I'm almost not able to think or move, drink or eat and except for getting most ABX in ,not much else,
Was supposed to be working on sleep at night, the pills drive me batty and help for a hour or two at most.
Then try to sleep and when sun comes up can't move unless deperate for bathroom.
I feel like Mono, flu, and NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO energy what-so -ever.
My last Dhea and testosterin (sp) were flat/zero.
I've had a saliva kit for 2 weeks,I think for adrenals, Can't do what it say's and timing. It also says to not have certain drugs or suppoet in you so the little I have left of hormone stuff isn't getting used.
Don't know if I could do it anyway,
Doing pulse of Tidamax ,can that kick you badly?
I'm so sick I'm not able to just get up and go to a doctor ..and aside from TBD I think hormones ,adrenals are biggest problem, plus very low on basic vitanis .
I'm trying to get at least 1 nutrition drink in.
Is this normal.. Today when I was in and out of daze all day long ,I kind felt like I could slip away..

Sounds like you are in a very rough spot. Have you considered you may be on too much for your body right now. I saw myself in your description. I backed off and started over with a smaller protocol. It helped a lot. I also upped the detoxing I did too. Hang in there, this is all a nightmare we have all weathered some time or another. I know the feeling of just maybe slipping away. After a while I just got tired of fighting it and thought what the @#$% and didn't let it make me so scared anymore. I became brave and tried anything I could in small doses to help me. Treating fungus, yeast, parasites, allergies and next is mold. All of this helped a lot. That said, I have to treat the Lyme next. YIKES, but I can do it and so can you. Hang in there. Blessings and Prayers to you.

If I were you, I'd be getting off everything that you don't absolutely need right now, and focusing on adrenals. Zero DHEA means you aren't making much in the way of hormones, which can kill you all by itself...
Add in die-off from Lyme treatment, and it's just too much for your adrenals to deal with... So yeah, no wonder you don't feel like moving when you wake up...there aren't enough of the "get up and go" hormones to enable you to get up and go!
But absolutely discuss this with your doctor... And I don't know why s/he didn't have a cow when they saw your hormone levels so low...

That's what I'm trying to figure out.
.I know this is bad news and on other post I mentioned I did the Iodine on arm test. The brown was gone in less tha 4 hour ,easy,
no adrenal ,if test is useful.
by the way I'm taking 15 mg Dhea and 1grm nature=troid..............
Maybe the one doctor didn't catch it. I wonder if I should fax it.
I had a post about doing saliva test and in over a month haven't been able to.. Some said I shouldn't bother with it.
, That was from same doc that didn't say much about,except tahe this THS test

There's a lot of controversy about whether saliva or blood testing is better for adrenal hormones. I don't know enough about it to give an opinion one way or the other...
But that said, I also know that a zero on a blood test strongly suggests there's an issue and no matter how many other types of tests are done, that zero needs to be dealt with.
It sounds like you need to be working on the hormone issues with an integrative physician who has experience with your specific hormone issues, in addition to chronic infections.
I know the infections are a part of the hormone equation from personal experience. It is just a question of finding the expert who is going to be able to help you - specifically - get better.

I agree with Razzle, and Cozy too. Lyme really messes with our adrenals, big time. I did the saliva test. It was great because it showed what times I needed to supplement my adrenals. Once I started working on them, I felt better. Keebler has a lot of great info on this.
Also, tindamax hit my hubby hard. Detox, detox, detox when you feel terrible. Lots of lemon water works for me. I feel better within an hour or two. Maybe it's the alkaline. Abx are acidic and very hard on the body. Try eating more veggies/salads too(alkaline). Hang in there. Posted by debilyn (Member # 35753) on :
I've been pulsing Tindamax two weeks on and two weeks off since February.
By day 5 I am just like you describe. Every single time I take it.
My LLMD said to try it five days on, two days off for two weeks, then off for two weeks.
Taking that two day break at day 5 has helped me tremendously to control the severity of the herx/reaction.
I believe, for me at least, the Tindamax kills a lot fast. My system doesn't detox fast enough, so toxins
build up and I start feeling worse and worse. Taking two days off during the two week pulse has helped me keep
up with detoxing.
