Barb,
Thanks, I will read up more on FAQ about quercetin and how it works. I have only taken it once.

Hi Barney,
I have psoriatic lesions on my scalp. They seem to get worse when I herx.
In addition, I've had trigeminal nerve pain, which makes my head feel very sore, in certain areas. This is something I've had prior to the MP and it flares during herx.
There is nothing visible on my scalp, face or ear. Sometimes, depending on which part of the nerve hurts, it feels like an earache or scalp pain.
...I will read up more on FAQ about quercetin and how it works.

TO BED AT MIDNIGHT AND UP AGAIN AT 6AM, HAD NAUSEA MOST OF MORNING AND MOST OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING (STILL). TOOK 1 QUERCETIN IN AM BUT NAUSEA ONLY INTENSIFIED. STARTED SWEATING AND FEELING 'ROUGH' REST OF AM. LEFT EYE AND LEFT SIDE OF HEAD HURT IN AM (WAS TOLLERABLE W/O PAIN MEDS). QUERCETIN SEEMED TO EASE EYE AND HEAD PAIN AS IT SUBSIDED WITHIN 2 HRS OF QUERCETIN. DON'T KNOW IF Q HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT OR NOT, BUT DID NOT LIKE THE SWEATING AND 'ROUGH' FEELING I HAD WITH Q.
TOOK A 3 1/2 HR NAP. GOT UP FEELING JUST AS FATIGUED AS WHEN I LAID DOWN. SEEMS FATIGUE IS A MAJOR SXS IN HEALING.
NO NIGHT GARDENING FOR A COUPLE DAYS EXCEPT WATERED TONIGHT. GOT SOME GOOD VEGIES COMING UP.
WENT TO STORE TO GET SOME LEMONS AND GROUND BEEF AND STOPPED BY AND HELPED MY FRIEND WITH HER EMAILS. HOME BY 11PM (LEFT AT 830PM).

Hi Barney...I love your bold print...maybe we should all use it. I can see it better with my NoIRs. I agree that fatigue seems to be one of the major herxes.

DAY 117, 4/27/05, PHASE 2, DAY 1, CYCLE 3, BP 106/65, P80, BENICAR 20MG Q3HRS, BENICAR 40MG MIDNIGHT, 100MINO, 3/8 2ND ANTIBO, 1 ACIDOP, NO PAIN PILLS,
GOT UP WITH GREAT INTENTIONS OF GETTING A LOT ACCOMPLISHED SO I COULD MOVE INTO CYCLE 3. THOUGHT MAYBE THIS ONE WOULD PUT ME IN BED FOR A WHILE. STARTED HAVING NAUSEA AGAIN AND FEELING REALLY ROTTEN, SO I WENT BACK TO BED AT 12NOON AND SLEPT UNTIL 630PM. WONDER IF THE MALTITOL IN THE CHOC BARS IS BACK TO MAKING ME ILL AGAIN. WILL STOP THEM FOR A WHILE TO SEE IF THAT HELPS.
REALLY FATIGUED, BUT STILL ABLE TO COOK, EAT AND LOOK AFTER MY DOG. MOSTLY JUST SITTING AROUND OR SLEEPING OR COOKING SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH EFFORT.
MY EYE AND LEFT (TOP) OF HEAD BOTHERED ME AGAIN TODAY. MY EYE FEELS SOMETIMES BUT NOT ALL THE TIME LIKE SOMEONE DROVE AN ICEPICK IN IT AND THAT THE PAIN COMES OUT OF IT UP OVER THE TOP LEFT PART OF MY HEAD. IT HAS A HABIT OF COMING AND GOING. THE EYELID FEELS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING UNDER IT RUBBING/SCRATCHING IT, EXPECIALLY IN THE CORNER NEXT TO THE NOSE. ALSO FEELS SWOLLEN THERE. BEARABLE W/O PAIN PILLS.
SHOULDERS DO NOT HURT RIGHT NOW, BUT IF I HAVE TO KEEP THEM IN THE AIR FOR WHATEVER REASON, THEY GET SO TIRED, THEY ALMOST FEEL USELESS.
MISSED MY 6PM BENICAR SO TOOK IT WITH MY 9PM BENICAR. WILL WAIT UNTIL 1AM FOR MY MIDNIGHT DOSE.
ALL ELSE SEEMS WELL, EXCEPT I SURE COULD USE SOME ENERGY.
SPACEE, I LOVE THIS PRINT TOO. IT IS SO MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO READ WITH THE NOIRS AND MY HEAD IS STILL TENDER TOO, DARN THOSE LYMPH NODES.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!! BARNEY

