Feel like herbs are doing me more harm than good

Anyone else feel like this? Is it just a case of sticking with them, I have significantly decreased my dose after feeling dizzy but now I have this shoulder and subtle arm pain, I was symptom free.

Granted they don’t stop me from doing anything or require painkillers but could it be the herbs?

Herbs need to be administered gently. Your body has to get used to them. You should be doing small increases and not a lot of new herbs at the same time.

So assuming you are doing that, yes you can get flares with herbs.

I always thought of it like the herbs found the lyme bugs hiding in certain spots and the herbs were chasing them out of hiding to kill them.

As long as you can function, it could be a flare. Lyme loves to come and go. Remember detoxing and eating SUPER healthy, staying stress free and getting good sleep. They are just as important medicine as the herbs.

Here is a great article on flares and herxes: www.tiredoflyme.com/herx-vs-flare-up.html

We all struggle to figure out this lyme thing. There are so many parts to it all. It is not just taking medicine like other illnesses. It is diet, emotional health, physical health, eating habits, detoxing, sleep patterns, etc.

It is the whole enchilada. And it is difficult to juggle all of those components.

Thank you, yeah I was symptom free for a couple of months, I read an article saying sometimes toxins left over from a herx can cause inflammation even 12 months later, who knows! For now I will continue with these and see how I get on if I feel they are not right will look into alternatives
