I know I have read about
this somewhere on here but I can't remember. I have been having muscle twitching and spasms as well as cramping. It started in my arm last night and overtime I ended up with it in my arms , legs, chest, and feet. It kept me up all night long. It feels as if there is something in my muscles trying to get out, how ironic. I was wondering if this could come from a herx since I had started doing a natural 14 day liver detox two days ago . I have never had this kind of muscle spasming or this kind of cramping before. I have been drinking tons of water before anyone asks lol. Any ideas??

Sorry you're dealing with this!
I vote herx.....and suggest you increase your detox.
And, yes, I know we say this on here alot but, detox really, really helps.
Hope you feel better soon!

Okay thanks, although I believe this herx is because of the liver detox I started using, not sure why though.

Well, detoxing means that we're mobilizing toxins.
Those toxins can wreak havoc until they're eliminated.
If you're not doing so already, you might want to consider the addition of a binder (activated charcoal, bentonite clay, zeolite, etc.)
I regret not adding a binder to my detox protocol sooner....it makes a big difference for me. The only issue is to make sure I'm taking it at least 2 hours away from basically everything since binders not only absorb toxins but, nutrients from our food/supplements and our meds. I take mine when I get up at night to use the bathroom.

Alright thanks, that was another question I had. Because I have the activated charcoal but can't ever find a good time to take it where I am not taking something else or eating a meal. Maybe I will start taking it when I get up during the night because God knows I am up and down all night urinating lol.

I very much relate
It's crazy to admit but, I feel celebratory if I only get up once during the night.

Lol.....before I knew I had Lyme, I swore that my kids tore my bladder up during pregnancy and that could still be a possibility as well but it so weird that Lyme does that to people. I know I drink a lot of water throughout the day but I always have and never had these problems 😕
