SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG BUT I HAVE HAD A MATTER I HAD TO ATTEND TO!

     Well today was another day at the FFC for treatment.  I did not go down last week because of nausea.  I was sick and though it was just something going around.  We found out it was one of the supplements that I was taking.  I stopped taking it and the nausea went away. 

     We went down on Wednesday and came back today.  I had muscle and brain IV's both days.  As I have said  the muscle treatment is to help the muscles develop new cells and to help with the pain.  The brain treatment is to put antioxidants and substance P into the brain.  We with Fibromyalgia are found to be low on substance P which helps the brain cells rebuild and talk to each other.

     The link above is a one page article put out by the FFC about the problems we with Fibromyalgia have to deal with daily.  I like this article and it is clear how disabling this "CRUD" can be for us lucky people.

     I am feeling much better as far as pain is concerned.  I also feel that my thinking is improving and I don't get tired as much as I used to.  Keep watching this blog I think  you will see a marvelous change in my health in the next 11 months.

Till next time,

WELL THE WEATHER IS NOT HELPING!

     I had lots of new things going on with my body this past week and now we have a weather front coming through.  I have been down most of the last three days.  I am not upset by this because I was told up front, that it would get worse before it got better.   Trying to jump start my immune system is a big job and it will take time.  Their concept is to get my immune system going then it and some medicines can fight the diseases that are running around in my system...   One of which is Epstein Barr,  this is a very bad version of mono.  These diseases are able to be in my body because my immune system is so compromised. 

     I am looking forward to feeling so much better but for now I will fight through this CRUD till we can get my body in shape to fight off the simple colds and more.  Just keep praying that I will get back to something like my old self. 

     I can tell of changes because of the lack of need for extra break through pain pills.  Also my mind is clearer now that it has been.  I keep asking if I am going to get a brain like the Tin man.  For the last many years my brain didn't work right and if I got tired it would just shut down.

Best to all of you... and God Bless you...

WOW I CAN FEEL IT ALREADY!!

     They have been treating me with two different IV’s.  The first one I have talked about it’s is “BACK AND PAIN” this stuff really works.  As an example on Monday of this week Deborah took me to my Doctor’s Appointment.  Then she went to the dentist.  When I was done I didn’t see her so I called and ask what happened to her.  She told me she just got set on the chair and would be over one more hour.

     I decided to go to a near by restaurant and have some lunch.  I did not really think how far it was.  Well I walked about four (4) long blocks, all up hill.  I had some pain in my caves and was afraid of what I would feel like the next day.   I woke up with no extra pain, YES , that is the farthest I have walked in 15 years.  THIS STUFF IS WORKING!!!

     I got two IV’s of the brain meds.  This stuff puts back what is missing in our brain and goes through the blood/brain barrier.  What a blessing this place is.  It’s is not even a month and I am doing better.

God Bless you all…

P.S. I will be posting the supplements that I am taking later this week.  The number one thing they want to get fixed is my iron level is four times lower than is should be.  We will be working on that.

AFTER THREE WEEKS HAVING IV’S

     This whole experience with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Center has been a wonderful experience.   I had my fifth and sixth “pain and back” iv and I was feeling great.  Then as most men are I didn’t want to see my wife lift the entire luggage, I lifted some, that put me in a flare.  So on Wednesday night I was not feeling well.   Then when I woke on Thursday morning when I woke I knew what I did was Dumb!  I had to take two breakthrough pain meds to help me be able to get up a few hours later.  I went in and had my sixth iv and then I saw the doctor.
 

     All of my blood test came in and he was able to see what was going on with me.  My thyroid T3 was very low and he prescribed a prescription to help get that back in order.  There are several places that are way too high and some way to low.  With glands you have to nudge it a little and it changes many things.  The doctor also prescribed two medicines and two more supplements for me to use.  The supplements are included in my package, but the medicines are not.  I will try to have the VA get them for me so I don’t have to pay for them.

     I will be putting up a list of the supplements I am taking soon as a page.  So when you see the main page it’s on the bar that is at the top.   You just have to select which page you want to read.

     I am very encouraged at this point.  I am feeling better and using less pain medications to just get by.  I am looking forward to the day when I don’t need 29 different drugs every day.

God Bless you all.

IT REALLY WORKS

     My wife just refilled my medicine boxes and she noticed something... I have not taken any extra pain meds for 7 days now.  Before going to Fibro and Fatigue Centers I used all my morphine and all my extra break through pain meds.  I didn't even realize that I had not been going back for more pain meds.  I just finished my 4th IV treatment with pain and back.  This treatment is described in an earlier post.

     Now I have started the primary vitamins and minerals that the doctor ordered for me.  I have started with Digestizyme-b from a company called NutriElements.  FCC feels that this company has the purest and best product they can recommend.   I started out with one tablet a day, today I took two tablets until I get to three tab a day.  They recommended this for me to start is because of the problems I have with stomach and digestion.  With all the narcotics it numbs my digestive track and it doesn't want to work.  This will help me get that all going.  

I  AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE DAY WHEN I CAN STOP TAKING MORPHINE OR ANY NARCOTICS.  My doctor said it would be with in four months.    YAH!!!!

I have nine different vitamins and minerals that I will be taking.  Watch my post for more information.

Thanks for reading this and may God bless you.
