Onions

Hello 'All' - has anyone noticed an increase in 'herx' symptoms several hours after eating 'onion' - I know garlic can do this.  I am back on antibiotics [doxycycline] and have been o.k.'ish untill today - I ate some onion last night and whilst I was preparing it I was wondering to myself if it might have the same affect as garlic!  I am going to wait untill I feel o.k. again and try some more to see if I get a reaction.

Wishing everyone well.

I think I've read that onions have some of the same antibacterial effect that garlic does.

(Hmm, that makes me hungry ... !  Time for a snack.)

well yesterday [Thursday] - the day after the 'onion' herxy feeling - I felt a lot worse, increased anxiety,pain, bloating etc; at one point I thought I was going to pass out.

Here's an odd thing - [nothing to do with onions] - one of my 'hard headed' dogs [bull terriers!] - managed to hit me in the jaw with his head, it sent an odd sensation into the top of my head, then whilst I was trying to fall of to sleep that night,[hours after the 'head butt'],  I had like a 'jolt' right in the area my dog had 'butted' me, I hadn't had any pain from it, in fact I had forgotten all about it untill the very odd 'jolt', it was something like an electric shock I guess.  I have no pain/soreness in my jaw.

Wierd!!

Ouch!  I can't tell who is tougher, you or your dog!

I find that when I am feeling Lyme-ish, my nerves are very sensitive to shocks of all kinds.  If it gets worse or doesn't go away, you might think to see the doctor, okay?

Take care!!  J.
