Two Girls With Cancer - Season 1 Episode 12 - What The Heck Is Herx?

Herxheimer...it's so much more than a funny word. It can make you feel sicker than ever! Your doctor doesn't know what it is and says they can't find what's wrong with you. You start to feel crazy! But you know you feel off, even though you can't articulate what off means. Is it the flu? Is it a migraine? Am I dehydrated? Tired? Hungry? Cancer returning? Maybe I'm just a hypochondriac? You may be going through a healing crisis, also known as the herxheimer reaction. The girls explain what this means and how you can get through it.
