There is a lot of talk on this board regarding parasites. I have fought with TBD's now for about 6 years, having had at least lyme for a very long time.
I am finally off antibiotics and am just taking Byron White formulas. My major complaint now is the dark circles, puffy eyes and what looks to me like a swollen face. I think it's parasites and I have purchased the herbal remedy, i.e. cloves, black walnut and wormwood.
Have these symptoms ever gone away for someone with parasite treatment? I really don't have any other symptoms other than the constant fear that I'm going to wake up sick again and have to start all over.
I'm trying to think positive but I don't want to get too excited and than be in a major funk if I do relapse.
Any opinions? I don't want to look so tired if I'm actually not anymore.

I thought the dark circles were detox issues. Feel better.

I have also heard dark circles to be a food allergy....
Congratulations on all your hard work- off antibiotics.

Dark circles under the eye are called allergy shiners. They can be an allergic reaction to anything, including environmental factors, drugs and supplements, along with food.
The puffiness is also signs of an allergy.

Allergies are on the list for parasites. Google parasite symptoms.
