There is a thing called the Herxheimer reaction. This happens when the body cleans up invaders, and that releases toxins and purines into the blood stream. Often it happens during Lyme treatments, but any infectious process can cause it.

I have had people over the years call me up with a Herx reaction that starts typically after an antibacterial begins working.

I wonder if this is what you have?

I wonder if consulting an infectious disease specialist might be a good idea for you. You might have some obscure infection that has not been identified yet.
