Is this the bad before I start feeling better... You know lose the 60 pounds I again from this crap last year and exercising twice a day...cleaning house going to ball games, camping,
I thought after a week I would be ready to go..Oh well I wanted to be ready to go.

Sounds like a herx and the itching sounds like a yeast infection.
Search here for candida or yeast for help. Be sure to use probiotics. Terry

Another herx partner here ... I've been on antibiotics since mid-January, started herxing when I started an additional antibiotic in mid-Feb. and still have more bad days than good.
It's a long haul. The LLMD told me that it would probably be a few months before I saw any significant improvement. I try to take advantage of the few hours I get every once in a while where I actually feel kind of good.

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]
DIET is the most important thing to remember! No starchy or sweet foods!

Yeah, I am still running fever today and head hurts to move. I really thought I could take advantage of being home.
You know clean a little and do some stuff. Well I am doing some stuff keeping the bed warm. But that is about it.
