I have had headaches where I could not sleep recently, once quite recently after I was sick sick, but also a few other times right before a "detox" period.
Detox periods for me have been like this: Headaches, extreme fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, general uptick in pain and and all-over body tenderness and sensitivity. I have also had chills, mild* fevers, swollen glands, digestive upsets (tummy boiling and burning, sharp pains in digestive tract), rashes, uveitis, coated tongue, bad breath and body odor, weird smelling urine, constipation or the opposite and itchiness.
I have had low body temperatures, too, but not below 97 that I know of.
Michelle, I definitely hope that whatever is going on for you, whether it is detox, tertiary flu stuff, coming off antibiotics or a combination, ends very soon! Please keep us updated on how you are, and really, truly take very good care of yourself!
XOXOXO
Nicole
*I accidentally typed "milf fevers" first, which I corrected, but then thought was too funny not to at least add here. MILF Fever! Whoo Hoo!
Nicole - thanks so much for the complete list of all the symptoms of detox and yep it's clear to me that's what I am doing, being it food or the Tamiflu and/or antibiotics. Due to the really metallic taste I had going - I tend to think it's mostly the drugs. Also, thanks for the new texting abbr. Not one I'll be able to use myself, but funny
Another question -- have you ever gone through a period of detoxing that was out of the blue - no real connection to an actual fasting period, bad foods, or other toxic load?
xoxoxox & oao - Michelle
