Too jump in on this, any suggestions? direct questions?///Have appt. 1 hour .I need short ,direct ,helpers.I.have a post at end of this
if you're doing the best you can..Not everything as I'm so sick ,I'm actually laying here in a small pool of blood..
have no energy and I don't have go to the the bathroom that bad yet ..so why move,, it hurts to much and the rest
how can thousands of people be going through this and people are not jumping in to help..
Or am I just whinning,,On top of it 2 of my doctors are retiring,,, of course the ones that help with pain and nerves most..
So here I lay..I have a protocol, most likely a great one,, I have not been able to work up to the whole thing.
Just to much to soon ..yet 6 month's ago this would not have happened ..So I wonder if something different happened.
Do you just Lay there for months and months??
If I have to go out ,I must take A PILL to over ride the fatigue, weakness, pain. dizzy, upset tummy, brain fog and then it makes me feel kinda crapy for while..
When do you get a break???????????????????????????????// DoI just egnore the herx or whatever and dump it all in...
This is 15 month's with LLMD treatment and private treatment before...
I know parasites...was given jar of treatment, felt like crap and still just getting by.
Everyone is done,,I was sick to long to keep friends around or help.
This just can't go on like this.. I can barely get on computer anymore....

You have a good LLMD now, hang in there. Many have wasted time with a doctor that did not treat aggressively enough before they find a good one.
You are with someone who knows what they are doing. I hit hell before I saw the light. Try to remember that sometimes it gets a lot worse before it gets better.
Sending prayers your way.

thank you all
the blood was from a shot and my body just didn't like it/or was done wrong and I was/am so sick ,it didn't get cleaned up like any normal human would.
I did have a 3 plus temp for a few hours ,but this i stuff that doesn't make sense//
/Like legs swelling ,then not being able to use knee's, walk pull up. That started on my B-day, 23rd and hasn't resolved but not as bad,
It's just one more thing that stops me
I Really don't understand how it gets so much worse on all these meds.
the triplets are coming and here I lay.
with the pretty urgent matter of what to do about the 2 doc's retiring and ..no energy to be on here , make calls and forget getting dressed and going to find one..
just overwhelmed.
I tried several Alka-gold, constant lemon water

I am 2 hours from her and have the same LLMD. There is a treatment manual that was given to both of us that lists all the remedies for herxing. It is a great manual with all the tips and tricks in it. It is around 60 pages.
This is the beginning of treatment with an aggressive LLMD and if the protocol is too much, all one has to do is tell the LLMD and it will be addressed.
It is always worse before it gets better. I crawled into our LLMD's office almost a year ago.
Now, I am on my way to recovery but I had weeks that I thought I was going to die. This group kept me going knowing that all that I was going through was temporary. There is much support here but in the end, you must communicate with your LLMD about how bad things are.
Herxing is going to happen but if it is too much for you to handle, either ask that your protocol be changed or try to toughen up and hang on until the abx start to really knock down your load of infection. This isn't going to be a cake walk with instant results. We all wish it could be like that.
If you need to stay in bed, do it. Watch TV or read a book, do whatever might give you a little relaxation.
I understand about family visiting, but you can do only what you are able to do. If you have to sit on the couch to visit, let your husband wait on the company and you rest. This is a time to do only what you feel your body can do.

Nonna, glad to hear you have a call in to your doctor.
Please know that I am very concerned for you and I am praying for you.
It DOES get worse on good treatment (this is the herxing)! But, it sounds like you are too, too sick so something has to be changed.
Treatment has to be adjusted to what the patient can bear.

I agree with TF. This herxing is beyond what you should have to endure. Herxing too severely is dangerous. You need to let your LLMD know how bad you are feeling.
Prayers and hugs being sent your way.

See if you have the energy to write down all of the symptoms you have mentioned to us... Here are some from your posts.
Extreme fatigue Weakness (so severe you cannot walk at times) No energy No longer able to manage things like getting dressed and cleaning up spilled blood Forgetting to get dressed Staying in bed all day Pain in knees Pain in breast Overwhelming sadness Inability to get a good night's sleep Hopelessness
Maybe you can put these symptoms in order of their severity and then go through them with her. Just tell her what you have been telling us. And let her know that this is not like you!
I will be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way. Let us know how things turn out.

yes it is very important to do your best with a pain diary / medication, like a big calendar . this way its much easier for llmd to see a pattern .
