Ya, really frustrating. I should've had my enbrel injection about 1 week ago. It's not working, so I've axed it. Herxheimer? I think the potato didn't help the situation but I'm very confident it was the beans. I did everything else right. Full AIP, very low stress/de-stressing, one hour walk in nature, really healthy foods, mindful of fructose consumption(under 15g's), no awkward positions on the couch or elsewhere for long periods, massage from the Wifey. I did everything right knowing that my experiment depended on it.
I woke up after only 5 hrs sleep at about a 5-7 pain scale. I had a reall long, hot shower and put some zostrix hp(capsaisin as per dr ayers' rec) on and felt COMPLETELY drained of all energy. I passed out for 9 more hours and woke up at about a 3. It stayed at about a 2-3 for most of the day but I feel a lot better today.
Thank the PS gods that I had a BM immediately after waking yesterday. That used to crush me before when I would flare and not be able to go for 3 days without doing an enema. I really don't like doing enemas but used to find it necessary and helpful. Sorry for talking about my BM's all the time but I used to really struggle with that and from reading 1000's of posts here, I've noticed that a lot of others do too. If one is tolerant of PS, it really seems to be the answer.
Thanks for your concern Coopa, means a lot.
