Spiragal- It sounds like a porphyric reaction, especially with getting worse in the sun and the xanax helping: porphyrins are photoreactive and tend to build up in skin for some people; xanax, like propanalol, controls the anxiety and tachycardia symptomatically.

The best counter is lot's of H2O and taking the charcoal at least 12 caps two or three times a day to bring the porphyrins down. And you have to do this over a number of days to bring your load down enough because you are continually producing them in a prolonged die-off, and they just get reabsorbed without something to bind them, i.e. continue taking the charcoal.

Temperature drops are more likely due to endotoxini release and seem best countered by EmergenC doses, or other quick acting Vitamin C.

I used to need to do a Vitamin C flush when things got out of hand. See http://www.cpnhelp.org/vitamin_c_flush_for_flagy

All of the CAP's here recommend D because it stimulates powerful natural antibioticsi, most people especially with infectionsi are severely depleted in it, and a lot of diseasesi like MSi are correlated with lack of it. Usually people work up gradually in doses of 1000 units D3. You got a big kick in the butt from that dose, but at least there is not doubt you have an infection!

Spiralgal, usually when someone says "I know just how you feel", the first thought is Oh, sure! But....I know exactly how you feel. I hate to say this but charcoal can help a lot, but you will have to get through the "discomfort". Boy, is THAT an understatement! When it begins to lessen, it is like spring is here, the blizzard is over, the sun rises, and the birds begin to sing. In my case, it seemed like forever but was only a matter of six months or so that was the very worst part. Then you are conscious enough to see the two forward and one back pattern emerge. It is so, so worth it. We'll be here. Take as many of the supplementsi as you possibly can - they help your body fight.

Thank you so  much...I am still wondering about this interaction of Vit. D. I n the past up till now, I have had no problem hanging out in the sun.  Is it that I didn't have that much D at once.  Also, I have mega-dosed D in the winter with no ill effects.  Maybe as my AS has gotten so bad in the last few months that the infection has increased for some reason.  Do you have any sources or sites for this Vit. D issue?  I feel stupid and can't get my head wrapped around it.  Also, do you know if apple pectin works like charcoal?  I tried charcoal for 2 days, but not much as I got constipated.

 

Thank you, thank you!

Spiralgal,

I am curious... what dose and how often are you taking this D3? I'm trying to decide whether or not to take more than the amount in my daily multi vite (400 ius) because I'm concerned about getting flattened by it!

PS Are you sure it's D3 and not the rx for D2?  My endo sent me an rx this week for 50,000 iu's D2/week.  I don't think that's going to happen.

Hi Reenie,

 I was given 50,000 IU D3.  Both docs of mine know about the D3 vs. D2 thing.  I had no idea to be worried as I have taken this much before over 3 months, once per week with no symptoms.  I am sitting here on fire, rash on my face, headache, skipped beats and feel hyper.  I am living proof of what it can do under certain circumstances.

Hope this helps.  BTW, I was taking 4,000IU D3 per week with no reaction and still my levels were too low.  Figure that---

 

Good night to all,

Spiralgal 

OOps, I meant 4,000IU per day with no problems.
