I started artemsia on saturday and last night I developed a low grade fever, chills and headache. This morning I was fine. Now this evening, a couple hours after taking artemsia I have a fever of 100.2 and chills and headache again. I have an appetite and don't feel like its a bug. I can't figure out why I'm reacting like this. I took artemsia 20 days ago for 10 days and then took a 20 day break and started back up on Saturday. I don't remember this reaction the first time I took this medication. Any thoughts?

No idea but I call artemesia the little herb that kicks our butts. All three of us have to take it and I dread it. I fever all the time and so does my youngest. He has never made it up to full dose- 3 pills. After 2 months we tried 2 pills and he just feels bad the whole time. I am going to make myself do 3 pills a day over the holiday. I want to get the buggers out. It is hard for me to work while on it.
Could it be that some how things got stirred up in your body this month and now there is more of a die off than previously?

Things are never dull. After 3 fighting Lyme, 2 are in remission. Youngest is still sick, age 22. He has new diagnosed Chiari Malformation and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome.
