5 day break

Ive stopped herbs for a weekend twice before. Just to see what symptoms appeared. Nothing ever materialized. Well, the reason for my other thread, looking at a new LLMD that didnt work out, was I experimented again. This time 5 days. What did it tell me, other than im still in trouble?

Well, I wrote down the symptoms. The first to show its face was a slight vibration in my right thigh, directly under the pocket where I keep my cell phone. It felt like my cell phone was vibrating, and though I knew it wasnt my phone because I always have the sound turned on along with vibration, each time I felt it I grabbed my phone and pulled it out to double check.

The second symptom was the zaps. They start around the bottom of my sternum and shoot quickly toward my collar bone. These are what initially scared me in 2014, thinking they were heart attacks which was quickly ruled out once I finally saw a cardiologist.

Third symptom, which I spoke about many times, digestive issues. Bloating, pain, though regular bowel movements, and finally acid reflux symptoms. Gut palsy is a nutshell. With everything backing up, though stomach acid is low(not non existant), your system is forced to bring some things back up.

Next was joint pain. Honestly, it felt so bad I kept telling people it felt like someone hit me with a 2x4. First it was my right shoulder and left knee. Then my right ankle and the back of my neck.

Next was another that I spoke of before. Cold sores. The last few days I broke out again. One still in basically the same spot on my upper lip, and 2 more that we painful. One right by my left nostril and one actually inside the right nostril.

Fatigue also set in rapidly. I could move, which was a chore with the joint pain, but I felt like sleeping constantly. Id wake, only to feel like I needed a nap again. Which I did. That in itself caused insomnia like symptoms because I already slept the whole day away basically.

Last night at work, I said enough of the experimentation and took my "concoction" of herbs. I feel better today, but its amazing how a small break in treatment had all these symptoms(and more) pop back up.

Since it seems more CNS related, I believe im dealing with Bart more than Lyme. Would you happen to agree? If so, is it time to get very agressive with Bart? Thank you very much.

Wow! I am blown away with what you are experiencing. I don't have any answers except to wish you well from the bottom of my heart. I will be following this thread closely for I have also recently discontinued treatment for the time being while monitoring the effects.

Best wishes for the answers that you are looking for.

Any other suggestions? Thinking I need to come up with the dollars to get back to original LLMD and get some abx. Herbs obviously help, how much im unsure. They obviously lowered the symptoms stated above, so may ride herbs out longer. But, being an impatient sort, im torn. Money is definitely an issue, finding another doc, as stated in another thread, didnt turn out they way id like. But if going back to the LLMD is my best option according to you all, ill come up with the funds somehow. Thanks.

Appreciate it! Well, guess I have some more research to do. See what abx hits Bart and weigh the info. Id rather stay on herbs depending on how long I need them. My liver values are already going up, and I definitely dont want any damage from that.
