You know that's just normal. Have you ever read Louise Hay's book, You Can Heal Your Life?
She says that when you begin affirmations, all the symptoms will get worse before they get better. It's interesting and curious.
Same happened to me when i did them in the beginning but it eventually cleared up. But, only you can be the judge of how serious it is and what to do. I would say that phoning LS support and speaking privately is better than a public DF. The only thing they'll say would be very general and consult your doctor if you feel the need. They have to be very careful in what they say to us. Qigong is not medicine or part of the medical profession. So when we bring up medical concerns, they really can't and shouldn't give advice that could be misinterpreted by us.
The body is interesting and so is disease. Disease knows that medicine, good thoughts, affirmations are trying to destroy it and it fights like hell for it's existence. When i had very serious Lyme disease, it got much worse when i began taking medicine. I became totally crippled. I didn't know at the time i took my meds that for serious cases, the reaction could last 3-7 days.
Good Luck to us all
