My question is this, I had my Mepron bumped up to a teaspoon and
a half recently. Normally it was a teaspoon. And I've been feeling
major symptoms revisit my life and then some.. It's been 5 days on
this dosage and I'm bed bound again, sound like a herx to you ?
Thank you team !
Love

Yes, sounds exactly like a herx.
Any time you increase the dosage of a med and get sick again after day 2 of the higher dosage, it tells you that you are killing something.
The fact that old symptoms are coming back is classic for a herx.
Drink lots or water and squeeze lemons into it to help you detox. That can help end the herx more quickly.

Agreeing with TF.
Also, you may enjoy a soothing epsom salt bath to relax and detox. My LL RN suggests 2 cups epsom salts in a warm bathtub. Soak about 10-15 minutes, once or twice a day.
