Started herb treatment 11 days ago, and started with lower does than plan calls for. Yesterday morning I took the first full doses called for but did not take evening doses because I felt odd all day.

Woke up this morning very cold but no chills. Body temperature is usually 96.8 to 97.1 when I wake up and moves to 97.4 or 97.6 by about 11 am. Today it stayed in the mid 96s until about 2:30, when it usually goes up to 97.6 or more.

Is this normal for this early in treatment on herbs? Also feel less emotional in the mornings than I did but dead tired by 5pm. I'm concerned the herbs will not be enough.

As I understand it, it's common in Lyme patients, but have you had your thyroid checked out? Mine was in the 95s and 96s and I've gotten it up to high 97s with NatureThroid. I have Hashimotos. Keep monitoring, but don't obsess about it. Temps fluctuate throughout the day. Take it first thing in the morning, before you get out of bed. My feet are always cold. I use mix of black pepper oil (two drops) in olive oil (2 tbsp) in a dropper and rub on my feet. Works like a charm.

Many herbs or teas chill the body because they are of 'cold' nature in Chinese traditional medicine.

For example, green tea, taken no matter in which temperature, will chill the body, as well as chlorella. Very 'cold' herbs.

I usually balance them with hot food, hot herbs (like fermented teas are usually warm), spices such as cinnamon, garlic, too.

Chills and feeling cold (low grade 'fever') are a hallmark for lyme too. I'd been on totally chilly, to cold, then to totally freezing, from times to times.

And herxes, for me, could cause chills.

Tired by 5pm? Consider yourself lucky!! I was dead tired the whole day!! smile

Less emotional is good, I find (less neuro lyme, probably...).

What herbs are you on?

Taking Dr. Rawls Vital Plan. Have had trouble moving up to full treatment. Temperature hit a new low- personal record this morning at 96.2. Confused by that since I started treatment.

The anxiety is better. Not sure if that is form herbs or I started going back to neuro feedback sessions, which have helped immensely over the years. Went several years without needing it, but the Lyme coming back changed that. It has been a saver for me.

Will check into herbs for warming. And I agree, Jinna. Happy to have some energy through day. Wake up on "near crazy" side with some anxiety and finish tired. I make myself exercise, which helps both mentally and physically.

Haven't checked thyroid because that means going to the doctor, which leads to a doctor telling me you can't get Lyme in the south, which leads to me wanting to tell the doctor he/she knows nothing . nono

Sometimes it's hard to tell if you're getting better or getting worse. But to stop trying is not an option.

right...

There are a couple of thyroid medicines I'm using now, totally 'energy medicine'...

You got to ask someone to order these for you. Check Vital Force Technology, dr. Kronn.

I know 3 medicines they did, specific for thyroid. My lyme doctor is using some of his products, and me too.

It's a bit like homeopathy, but even 'stronger' somehow.

they have Thyroid Support formula, then Iodine, then T3! Price is about 20-25 dollars a bottle. I'm recently using their hormones (like pregnenolone, estrogen, stuff like that) and really enjoying the heat feeling.

I'm still testing these remedies... But no side effects, no chemical molecules either! And some effect, anyway!

you can also order TSH or T3 in homeopathic dilutions, or thyroid sarcodes. That is what I was doing before I knew dr. Kronn's products.

The problem is that homeopathy is being nagged here in Germany /Switzerland, so I have more trouble finding such hormones.

Will look into thyroid if things don't change in next week or so. How are you treating Lyme and how long?
