Tara,
I am new to all this too having started NB recently. From the little i have learned I know that things may get worse before they get better and what you are feeling right now could be dumping copper symptom which is actually a good thing. This means progress.
Things will be shifting and you are soon due for a re-test so you will be able to see what is happening and maybe adjust your supplements accordingly.
I too have been feeling increased anxiety and just feeling blah so much that i had to back off from the supplements for a while. It is very hard for me to do this during the summer because the kids are home and expect to be doing things with me.
If you can get through this period i know you will make progress and then start to feel improvements rather than worse. You have done great so far, much better than me. I have been going too slow.
So are you bed ridden because of fatigue?

My first four months were pretty terrible with anxiety (and I refused to decrease my supplements). Then I had a relatively good two months and now I guess my body is tackling another layer and the anxiety is back. So this time I am taking a short (one week) break from my supplements and that has definitely helped.

At first I really did not want to take breaks or decrease my supplements because I wanted to get better as quickly as possible however I now understand that if the healing reactions are too extreme, it may limit your overall progress.

Tara,
Two thoughts. You are due for a retest at four months and you may be feeling extra bad because the supplements are no longer right for you. My friend was in the four lows and at about 3-4 months she started feeling really fatigued, she retested and had moved out of the four lows so the supplements were too sedating for her. Once she switched to her new protocol things got much better.

Second thought- if you are still in the four lows this is very normal to have times of feeling really terrible. My first four months in the four lows were pretty rough. I felt I had absolutely no ability to cope with stress because my body was so sedated by all the supplements. Because I had little ability to cope with stress I had a very difficult time when something quite stressful happened in my life and I pretty much fell apart for a little while. Looking back I realize my body was just so exhausted and I couldn't do stress in any form at that point. But I survived and things got better shortly after.

I'm still in the four lows but I have gotten much stronger regarding dealing with stress although i still guard myself from too much of it.

Do you know about the NB support group on Facebook, it's a wonderful resource if you're looking for more encouragement!

Best of luck!

Yes, healing the body naturally takes some time. I really didn't start to feel noticeably better until 5.5 months on the program.

I stuck close to my NB protocol and was careful not to add or subtract anything that was not recommended. I came out of the 4 low pattern after 4 months.

Good luck and speedy healing!
