I'm getting so frustrated with myself. Everytime boaz puts me on a new protocol (I've been in treatment about 3 weeks and it's changing all the time) I have to email him after a couple of days to reduce the herbs as my die off is INSANE. Right now I'm only taking 1/4 gml 1/8 goldenseal and 1/8 mega twice a day and I feel like my perineum is trying to kill me. It's become so swollen and sore that it's unbearable. Before this I was having terrible dizzy fits that left me unable even to get up to pee so I had to reduce the herbs then as well. I feel like I'm taking such tiny tiny amounts of the herbs and wish I was strong enough to take more. It's a bit scary as after reading the forum others seem to start on much higher doses :(
Katie, I had the horrible
Katie, I had the horrible swelling you describe. It came and went some for the first4 months. The herbs will change consistently because the body is changing. Don't get hung up comparing to everyone else. Your body is going through die-off and that within itself is wonderful!!!! If you are getting that much die-off from fewer herbs I say "good for you"!!!! Just go with it and remember good feelings come alot of times after die-off. Keep hanging in there.
Relative amount is not
Relative amount is not important at all. Seriously. Your body takes what it needs, that is the wonderful thing about this particular treatment- they tailor it to you. Seriously, there is absolutely no point in comparing yourself to anyone else. I know this whole thing is scary and frustrating but at least you could take the comparison issue off your list of worries
Patti and Deir are so right,
Patti and Deir are so right, don't compare as we are all so very different. I have been in treatment for awhile and can only take a mere tiny dusting of mega. I find less is best for me. You will get it dialed in with Boaz's help. You are moving your body toward healing!
thanks ladies,
thanks ladies,
Its just so frustraiting. I'll get a really positive sign of die off like urine bubbles or a fluey head but then I'll have to back right off as my vulvodynia will become unbearable and there's a limit to how much pain I can handle. Patti, did you have the perineal discomfort before treatment? I did, but it was a recent symptom and I'd only had it for about 6 months. Any idea what it is? Its by far my worst symptom, more painful than my bladder by a long way and some of the worst pain I have ever had!
I did not have it before
I did not have it before treatment. Definitely was die-off for me. So painful to try to sit. I think it is a Lymph issue. Probably when you get where you can tolerate more herbs Boaz will be able to move some of that inflamation out of there. I applied ice packs and that helped. I layed in bed alot too.
Patty I really hope itsok but
