Hi all,

I’ve been treating with Buhner’s core protocol plus some (via Samsara’s Herbs Tick Recovery and Tick Immune Support) along with additional supplements since September (after 6ish weeks of doxy followed by 6 weeks of IV rocephin)

I spent the majority of December thinking I had this stuff beat aside from fatigue after long days, some random floaters when driving, and twitching that was nearly gone. My heart issues were long gone, and all tests on it were great.

Then out of the blue on NYE, the very early neuro symptoms returned. Vision issues, dizziness, headaches, earaches, racing thoughts, anxiety, waves of adrenaline. I’ve tried to up my detoxing, and it has helped a some, but today I started displaying some Bell’s palsy symptoms - droopy eye, uneven symmetry, reduced feeling all in my left side.

Any advice on what to do from here? Aside from current issues...I seem to have some monthly relapsing of symptoms - but usually for a day, maybe two and never these issues. A few weeks ago I added arginine to pair with the other herbs that treat Bart that are included in the tick immune support herbs....just in case.

My family has let me know I’m showing signs of depression, and I can’t really disagree.

Is this a herx? A flare? A return active infection? Where do I go from here?

One of my doctors actually recommended a lyme support group for advice and I think you all are as good as it can get!

Thanks in advance.

What are the symptoms of a parasite issue?
My bowels have been the one thing through all of this that have done just fine - even during ABX - thanks to reading on here that probiotics & diet are vitally important.

Tracing back relapsing symptoms, they tend to occur closee to the new moon - usually towards the very end of the month.

I’m just at a loss.

Orbitingaround,

I don’t track very well...which is funny because when I’m able to work - I do a lot of data analytics/data tracking for non profits. Lately via contract work.

I have tracked my “flare ups” / low points and they’ve all occurr about 4-5 weeks apart. When you say “it could be that,” what do you mean by “that?”

Parasite? Herx? Flare?

And yeah, you’re probably right about the timeline/length.