Hi Barney,
You say you're starting Cycle 3 and you've already ramped your 2nd Abx up to 3/8??? 
Have you possibly misunderstood the Phase 2 instructions? Dr M has said it can take up to 12 mos to ramp up to 1/2 second abx.
When I was on that second abx, I stayed on the starting dose for 2 mos, w/o ever ramping up, due to herxing.
Please consider lowering your mino to 50mg, qod, for the remainder of the cycle, unless your herx becomes intolerable. (which it may already be for you, from the sound of it)
If intolerable, take mino 50mg, daily, for the remainder of this cycle and lower your next Z dose down. I would consider going back to the first cycle dose, since it can take a few cycles for you to realize the full herx at each ramping.

DAY 118, 4/28/05, PHASE 2, DAY 2, CYCLE 3, BP 129/85, P79, BENICAR 20MG Q3HRS, BENICAR 40MG MIDNIGHT, NO MINO, NO 2ND ANTIBO, 1 ACIDOP, NO PAIN PILLS
REENIE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU GET THE IDEA THAT MY HERX IS INTOLLERABLE. IT IS NOT. I HAVE READ OTHER POSTS (LOTS OF THEM) AND I HAVE NOT HAD ANYTHING LIKE THAT GOING ON. I HAVE NOT HAD TO TAKE LOTS OF PAIN PILLS LATELY. MAYBE I JUST DON'T FEEL AS INTENSELY AS OTHERS, I DO NOT KNOW. I HAVE LEARNED FOR 40 YEARS TO ENDURE.
I HAVE REREAD THE INSTRUCTIONS EARLIER TODAY AND IT SAID IF THE HERXS ARE NOT INTOLLERABLE TO MOVE ON. I TALKED WITH AUSSIE BARB AND MEG ABOUT THIS AND THEY TOLD ME TO PROCEED AS I WAS. NOW WHICH WAY DO I GO? I FEEL STRAIGHT AHEAD.
TODAY, THE ONLY HERX I HAVE HAD, IS SLEEPY (BUT STAYED UP LATE A LOT LATELY) BUT HAVE BEEN TAKING 3 TO 3 1/2 HR NAPS. I CAN FEEL IT WORKING ON MY EYES AND TOTAL TOP OF HEAD, ALL OF WHICH IS TOLLERABLE, NOT BAD AT ALL.
IF I AM DOING OKAY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD TO PROCEED, I SEE NO REASON NOT TOO. IF, FOR ANY REASON, HERX GET INTOLLERABLE, I WILL TAKE DR. M'S ADVICE TO BACK UP. SO FAR, IMO, SO GOOD.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!! BARNEY

Barney,
Your description sounded "intolerable" to me and you are ramping extremely quickly.
Remember, the abx will reveal inflammation in ALL of your tissues and organs, such as your kidney, heart and lungs.
It would be wise to have your kidney function checked often to be sure you're doing alright in that department, Barney.
Please do take care, as you may only be starting to get the full effects of the M+Z combo on day 5-6.

