PM'd you, but just saw this...

My POTS got worse with babs treatment. Herx, maybe? Or just part of the overall experience?

Also - the heat. POTS is much worse in the heat, and I notice that my POTS acts up much more now that we are on the east coast and in humidity rather than the desert.

Hang in there!

Thanks. I went back on art on Monday as I'm pulsing. Perhaps it was worsened by the herx. I appreciate your help. Got your message.

HERX. A herx is a worsening (intensification) of old symptoms or the emergence of new ones.

Hang on!!

I had the exact same experience!!! I actually never had POTS until I started treatment. I'm on a herbal parasite purge and it has helped soo much!! I can't believe a parasite can do so much damage!

No, im not even treating babs yet. I'm waiting for my test results to come back, although im pretty sure I have it. I feel 80% better just from that herbal purge. Isn't that weird!?!

It's called Purge Parasitis by New Roots. My BF got it at the local health food store here.

Dear gatorade girl,
I definitely got worse adding Mepron & Azith for B. duncani. Kept me exhausted!

I had to stop due to troublesome yeast infection.

Have continued Doxy simultaneously for Lyme & Bart.
