Bartonella Herx Part 1 - Beginning Infusion of Rifampin

Hi, it’s Sharon. I’m just starting my Rifampin infusion this morning to show the difference between before a herx and after or during a herx. Right now, before it’s starting my pain is about a four or five throughout my body. And my voice is working as you can hear. And um... Oh, it’s already starting. I’m feeling some tightness in my chest [Voice becoming hoarse.] And um... I'm starting to get cognitively impaired and my voice is starting to go a little bit. And I’m starting to have trouble breathing, Which is why I set up the oxygen um, before, uh... before we started. [Voice raspy.] But I was not expecting it to go this fast. So [laughs, coughs] I’m a little surprised and unprepared for how fast it’s hitting and I’m going to take a break now and finish recording later. [Woman's voice] Cut?
