Well I headed down to Las Vegas on Wed this week for more treatments. Because my wife is still in rehab for her new knee a friend went down with me. I am thankful that he did, I was tired when I started out. I did a lot of running around on Tuesday so I got to rest on the way down and he drove. I filled up with gas in town for $3.57 and when we got to Las Vegas the average was close to $4.00 per gal. I drove in town and we went and had my two relation treatments. Afterward we went to Fry's to check out what they had in computer components and purchase some. Then we went to a buffet for dinner and by the time we were through we were both tired. We stayed at the Air Force Inn on Nellis Air Force Base.
Thursday we stopped for breakfast then headed to the clinic for two more treatments. I was exhausted by then and my friend drove home. I am finding if I can get out one day I need to rest the next day. But it's not always possible so having a friend along made the trip doable. I am not taking any Vicodin (lortab ) for pain and am down to less than half of the morphine that I was taking. In the next month I will not be taking any morphine at all. We are also removing any chemical drugs that we can. I will have to take blood pressure pills, thyroid replacement and Testosterone for life. The doctor is very happy with my results and so are we. I never guessed that I would be feeling this much better in such a short period of time. I am still having trouble with muscle control because I have not worked them very hard for the last 15 years. That will come over time. I easily get cramps and have to stop and rub or stop all together what I am doing. I only have used my electric wheelchair once in the last month and that was in Fry's which is like the size of a mall.
I have to tell you if you have to sell your first born ( just a joke) it's worth all the cost of going to the FFC clinics for treatment. First they know what they are talking about with Fibro and Chronic Fatigue and second they can help you feel better. THEY CAN NOT CURE YOU because the cause of Fibro/Chronic Fatigue is still unknown. But they work to get your immune system working and that cures lots of the problems by itself. The chelation (iv's) also are a great key. I am still taking the back and pain one along with the one that works on your brain to clear the fibro fog. Check out http://www.fibroandfatigue.com/ and find a clinic near you.
I am hoping and we all should be working to make this type of treatment main stream until a cure is found. It would be great if insurance companies, Medicare, the VA and others would reimburse for this treatment that will ultimately save them many thousands of dollars in the future. These 15 clinics have treated over 20,000 patients and the majority of the patients that followed the plan are living a much more enjoyable life with little or no pain.
I will continue to keep you informed as I am treated,
Your Fibro Friend
Jerry
