Friday August 12th 10pm. PHASE 2 / level .5 / cycle 2 / Day 3 / mino is 50mg QOD > today / Benicar 20mg Q3H / Quercetin TID
The change to Phase 2 brought me misery of memory herxing in the first week.. and then has lightened off this week.
harder gut herxing this afternoon. uncomfortable but bearable with meds doses bringing relief each time .. the rest of me is having a good break from heavy full body involvement.

Sunday August 14th 7.45am. PHASE 2 / level .5 / cycle 2 / Day 5 / mino is 50mg QOD > today / Benicar 20mg Q3H & 40mg 9pm / Quercetin TID
The chest pressure when I first lie down is a continuing symptom that I dont mention every time.. The gut herx is there all the time, kept down quiet by the meds, and begins rising when the meds are due.. tired, and eyes sludgey this morning.. runny nose. nothing much.. one day at a time.

Thank you Barney.. and to All who have sent private messages..
Monday August 15th 4.30pm. PHASE 2 / level .5 / cycle 2 / Day 6 / mino is 50mg QOD > not today / Benicar 20mg Q2H prn / Quercetin TID
As the 2H comes around a headache and sore glands start to rise.
I know that I have a lot of healing to do..
I am ok thank you.. I am finding it too much of a push to talk to anyone today, so have had the day off. That is about as well as I can describe it.. and I will be back on deck as soon as I can be..

Dear Barb,
I'm so glad to read that you're feeling a bit better. Still not good I'm sure - it takes alot to keep you down, so you must have been feeling pretty awful. The Z is pretty scary, but then so is the mino. I'll keep looking forward to good days ahead for you - soon I hope. And all of us.
No giving up, Kathleen

Barb,
You are mega tough. Your herxes seem really tough compared to mine, yet you keep posting. I am scared away by much less.
Take care, shegeek

Saturday August 20th 7.40 am. PHASE 2 / level .5 / cycle 3 / Day 1 / mino QOD > 25mg / Benicar 20mg Q3H & 40mg Q4 to 6H night / Quercetin TID
Beginning next cycle with mino 25mg: not wanting to redo the intolerable mental herx. and I had to take the 25mg sooner than 48H last cycle to keep all tolerable.
Phase 2 is different for me, in that I am generally better day to day than previously..
I can feel the gut herx rising to uncomfortable as the Mino, the Beni and or the Q are due.
less feeling of IBS now.
tired
some mild back ache
eyes quite sludgey this morning. ear has been inflamed. used ear drops.
I have a transient little pinch feeling around my Heart.
transient pulse in lips.
still cant stand and do anything for more than a couple of minutes.
still cant read a book or magazine.
all is well..

Day 1. Today has been flu like.. actively herxing. head and neck pressure, heavy eyes, sore glands, tired. gut herx.
when I said " I am generally better day to day than previously.. " I must have had memory loss.. from 1 or 2 better days after more freq mino.. at the end of the cycle.. make me smile..
