10:28:52 AM | Hi, everybody!
I thought I should give an update on my progress at this point. I have just passed 90 days on the protocol and have seen a difference in my symptoms. I had 3 weeks where I nearly felt normal, had little to no biting, and minimal crawling. I had been washing my bedding every single day and have changed to every 3-4 days, spraying with Kleen Green in between. I am able to wear my hoodie for that long before sanitizing, as well. The protocol is working!
The last 4 days have been a reminder we still have a way to go, though. More biting, crawling and burning sensations, but mostly on my legs. As you've have said, it cycles and will just continue to get better. My next goal is to cut down to 1 bath a day. Bathing twice (in the mustard bath) was the only way I could continue working. In the morning, to make it through the work day and at night, to be able to sleep.
I go back to work on Monday, so getting the proper rest will be challenging. I get up @ 5 a.m. and don't get to bed until after 10. I have a 14-year-old son and can't just leave him unsupervised to go to bed earlier. My husband is on assignment out of state, since March, and won't be back until close to Thanksgiving. We're taking steps to try to free up finances, so maybe I can stop working full time in the next year. That would be helpful.
If you are new, stick to the protocol and diet and you will get better! Get as much stress out of your life as possible. Surround yourself with things that make you smile. Let anything unnecessary go for now and focus on getting well.
Pressing on,
Susan |
