Well it all started yesterday afternoon. After a semi-productive morning working around the house, it hit me. The major herxing has begun. Only 2 and a half days on 200 mg of doxy. And this is considered a low dose. I beleive this is just to address some of my co-infections. I am supposed to begin the biaxin on Saturday but will start Sunday in hopes that I can make it to my daughter's graduation without any problems. I am really nervous about starting the high dose of biaxin given all the herxing I am already having! My head has literally felt detached from my body, like it was floating above me and attached by a rubber band. The dizzy spells and vertigo would come and go but they are worse than before. If I am standing still my body will sway slightly back and forth as if I am on a boat. Things got progressively worse. The air hunger, which I hate the most, kicked in close to bed time. It made it really difficult to sleep. I was so very tempted to take a lorazapam for the anxiety but talked myself out of it. I haven't had to take any of this since begining the natural supplements back on April 1st! I kept telling myself, a good nights sleep and all will be better in the morning. no such luck, morning sucked too! Another coffee enema and actually ate breakfast and this all seemed to help. I did better this afternoon after a long nap, but took my medication this evening and here it goes again. So so hard on these days.
I am strong, I can do this, I will be healthy, I will be well.
Thank God for my family and my supportive husband and parents. I don't know how they deal with a dead weight but I love them more for it.