REENIE,
I WILL IN THE FUTURE EMPHASIZE WHETHER MY HERX IS TOLLERABLE (I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN) IN MY POSTS. YES, IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE BUT AS I SAID I ENDURE A LOT WITHOUT IT BOTHERING ME THAT BAD. I HAD 6 SURGERIES IN 14 MONTHS INCLUDING RIGHT KIDNEY REMOVAL AND COMPLETE HYSTERECTOMY. THAT WAS BBBBAAAADDDDD.
THE WORST HERX FOR ME IS THE FATIGUE. I AM A VERY HYPEACTIVE PERSON AND NOT HAVING THE ENERGY TO DO SOME OF THE MILLIONS OF THINGS THAT GO THRU MY MIND DRIVES ME TO THE BRINK OF INSANITY. I LIKE BEING ON THE GO BUT MP MAKES YOU REST, WHICH I AM SURE, IS WHAT WE NEED. IT IS STILL MY WORST HERX SXS.
I HAD A KIDNEY FUNCTION TEST JUST LAST MONTH AND EVERYTHING IS IN GREAT SHAPE. MY DOC GAVE ME FLYING COLORS.
I WILL TAKE HEED TO ALL YOU HAVE MENTIONED. SHOULD I FIND MYSELF IN TROUBLE, I WILL SEEK ADVICE FROM ALL (MY DOC AND MODERATORS).
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN.
TONIGHT HAS BEEN GOOD, I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD A LITTLE EXTRA ENERGY WHICH MADE ME A 'HAPPY CAMPER'.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!! BARNEY

Barney, I've discussed this with Dr Marshall. He's out of town this week and asked me to share this with you,
I agree 100% with Reenie. It takes 12 mos to work up to 1/2 tablet, usually.
Here's another comment I'd like to share with you, that Dr M previously made to me, taken from my progress report,
Posted: Thu Jan 27th, 2005 21:30,
"NOTE to myself: There are NO AWARDS for toughing it out and being more miserable than one has to on the MP. Dr M made a comment to me, which I will try to ‘live by’ while on the MP…. (paraphrased) ‘ramping too quickly may make you feel about 200% worse while only killing about 20% more bugs.’
THAT is NOT an adequate trade off IMHO.  "
Barney, please note: I am NOT trying to debate with you over what you are doing. I'm just giving you information concerning the MP so that you can decide for yourself (along with your Dr) and be safe.

REENIE,
I HAVE TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO YOU THAT I HAVE NOT HAD THE SEVERE HERXS THAT A LOT OF OTHERS HAVE HAD.
I HAVE WONDERED IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME THAT I AM NOT HERXING LIKE OTHERS ON THIS SITE.
I HAVE FOLLOWED DR. MARSHALL'S INSTRUCTIONS TO A TEE. I DID NOT GO FORWARD IF I WAS NOT FEELING UP TO PAR. I ONLY MOVED FORWARD ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE HERX SEEM TO BE THRU FOR THAT PHASE OR CYCLE.
THE ONLY HERX THAT I HAD THAT WAS INTOLLERABLE WAS THE FIRST ONE IN PHASE ONE WHEN MY JAW AND EAR AND TOOTH WERE REALLY PAINFUL. HAVE NOT HAD ONE LIKE THAT SINCE, NOT ONE THAT BAD. THE REST HAVE BEEN MILD TO MY ESTIMATION.
I AM NOT TRYING TO KILL MYSELF OR SEE HOW MUCH PAIN I CAN TOLLERATE. I DON'T LIKE PAIN ANYMORE THAN YOU DO.
I DO NOT SEE THAT I AM DOING ANYTHING WRONG.
I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW IF I HAVE ANY HERX THAT IS INTOLLERABLE. JUST FOR GENERAL INFORMATION. I STAY IN MY CAVE, HAVE NOT BEEN OUT IN DAYLIGHT FOR QUITE SOME TIME, WEAR MY NOIRS AND GET LOTS OF REST, DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS AND AM NOT HAVING TO TAKE ANY PAIN PILLS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN.
BARNEY

NO PAIN PILLS.
NO INTOLLERABLE PAIN.

