I suffer from Lyme, Babesia, Ehlrichosis, and Bartonella. I am taking Japanese Knotweed plus (which also includes Cordyceps, Eleuthero, and Licorice Root), Houttuynia, Cryptolepis Sanguine, Wild Oil of Oregano, and nano silver along with some other vitamin supplements. I have terrible anxiety which seems to be getting better as I continue my treatment but I still battle with anxiety. However I have noticed especially on days where I feel like I am herxing (with some symptoms like cold hands, elevated anxiety, heart palpitations, bad body aches and pains, brain fog, irritability, etc.) that my energy level is low and I fall a sleep (for a few minutes or a little longer) a few times during the day especially when I am sitting at my desk doing work on the computer or relaxing and watching TV. I was wondering is this a normal herx reaction or normal when fighting Lyme and its co-infections? Some days this happens 2 to 3 times a day. Today it's happened twice while on my computer and I had 8 hours of sleep last night. I did some deep breathing exercises earlier in the day since I felt anxiety kick up and that helped the anxiety this morning. I am wondering could it also be my doing deep breathing exercises earlier in the day are causing me to fall asleep later in the day or is it something else? I also notice if I overeat a very large meal this happens too. But it has happened on an empty stomach too. I also have had elevated Cortisol issues during the day in the past which was by a Cortisol test about
a year and half ago, this caused me to feel restless all day long and then in the evening crash (where I was so tired I could barely walk) where I could barely make it to bed.
Thanks for your help.
