Herxing

I was so excited to finally be feeling somewhat better! Now, I am back on Tindamax and Biaxin. I have been continually taking the Biaxin for two months now but I am taking Tindamax on a three week pulsing schedule. I started taking Tindamax again nine days ago. I am feeling the herxing effects. I am so much more fatigued than I was just ten days ago. It is hard for me to leave the house this week. My brain feels so foggy. I hope that my blog entries actually make sense. I woke up in the middle of the night last night feeling strange-I actually felt extremely hung over, and yet, I have not had any alcohol in weeks. I got up to eat because I figured that my blood sugar was low. After I got back into bed, I broke into an uncomfortable sweat. I felt so hot. I had to take all my pajamas off. At least I could see the humor in the situation. As the day as progressed, I have been alternating between freezing and overheating. I hope that these symptoms mean that the Babesia are dying and releasing their toxins in me. I just have to stay focused on the fact that this drug is helping me overall. I have to endure feeling worse before I can feel better.

Have you ever heard of mangosteen juice? It contains something called xanthones. These xanthones have been researched and may have the ability to help with this disease. If you are interested please email me and I will give you the site to find the research. The product is all natural and the fruit has been used for centuries for all sorts of problems with no side affects. It is food, a nutritional supplement. Shannon Yochum
