Wondering if I should go the ER or not? Haven't been feeling well at all today...worse than normal and its scaring me. I'm having this bizarre feeling of malaise and cannot pinpoint where its coming from or if I'm ok? Don't want to misread/brush it off as being non life threatening and it really is. I woke up feeling crappy and then foolishly upped my Japanese knotweed dose which I'm sure is making me feel worse. Sorry for the rambling but I'm just trying to make sense out of this madness.

This is a tough call from our standpoint. Would hate to tell you not to go when something unrelated to Lyme is going on.

Why don't you go ahead and take a binder like activated charcoal, and see if it doesn't help. Also try drinking water, help flush it out.

I wouldn't even worry about it being outside of the 2 hour away from other substances zone, just go ahead and take the binder now.

Do you have a way to check your blood pressure?

Resilience have you tried to detox? Have you done anything else differently? Change meds/herbs, increase, decrease. Did you eat anything different over the last week? You could be having a reaction to any change from what your norm has been. Sometimes just making a change can make you feel worse.

However, if you feel really bad, and you think getting reassurance that things are OK, then yes, you should go to the ER. You know your body best.

Said she/he upped the Japanese knotweed dose today. That's why I suggested the binder to pull it back out.

Sometimes we learn the hard way...I'm sure you know now not to up your dose of herbs or abx when you're feeling 'crappy'

Do what you can to detox.

Yes, but that may not be all that they changed within the last week which is why I asked those questions. Sometimes there is a delayed reaction. And the current symptoms don't necessarily have to be related to the JK.
