3rd Week of Artemesinin and an Update

Artemesinin:
Well, I haven't posted in a while.  So let me recap.  I did a 3rd week of Artemesinin.  I should say weekend of Artemesinin.  I took 500mg of Artemesinin 3x a day for 3 days in a row.  I was really, really fatigued which went away after I finished the course of Artemesinin.


Update
So ever since I began the herbs, the second time around after having the flu for 1.5 weeks where I didn't take any herbs, I have had head congestion.  I also have had a little bit of itching as well which makes me think it could be a mild yeast overgrowth issue so I took 1 fluconozole pill today to see if that helps.  I am also feeling unmotivated, not down or depressed, but just in the morning don't really have the motivation to get up and go and get things done.  I seem to have this very, very faint ongoing feeling of nervousness in my stomach as well.  Sometimes it is almost undetetable but it is just a feeling of uneasiness.  Geesh - I dislike it so much.  And an update on all the kids - they are are doing well.    They are getting along swimmingly with friends at school and all is well.

2nd Weekend of Artemesinin

Well, I am taking 400mg of Artemesinin 3x a day for 2 days in a row.  Next weekend I will take 500mg of Artemesinin 3x a day for 2 days in a row and then take a week off.  I didn't have any symptoms the first night after taking the Artemesinin but the 2nd night I woke with vivid dreams and this morning I woke with a vivid dream.  So that is 2 nights in a row of vivid dreams.  The first night I also had some hot flashes along with the dream.  I have also had darker urine in the morning.  The vivid dreams are definately not the norm for me.  I am not a dreamer. Period.  I will see if I have another one tonight or if they are over for the week.  I am taking notes of all my symptoms and the days they occur on along with all the supplements, herbs I am taking that day so I know exactly what is going on and can track patterns.
