all the best,

Lyme/RA; AP 4/2008 off and on to 3/2010; past use of quinolones may be the cause of my current problems, (including wheelchair use); all supplements (which can aggravate the condition) were discontinued on 10/14/2012. Am now treating for the homozygous MTHFR 1298 mutation. Off of all pain meds since Spring '14 (was on them for years--doctor is amazed--me too). Back on pain med 1/2017. Reinfected? Frozen shoulder?

Hi Zoofie;
              You are feeling worse because that is what you are supposed to be feeling.Welcome to the HERX club.Better start to read a lot of the post here about how to cope with it.Start with the Detox baths as they just make you feel so great even if it is only for a short time.
  In my 11 years on AP I guess that I have herxed at least 2 years.It happens every time I change meds or doses or even supplements(but not always)Trudi is right about sleep,get as much as you can.

Dr. Brown recommended drinking lots of water until the herx is over.

Best wishes –

Sofie,

I had the same problem with being sooooo tired also. I believe it will get better for you . Rest whenever you get a chance, to help your body heal. This is what I have done and still do. But I am sooo much better than when I started AP.  Do you know about the LEMON OLIVE OIL DRINK, to help you to detox. Take a whole lemon , peel , seeds and all, and 1 Tablespoon of olive oil and blend it in a food processor, strain and drink. If it is too tart for you , you can add a little sweetner. Drink a lot of fluids every day. Hope you feel better soon. Just hang in there a while longer and see if you will feel better.

I wonder, if I get preg and need to stop the ap… and hopefully im down on a very low dose pred, arent my body going to have a shock then? soo little pred and no ap? :S

 

Does any of you experienced headache?

Make sure you are taking a lot of probiotics…..you dont want to get a yeast infection! If you are having yeast issues this could be another factor as to why you are feeling like pooo!

 

Hopefully its just a herx….drink lots of water!!! Milk thistle helps too!!! its an herbal supplement!~
