10th & 11th Treatments

I'm having a hard time typing because my fingers don't want to work right.

My mom took me to the clinic this time. I had my tenth treatment on Monday, and then had my re-evaluation on Tuesday. The doctor told me about other options I have since it's been a month, and I don't feel any different. He told me about a doctor in Park City who does Stem Cell therapy and I have actually been wanting to go see him for injections since he has the option of conscious sedation. We talked about me eating eggs and almonds again and that I no longer have hypotension when I stand up, and my blood looks a little better. To be fair, I'm sure I don't feel much better because he hasn't been hitting me with "the big guns" as he calls them (hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and boat loads of vitamin c and magnesium). The first time he did that, I had a horrifically violent herx. So he spent the last month stabilizing me, which I thought was great and smart, but wants to bring out the big guns again. I agreed. He also wants to try a couple different pain therapies on me, too, and added more supplements to help me detox. Then, he sent me in for the big guns.

The big guns wiped me out. My pulse went up, and I felt like I was burning up. I felt completely dehydrated, and my neurological symptoms were magnified. My eyes were burning and really heavy, and my legs were so wobbly. My left eye and the left side of my tongue and face felt weird, and my legs were wobbly. I got SO nauseated, too. However, I remained calm. My mom and the nurse seemed worried and the doctor came in to see me. He said he was not surprised by the reaction I was experiencing, nor was he alarmed. I told him I was not alarmed, either. I remained calm because that is what it feels like when bugs are being murdered. Treatment is just HARD on my body, but I HAVE to stick it out because how else is this disease supposed to be killed and sent into remission??

When I got home, my son was so excited! He ran out the front door and yelled, "Mommy! You came back!". He then gave me the biggest hug I've ever had from him. He'll be three in a few weeks. That was awesome.

I barely ate dinner 'cause I was so nauseated, took all of my supplements, I did a ginger bath, and went to bed. I actually slept very good.

Today I had a hard time in the morning but I usually do in the mornings. My sister-in-law helped me a lot, and I am just trying to take it easy.

Tomorrow I'm doing infrared sauna for the first time, and I think I'll see what else I can do as far as detoxing. I'd like to try dandelion root tea, too.
