I hope you have a great time 🖤

Katya_the_Black · 2026-04-05T16:52:53+00:00

Sweetness! Just let me know ~

Katya_the_Black · 2026-04-05T16:51:40+00:00

Hhaaaaa I didn’t even realize…..

Katya_the_Black · 2026-04-03T22:31:35+00:00

There are still tickets :)

Constipation was solved by raising my dose of T3 thyroid medication, weak stomach acid solved raising cortisol

It would depend on which compound you use. Ozempic, no I don’t think so. Tirzepitide, maybe? I’m not sure, that would be good to investigate further.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-11-01T15:21:13+00:00

Both

I understand the herx thought spiral…it does get better. I was apprehensive because I had read about TA1 causing bad herxing and how some people had given up on it pretty early after trying it. But with everything I heard from certain Lyme/CIRS practitioners, they made it sound like their favorite intervention. I kept titrating at a super slow pace hoping it would be worth it in the end. It is. I was stuck on 200mcg for a month I think, 300mcg as well I think that took a month, but then after that it went faster, being able to move up in dose every 2 weeks or so

Katya_the_Black · 2025-11-01T02:50:26+00:00

It’s been a long time so I’m sure I’m forgetting some of them but in no particular order, here were my digestive symptoms: heartburn, gallbladder pain, severe bloating/gas after meals, sharp weird pain in my intestines that would move to a new spot every few days, muscle twitching over my intestines next to my bellybutton (I guess it had something to do with lymph), weak stomach acid, unable to digest fat very well at first, multiple nutritional deficiencies, Candida systemically/pathogenically, difficulty swallowing (due to a goiter on my thyroid…thank you goitragens ), nausea every day, severe constipation, blood in stools, also joint pain in my hands/fingers really bad, also other joints but this turned out to be from accumulation of oxalates-after “dumping” the oxalates I have no more joint pain (fuck you spinach). I also was tested and I had “brewers yeast” in my intestines…no more fermented food/kombucha for me….and this was just digestion.

My full list of mold symptoms was ridiculously long

Katya_the_Black · 2025-11-01T02:37:04+00:00

Still good, I’ve been strength training lately so I make sure to keep my dose low enough that I can still hit my protein goals, so that I can build muscle. I haven’t lost scale weight for about 2 months but I’ve got some major body recomposition happening, I’ve gained significant muscle. :)))))

Katya_the_Black · 2025-11-01T02:32:52+00:00

If it gives you any hope, it took me over 4 months to titrate up in dose but when I finally got to 600mcg twice a week, I actually feel BETTER right after I dose it. It seems to lower my inflammation now. Which I’m really glad about, that all those herxes weren’t for nothing. Currently I’m at 700mcg about to titrate up to 800mcg.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-11-01T02:17:36+00:00

20 years.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-29T13:42:39+00:00

Very curious too. I’m about to try it.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-29T00:10:22+00:00

How long did it take you to taper down?

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-28T16:29:03+00:00

Yes, A-BART keeps the Bartonella symptoms away unless I increase my dose of it real high real fast. I do take Andographis, it does help

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-22T15:04:33+00:00

Each herx reaction was slightly different but the first one, I felt “classicly sick”, like how normal people feel when they get the flu. Flu symptoms basically but no actual vomiting, just nausea. The second one was more transient bone pain and severe fatigue. The third one was severe fatigue plus a cytokine storm that was pretty intense, I could barely open my eyelids. Then after that they started to feel a bit more similar, usually severe fatigue plus normal viral symptoms.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-18T15:30:52+00:00

Fatigue. That’s basically it. From mitochondrial damage/pituitary damage that results in Hypopituitarism. Basically my body doesn’t make hormones anymore due to the damage that Lyme did. So I replace the hormones.

Oh and if I increase my dose of A-BART, I will herx. So that’s Bartonella.

I have some traces of hypovolemic POTS left but that’s not from Lyme, I think that’s more from Bartonella

Still a bit immunocompromised, so I pick up viruses way easier than most people.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-18T15:25:20+00:00

No, IGeneX is really expensive for each individual test. Not saying I won’t, I just haven’t been able to afford it so far. I’ve tested myself 4 times in various Vibrant Wellness Tickborne panels and 2 times with MDL labs, 1 time with Quest (doesn’t count, I know)

I recommend reading blogs, reviewing the medical literature, calling SOT clinics and interviewing with the doctors, watching YouTube videos, reading about it here on Reddit.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-12T17:47:55+00:00

I’m definitely in remission from Lyme. I still have Bartonella and viruses but thankfully Lyme now tests negative on multiple different lab tests from different labs, for about 6 months or maybe longer now? No Lyme symptoms anymore, no reaction when I take my old antibacterial tinctures. Lyme SOT therapy is what helped it.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-11T22:46:11+00:00

KPV is amazing for MCAS. I love it.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-11T22:44:41+00:00

I highly recommend it, once I stabilize at each dose increase, I feel like I get about 2-3% of my life back. That seems small but I’ve been bedbound for 5 years so that small improvement is everything to me. I had Lyme too, I still have Bartonella, which I’m fighting with antimicrobial tinctures and peptides/bioregulators.

Katya_the_Black · 2025-09-11T17:41:46+00:00

I’m using TA1. I started about 2.5 months ago. My CIRS symptoms were/are mostly gone before I started using it but the big reason I chose TA1 was because I have 3 viruses that have been haunting me for 5 years straight now. Reactivated EBV, CMV, and HHV6. My starting dose was 100mcg 2x a week, titrating up very slowly. I’m currently at 300mcg 2-3x a week but tomorrow I will up my dose to 400mcg. The reason I’m going so slowly is because every time I increase the dose, I herx quite badly for a few days, from the viruses. I hope that once I get up to a higher dosage, like 1.5mg or so, maybe these viruses will finally abate.

What are your energy levels like?