MUCH MORE AND BETTER ENERGY THAN IN MANY 'MOONS'. I HAD NO IDEA I WOULD GET ANY ENERGY OR CLEAR HEADEDNESS THIS SOON. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING OF PHASE 2 AND PHASE 3 FOLKS, THIS DOES NOT COME ABOUT TILL NEAR THE END OF PHASE 3. MAYBE I SHOULD 'KNOCK ON WOOD' AFTER SAYING THAT, THE NEXT CYCLE MIGHT KNOCK ME ON MY BEHIND.
FEELING GREAT FOR 2 DAYS NOW. HEAD IS VERY CLEAR. DROVE TO TOWN (AFTER DARK) WITH VERY CLEAR THOUGHTS OF DRIVING AND ALL THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE TOWN.
WENT TO 82 YR OLD FRIENDS HOUSE TO HELP HER WITH HER COMPUTER AND TAKE DONUTS TO HER (SHE SAID SHE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE). HAD TO WAKE HER UP, BUT DIDN'T FEEL BAD, THE DONUTS COMPENSATED FOR NO SLEEP. (HAHA)
I WALKED THRU PLANTS AT WALMART. THEY ACTUALLY HAD A SMELL THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD (THEY SMELLED GREAT) AND NO ASTHMA PROBLEMS. NO PROBLEM IN THE FERTILIZER AISLE EITHER. FANTASTIC. THAT AISLE USUALLY DOES ME IN COMPLETELY. REMEMBER, FROM MY POSTS AWHILE BACK, NOTHING SMELLED GOOD TO ME AND EVERYTHING GAVE ME BREATHING PROBLEMS INCLUDING ASTHMA ATTACKS. I JUST LITERALLY AVOIDED EVERYTHING.
THE OTHER NIGHT AT KMART I WENT DOWN THE AISLE WITH AIR FRESHNER AND THEY DID NOT EVEN HAVE A STRONG ODOR.
ALL THIS MAKES MP SO GREAT.
I STILL MISS THE OUTDOORS DURING SUNLIT HOURS, BUT JUST WHAT I HAVE HAD IN THE LAST 2 DAYS MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE.
NO PAIN PILLS, NO INTOLLERABLE HERXS.
A FANTASTIC DAY!! I LOVE IT.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!! BARNEY

DAY 122, 5/2/05, PHASE 2, DAY 6,CYCLE 3, BP 130/83/ p91, BENICAR 20MG Q3HRS, BENICAR 40MG, 1ACIDOP, NO MINO, NO 2ND ANTIB, 1 PAIN PILL, EVERYTHING TOLLERABLE BUT USED PAIN PILL TO TAKE EDGE OFF.
NECK WAS A LITTLE ACHY THIS AFTERNOON. WAS A LITTLE TENSE BECAUSE I HAD TO GO OUT IN DAYLIGHT TO DOCS OFFICE.
GOOD DAY EXCEPT FOR: ONLY GOT 4 HOURS SLEEP (NOT BECAUSE OF INSOMNIA). WENT TO BED TOOOOO LATE AND GOT UP WAY TOOO EARLY AND MISSED MY NAP. MY EYES FELT LIKE ALLERGY EYES WITHIN AN HOUR OF GOING OUT IN THE SUN (VERY DRY). I WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH NOIRS ALSO.
LEFT AT 330PM WENT TO DOCS, DROPPED LETTERS OFF AT POST OFFICE, WENT TO "GRANNY'S" (MY FRIEND) AND STAYED AT HER HOUSE, WHICH IS TOO LIGHT FOR A CAVE DWELLER. SHE CLOSED ALL BLINDS. LEFT HER HOUSE AFTER DARK AND WENT SHOPPING FOR A FEW IMPORTANT THINGS (IE TP) ETC.
ENJOYED THE OUTING, BUT TOMORROW WILL TELL HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO THE BODY FROM THE SUN EXPOSURE. WE'LL SEE IF I SELL LIKE A BALOON.
ACTUALLY THIS WAS AN EXPERIMENT, MY LAST GRANDCHILD GRADUATES MAY 20TH AND SHE IS SORTA 'MY BABY' AND SHE IS JUST INSISTENT ON ME COMING TO ALBQ FOR IT (300 MILES). SHE'S PROMISED DARK WINDOWS AND I DEFINITELY WILL DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEN MY 'ADOPTED' GRANDDAUGHTER CALLED AND SHE IS GRADUATING THE SAME DAY, SAME SCHOOL BUT HER PARTY IS THE SUNDAY BEFORE. THEY SAID THEY WILL UNDERSTAND IF I DO NOT GET TO COME. I TOLD THEM THAT THIS EXPERIMENT WITH THE SUN WILL TELL ME WHAT I MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT DO. WE WILL SEE. I MIGHT JUST TAKE A HOLIDAY AND STOP MEDS TO GO.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!!! BARNEY

