Herxing on Tinadazole

Doesn't sound like a good way to start the day.

Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for the sentiments and comments.

You know what is strange is that the two areas where I had flank pain on the lower left front 3-5 inches from the navel and left side farthest from the navel which I once thought was cleared up by the Ivermectin cycles had come back.

They also felt better during the mebendazole treatment of 6 days 100mg bid but came back yet again.

The Tini is putting an emphasis on these areas as they are sore as I type. I hope its doing something good down there.

I also think the leg and ankle pain is getting better. I don't know to credit this to the recent addition of Biaxin, longer use of Chlorella, or both. I just added Cilantro with red root days ago, but it couldn't work that fast could it?!

Maybe all of the above.

Quite honestly, how fast it will work will sometimes depend on how badly you need it. Some can feel an improvement from support herbs like that in a matter of days - I know I can.

I think that you are likely treating so many different things that it will be hard to determine what's helping what - but I'm really happy to hear that you are seeing improvements!!

Do the parasites symptoms "cycle" - like when new one "hatch" out? (sorry, can't think of a nicer way to put that!!!). I know in livestock you have to treat a few times for a parasite so that you can treat the new "hatchlings". Since they are mammals as well, it would make sense.

The only one I haven't recycled for that situation is the mebendazole. Maybe its time for another 5 day treatment just as soon as I know I can handle the Tini.

500mg of tinidazole is not starting slow LOL. remember its a broad spectrum potent anti-parasitical so it's quite strong particularly the first time you take it (assuming you have stuff for it to kill).

my wife started with 250mg and one of her main symptoms (itchy sensation all over) was 10x worse. i told her that's good you have to stick it out until you get to the other side of the herx.

parasites absolutely have a lifecycle. while people do treat parasites alongside lyme and co-infections the best way to get rid of them is to kill the bacteria first (whom they primarily feed on) and that breaks the food chain so to speak then you kill off the parasites a lot easier. hard to get rid of parasites when you are still dealing with lyme and co's.

that's why lyme disease is a complicated illness part of it is killing off the big stuff first and keep going layer by layer smaller and smaller until it's all gone.

lyme and co's are the ROOT CAUSE. get rid of them and many other things will fall into place but we do need to treat some of these things alongside due to our symptoms as well as take stuff to better manage our symptoms since it usually takes a long time to resolve these infections and we don't want to be in perpetual debilitating pain the whole time.
