I have been advised to start eating liver and grass fed butter to raise my cholesterol and iron but I think my stomach needs some more testing and TLC before I start loading it with things I know don't sit well with me

IV #42 + Lab Results

So I got my labs back. My vitamin D, iron, and cholesterol are all dangerously tanked! I need to eat eggs, liver, grass fed butter, double my vitamin d supps and my iron supps. A good bit of news is my Hashimoto antibody levels are at 2 now!!! The disease has literally reversed. I saw Borrelia on the Asyra, though. So I still need to fight Lyme. I'm doing a foot detox now and just had a Vitamin C and B IV. 

So, today is my last day at The West Clinic for financial reasons. My mom has spent so much time, energy, and money taking me up here every single week and my husband has worked so many extra hours to pay for it. I am going to try and sustain myself with Lypo C and possible Vitamin B12 shots which I got a prescription for today. I need to get copies of my labs, too. 

For my POTS condition I'll be taking Vasculin and increasing electrolyte intake

Oh another positive note is I've gotten my blood sugar up. I guess it's always like 51 fasting and sits at 80 all day but I noticed after eating tons of fruit, agave, and honey I felt pretty good. I think I need those kinds of sugars. Really sugar is a no no but hopefully that's refined sugar. I'm only eating natural forms of it I think. I had a good couple days because of it I think. I THINK.

I will be searching for someone local to help me on the rest of this journey since it's unrealistic to always go to the clinic and over $10,000 later, I'm out of money. They definitely helped me and I love the staff and it's been torturous at times, but very pleasant at times. I've made treasured new friends and learned so much. The winds of change are blowing, though. I just need to find which way to go. I have a few ideas, though.

40 + 41 UV Light

For my 40th treatment I tried the new UV light therapy they have at the clinic. The needle hurt so bad, and I didn't feel any positive effects, but there were MANY people who felt great. I wish I responded normally to treatments but I just don't, and that is a fact. I've never been able to maintain a 30 or 40% improvement. I've danced between 5-40% for 2 years now, with and without treatments. Something is missing with me. Something on a cellular level I think. I don't respond normally to chiropractic adjustments, acupuncture, supplements, nothing. I always have such a positive attitude when I try new things, but it's to no avail. For my 41st treatment, I did a huge custom bag. I woke up last night feeling like my heart was trying to escape out of my chest. It was terrifying. I have headaches now, too. I did the new foot detox they have at the clinic which usually helps me, but it didn't. The doc loaded me up on supplements again which I appreciate and will take them perfectly for a month. I have Cataplex B, Cataplex E, Cardio Plus (which I think is supposed to be Vasculin), and SuperGest which I haven't tried yet. I'm taking liquid iron and Lypo vitamin C. I'm waiting for lab results on my thyroid, iron, vitamin d, and lipid panel. 

 

Bedridden & Avenues

I don't know why but I feel like if I get out of bed, my heart and lungs won't be able to sustain me. I'm not usually bedridden so I don't know what's going on. I do know that I am so exhausted from these death-like episodes that I don't even want to get out of bed. I feel like if I stay in bed, the episodes can't get me? I feel very numb today. Reading Claudia Orgill's stuff has gotten me through the day, though. I am also depressed about money. I just spent $500 on a portable sauna and ionic detox spa. These things have helped me in the past so I figure I better just own them. I'm just afraid they'll break or suddenly not help me. Tomorrow I am going to make some calls and pursue some new avenues in my fight against Lyme. I will still be continuing my IV's at the West Clinic as long as my credit cards permit, I just feel like I need some local attention, and more attention at that. I just feel so bad how expensive I am. My sickness affects others around me, not just me. More treatments tomorrow. I've flat out lost count. I have never recovered this week. I had several good days in June, but in July I could count the number of good days on one hand. I'm so hammered, especially this week with no good days. I at least thought I would manage one. I had a few good hours I guess but most hours are turmoil. I continue to put on a fake happy face, though. Well, not all of it is fake, I just don't want to drag people down.