THIS IS DAY AFTER BEING OUT IN THE SUN. WENT TO DOCS, PICKED UP MEDS, WENT TO POST OFFICE AND OVER TO FRIENDS WHERE WE PULLED ALL HER BLINDS SHUT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
I REALLY EXPECTED TO BE SWOLLEN IN FACE, EYES, HANDS AND FEET. I WAS NOT SWOLLEN AT ALL. WHAT A SWEET TREAT. THE ONLY THING I NOTICED THIS MORNING WAS MY LEFT KNEE (WHICH THEY WANTED TO REPLACE AND I SAID NO). IT WAS AAAHHH SORE, OR TIGHT OR MUSCLES WERE NOT LIKING ME OR WHATEVER.
TOOK A 2 HOUR NAP TODAY ON PURPOSE. IT HAS BEEN A WILD STRESSFUL DAY. THE POLICE CAUGHT A YOUNG MAN WITH A GUN ON HIS WAY TO MY GRANDDAUGHTER'S SCHOOL. AFTER A HIGH SPEED CHASE, THEY PUT HIM IN JAIL. PRAYING THE REST OF THE YEAR IS COMPLETED ALL OVER THE US WITH NO PROBLEMS.
STRESS IS HARD ON US EVEN WHILE WE ARE ON MP AND I REALLY BELIEVE IT TAKES A BIG TOLL ON OUR BODIES EVEN THO WE THINK IT DOESN'T.
ALL ELSE SEEMS WELL ...SO.. HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!!! BARNEY
PS GARDEN DOING WELL, MORE COMING UP, NIGHT TIME GARDENING ONLY.

WOKE AFTER ONLY 5 HRS SLEEP TO TAKE 6AM BENICAR. GOT UP TO WATER GARDEN BEFORE SUN CAME UP.
DID SOME LAUNDRY (2 LOADS), COOKED DINNER, WENT TO STORE (AFTER DARK).
CAME HOME AND CHOPPED 4 BIG AFRICAN RUE PLANTS FROM MY DRIVEWAY. I HATE THOSE WEEDS. THEY HAVE NOT FOUND A SPRAY THAT WILL KILL THEM AND THEIR ROOTS GO AS DEEP AS 12 FEET (I HATE POISION SPRAYS ANYWAY). ALL YOU CAN DO IS KEEP CHOPPING THEM AND THEY STINK SO BAD I WILL HAVE TO TAKE A ZYRTEC TONIGHT. THEY REALLY GET TO ME. THAT IS THE ONLY SMELL THAT SEEMS TO BE AFFECTING ME. (YOU ARE PROBABLY WONDERING HOW I CAN SEE WEEDS AFTER DARK.....CAR HEADLIGHTS.
TOOK AFTERNOON NAP FROM 12 NOON UNTIL 4PM. I REALLY GOOFED, WHEN I HAD THOSE 3 DAYS OF ENERGY, I WENT CRAZY STAYING UP TOO MUCH AND TRYING TO GET TOO MUCH WORK DONE THAT I HAD BEEN LETTING GO.
AM TRYING TO REALLY GET MY REST. MY BACK (MIDDLE), AND GENERAL BODY ACHE CONVINCED ME TO TAKE 1 PAIN PILL TO TAKE THE EDGE OFF.
ALL HERX IS TOLLERABLE TODAY.
HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!!!!! BARNEY

NO PAIN, JUST LOTS OF SLEEP IN THE DAYLIGHT HOURS.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY (TO ALL MOTHERS ON MP), HANG IN THERE, WE WILL MAKE IT!!! BARNEY
