Started treatment for toxoplasmosis 3 days ago. serious herx, suggesting major die-offs (fingers crossed). The odd (and frightening) part is the feeling of "being able to feel" optic nerve/pre-frontal cortex and the formications/pressure/sensations tripled from baseline. 1/n
This was something that really started for me (or at least got a lot worse) after the 2nd covid vaccine. Toxoplasmosis is known to affect the brain and eyes and is a major risk in immunocompromised. I can tell something is going on in there. 2/n
Sure wish I had an infectious disease specialist in my pocket! I am on the Buhner protocol stephenharrodbuhner.com/wp-content/upl… as the western medical approach was way to toxic for my comfort. 3/n
It is recommended to be on this mix of Sophora flavescens, Astralagus, Skullcap, Artemesian, Veronia for 21 days and then to take a few days break and then do another 21 days. 4/n
I did an additional pathogen test from Vibrant Wellness to assess Toxo infection but given the abnormal DOPAC (10x upper limit) - it seemed clear that a pathogen was involved. 5/n
Anything that affects vision is scary and Toxo can actually cause blindness when untreated. Not worried worried, but still...a bit worried. 6/n

I also want to mention that I have been assuming a cause of some of my symptoms that is probably not correct. Eye symptoms began around time of 2nd vaccine but even if vaccine was the trigger it is the underlying Toxo that is the issue 7/n

I cancelled an opthamology appt. about 8 months ago as getting to big city was too much for me. I knew I should have followed up on the eye pain and sensations but put it down to #MECFS and #Migraine. Kicking myself. 8/n
I am thinking that the vaccine reactivated the latent infection which I could have had for decades or it could have been 2013 (raising feral kittens in Panama year). In immunocompromised folks this Toxo reactivation can cause a form of toxo that is more ocular related. The latin… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
So I am kinda hoping this is a toxo reactivation and treating it will actually give me a major baseline increase. I think this kind of situation is very common in #MECFS and is one reason why @remissionbiome wants to pathogen test everyone who does the protocol right off the bat.
