I have been diagnosed as positive for biotoxins and my CD-57 was "11" which doc tells me is low and indicative of Lyme or Mold illness. I know that I've been exposed to mold and have the HLA genotype that precludes getting rid of the toxins.
Here's my concern. I haven't had any Lyme tests done (yet). I understand that they aren't very conclusive anyway. I did grow up in a swampy tick infested rural area and had a few ticks growing up.
I was taking cholestryamine once daily until I had my apt ERMI tested. The test came back okay (to where doctor says my place is ok to stay there). Then I began taking 2, 3, and then 4 packets per day (along with zeolite clay and charcoal--Shoemakers mold shake). At that point I started feeling quite a bit of malaise, hives (something I've never had), and tingling pins and needle sensations mostly in my arms and legs.
DOES THIS MEAN I'M HERXING? From my understanding, herxing on CSM is pretty much exclusive to those infected with Lyme. This has me concerned. Could it just be that I'm detoxing quickly from mold (and other nasty toxins)? I sure hope I don't have lyme on top of all the other stuff I've tested pos for!
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
BTW, I'm not vegan anymore. Doc told me I had to at least do some fish and eggs.
