Treatment Update: Month 7

I have been treating for 28 weeks:
28 weeks with Ceftin
26 weeks with rifampin
22 weeks with tinidazole
1 month with teasel root
2 weeks with Samsara Herbs Lyme Mix

Symptoms that have improved:
  • Joint pain. headaches and foot pain are only happening when I herx
  • Very little brain fog and memory issues 
  • Very little bloating, stomach issues haven't been as bad
  • I did not have ovulation pain again. I did have some bloating a couple days after, but nothing like I was getting before
  • Air hunger and other Babesia symptoms have improved

Symptoms that have worsened/relapsed/continued: 
  • Herx reactions were numerous this month (headaches, joint pain, etc)
  • My acne kicked back up
  • More weight gain, even though I haven't changed anything
  • I had a lot of PVC's (skipped beats) which is discouraging. It was made worse when I tried a new magnesium supplement
  • Anxiety increase again

Comments:

I flared and herxed pretty much all month. I felt terrible on Christmas. I had a lot of headaches, leg pain, and joint pain in my hands. Anxiety was bad too. When I went to my Pound class earlier in the month, the skipped beats I get when I exercise continued for hours afterward. I haven't done any cardio since. The PVC's really set off my anxiety and I just haven't wanted to try it again. I think I discovered the throat issues I am having are indeed due to reflux issues. I've been drinking water with a pinch of baking soda 3 times a day and it seems to be helping. I think a lot of the herxing thas been due to using the Samsara Herbs Lyme mix again. It's strong stuff. Overall, this month has been a struggle, but I feel hopeful that I may be coming out of it.
