First of all...I have taken ivermectin twice week for about a year...I have recently cut down to once a week. Also, my daughter had Lyme disease in the 90's...my guess is you did NOT have an undiagnosed case of Lyme disease...there are some unmistakable symptoms that you can't miss.

You are asking some things that truly can't be known without some testing. Your first dose of ivermectin eliminated migraine headaches...that is some fantastic results...who knows. Migraine headaches can be caused by MANY things so the cause and effect of all that really can't be known. It sounds like you have some instability with you blood sugar if you were having problems being able to go long periods without food. I do intermittent fasting and only drink water for about 16 hours and eat within an 8 hour window...with no problem.

When you had your second dose of ivermectin and you had a series of symtoms...did you check your blood pressure? I had an unexpected high blood pressure episode that seemed very similar to what you are describing...including wondering if I should go to the ER...I have no idea what brought the BP surge on...

I personally don't think you were having a herxheimer effect from one dose of ivermectin...even if it did kill some parasites. It is good but not that good...also if you use ivermectin as part of a parasite cleanse there is a specific protocol you need to follow that includes the different life cycle stages of the parasites.

Like I said my daughter had Lyme disease so I am very aware of the herxheimer effect and how to avoid it...especially when detoxing or cleansing...

I think your second reaction was a one off of something unknown. If I were you I would read and become educated on some of the topics you are throwing out...knowledge is power...

Good luck and God bless you...
