I'm back on treatment!! What a happy & also scary thing it was to get back on the horse, but now I feel like there really is no stopping me. I have quite the perseverance. I am starting my Third round now. I'll do at LEAST a third & fourth round before making decisions on what is next.
Sooo vial 1 wasn't too awful. I should add that prior to starting treatment I was incredibly sick. Herxing for like a week straight. I then got an IV which as it flushed out toxins herxed me even MORE. I can safely say that way the longest & toughest herx I have had in probably almost a year. It was frightening how much of a grip Lyme got over me again. I was nervous to begin with vial 1 but I knew it was now or never.
With that being said I had my fair share of anxiety & stomach aches with this dose. But it was do-able.
Vial 2 gave me some insane exhaustion. Last night I was so so exhausted I literally felt like I was drugged. Slurring my words, barely made it to take my contacts out & just complete zombie mode. Nothing could snap me out of it but sleep itself. A long 12 hour coma is what I experienced. And no I didn't wake up feeling much too rested! But, my body has to rest & it was practically begging for it.
Vial 3 tomorrow. I'll keep this posted!
