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.
