I had POTS to the extreme when I first got sick, but this has become much better, practically non-existent with treatment. I am off antibiotics and have a few remaining symptoms like drenching sweats, eye problems, hot flashes, and lingering depression. A lot of these are POTS related and I had an episode yesterday of feeling like I would pass out.
After researching on here it could be many things as usual...parasites, Babs, Bart, Lyme, Protomyzoa, even Brucellosis. I know this is the last piece of the puzzle for me but i can't have POTS return, it is devastating to the way I function. Any suggestions?

What herbs are you taking? POTS can be a herx reaction from dieoff. I would cut the dose in half of whatever you are taking, and don't take the next dose until things calm down.

I am taking ParaGone which has given me the worst herx out of Parastroy and Hanna Kroeger wormwood combo. I think you could be right, I am feeling awful...I have been on ParaGone for 3-4 weeks and recently had my "cycle" along with the full moon. I am assuming its from the herbs bc its the only thing I started recently. I'm getting desperate, so I added A-Bart and Grapefruit Seed Extract to cover my bases but the herbs are hitting something...
I'm going to take your advice and back off, thank you Gael.

Your welcome. Adding more antiparasitic herbs to the Parasgone will exaggerate your symptoms even more. It might be too much for you. I would take a break and let the symptoms calm down, and then just resume the Parasgone.
Hope you feel better.

Thank you! Yes, I agree. I'm getting a little too excited that this may be hitting my last symptoms. My heart symptoms have kicked back in, I'm dizzy, sweaty all kinds of things. These herbs really pack a punch!

You might benefit from warm water enemas to release dead and dying parasites from the lower colon.
The goal with antiparasitic herbs is to eventually see some physical evidence in the toilet. Sometimes it takes persistence before they let go.
Maybe down the rosd you can add a low dose salt/c. Not now though as that can also pack a punch. Make sure you drink enough water to help flush out toxins.

Did anyone else have this symptom or similar while treating parasites?

Hey Jamers I do find that I can get feeling dizzy from parasite herbs.
Do you or anyone else find that the specific parasite herbs can make you feel really out of it and almost drunk?
Would this be a reaction to the wormwood at all or just part of a herx.
I just find they make me feel really brain fogged , anyone else?
