Please help with this. I've been on it already 3 days and developing headaches.

I have been on Mepron for six days now and haven't noticed anything.
I definitely have Babs as I tested positive with Igenex and have the symptoms.
Sorry you are having headaches. Hopefully it is temporary and you will feel better soon.

I get occasional headaches, pressurized feeling in head, fog and confusion, transient muscle pain, sweating, occasional chest pain, air hunger (though I have that without a herx as well), weak legs, and probably a few others. It varies from person to person, but it seems that the headaches, confusion, and transient muscle pain are all fairly common.

I took Mepron for 20 days straight before my hard Herx. After the Herx I felt much better. But I did notice that irritability increased while on mepron. Dr. advised me to start it up again starting with 1tsp and work my way up slowly. Just after 1 dose I feel my head pressure and irritable. I did not have this before taking the mepron.

Chest pain, air hunger, absolutely feeling crappy -- like the flu without the fever -- and high blood pressure.
The blood pressure was probably the freakiest symptom because I had been feeling that way for two weeks without knowing it was high.
I usually run 110-130/70-80 and I had numbers like 140/100 and 183/96. As soon as I stopped Mepron and Zithromax, my blood pressure went back down to normal (with the help of some Atenolol at a low dose).
I'm convinced now that the Mepron and Zithromax was killing bugs and the toxins become too much for me to handle and shot my blood pressure up. I just stopped last week, but I'm going to follow up with my LLMD next week about trying a lower dose.
