I sound like a broken record when I keep saying this, but my stomach is still a hot mess! I don't know what it feels like to have an appetite because I've been shoving food down for the past 10 days. But sometimes these herx like flares last longer than others so I expected that.
The Saturday before last was the best day I have had in 8 months so it's bittersweet because I got a chance to see what feeling really good is like, and bad because then I went into this rut I'm in. But I'm just focusing on having another day like that soon.
Taking Vial 7 today! 9 days left of this series! So excited!

My poor poor stomach has really been struggling. It's my biggest complaint still with the last dose too. Pain, cramps, nausea, lack of appetite, always feeling full, yuck. Im hoping as the doses go along the inflammation from my stomach will clear & it will feel better!

I took dose 6 today, praying it doesn't get worse!

Yikes, Vial 4 was terrible! Last time I took Vial 4 going the opposite direction it flared my stomach, and its doing the same thing this time around too. I've had a hard time even getting fluids down without feeling very full & sick. So it hasn't been an easy time, but then I remember how happy I was to have had those 5-6 days in a row before this that were good. Also, right now is when my Lyme cycle is flaring (the 18th-20th of every month), so the two together = pretty tough.

Vial 5 today...which means im HALFWAY DONE with this round. Yay!

Relatively easy dose. I actually had one of my most active days ever Saturday which was wonderful. I learn to really cherish the good days now because it's a sign of improvement.
Short post, but positive update on a dose for once!

I don't want to jinx myself, but this dose was tolerable. Not great, but tolerable! Today I took Vial 3, so we shall see if it effects me differently.
I usually get exhausted around 6-7 every day, especially if I spend time outdoors. So I'm trying to remember to detox before it gets tough.
Hope everyone is having great days!

The day of taking this dose was tough, but the day after was easily one of the toughest. In between the almost constant herxes these past 10 days it's hard to tell if there has been any improvement. When you herx nothing feels good, but I'm confident once the dust settles I will see the work it's done.
I keep wishing one day I'll wake up & my motion sensitivity will be gone. Honestly every day I wake up I open my eyes thinking today will be "the day." But then I watch TV, and a funky camera turn causes my whole room to spin & I am quickly reminded nope! Oh if only my visual hypersensitivity would heal so I could start to drive again I would be the happiest girl in the world. You can count on me being excited to get gas. Anything!
But I know that day will come. Not on my time, but in gods time. I have this odd sense of calm about everything, I never have "cabin fever" or a fear of things because I feel extremely at ease. I know God has it all figured out for me. I'm just here to learn some patience & keep trucking along.

Vial 2 up today!

I've been slacking on updating this, but it's been a rough week!! The weekend as I said was pretty terrible. Then Monday I took Dose 2 (my last dose). So it was just a lot all at once & it led to an even longer struggle of a week. So I have been majorly out of it!
Today I'm starting my second round of Bartonella treatment! Im starting with the highest dose at 1 and moving downwards, so I expect the next 2 weeks to also be pretty tough. I'm bracing myself though & I'm ready!
Hope everyone had a great week

I'm really happy we thought ahead & got an IV as well as an extra massage for this weekend, because it was a rough dose. Migraines & herxes that felt like they lasted forever. Sunday & Sunday night was by far the worst. Today was also hard, I feel beyond exhausted & my headache won't seem to go away. Ive had very low blood pressure & come close to fainting multiple times, so its been a big stressor. But these are the strongest doses so I expected it to also be the hardest.
I took vial 2, my LAST DOSE in this series today! So that means one round down of the Bartonella treatment, 2-3 more to go. I am so excited about this! It's keeping motovated!

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!

After vial 5 I was terrified to take the next dose, but luckily my noise sensitivity calmed down. I got a massage which was very helpful for me to get the toxins cleared out & feel better. 
My stomach, which was much better for a while gave me more trouble this time around. My motion sensitivity is also staying bothersome. I notice it when I try to watch action on TV or play certain games on my phone. But I consider it to be good because I know treatment is working.
Today is a full moon which is a VERY tough time for Lymies. The gravitational pull makes us more sick & I really have no pin point reason why. But I can feel it coming. I also cut back on some hormones which is hard on me, and the pressure change from the hurricane storm moving in feels like its crushing my head (I'm VERY sensitive to major pressure systems). My blood pressure was 80/50 today so that describes how I feel in a nutshell! Oh AND I took my second to last dose. 
With all that on one day we decided to help me out so I got IV fluids for the next 4 days & I got another massage. I'm taking all the precautions!
I took vial 3 today. Last one Monday... Thank God!! I'll report back once I come out from hiding after this stormy weekend.
