For a bushy head of hair try, Mel's cold water treatment!
Hello, everyone.

Yesterday, I went to have my hair trimmed.

When I walked into the salon, all four hairdressers were stunned when they looked at my hair. I’ve been going to the salon for just under two years, and my hairdresser is a former student. Since I get my hair trimmed about once every 4-6 weeks (because it is short), all of the girls there know me and know that I have chronic Lyme—that is all they know.

I have been using a CBD shampoo for about 2 months. I’m almost through the first bottle. It is not yet available online, but it will be soon. I have noticed an appreciable difference in the texture of my hair in a very short period of time. My hairdresser could not believe how thick my hair looked and how much healthier it felt. The other girls agreed that there was a noticeable difference. It was a huge boost for me.

My hair is, by no means, out of the woods. By evening, my hair starts to do its little dances in places. However, I am optimistic that it is slowly returning to a healthy state. If it is, I credit the following:

(1) the CBD shampoo...I can’t emphasize enough the power of CBD and its ability to CALM THE SCALP!!! I think it puts the little buggers to sleep, too, although I have no proof of that. I just know that I feel a lot fewer “crawlies” since I started using this shampoo.

(2) Mel’s “cold water treatment”...I do it once or twice a day. I NEVER wash my hair with hot water anymore...only lukewarm...and I rinse with cold water...as cold as I can stand. For those of you that are completely resistant to the idea, you can dip your head back and avoid dousing your entire body with cold water. You do get used to it...and I actually now look forward to it. Even hairdressers will tell you that rinsing with cold water is one of the best things you can do for the health of your hair. It closes the cuticle and seals in moisture.

(3) I have been on the protocol for about 15 months. I doubt anyone is 100% perfect with their supplements and WPS, but I have been really well behaved.

(4) I don’t really know how much of an impact dietary changes have had, but I imagine that the absence of processed food certainly hasn’t hurt.

(5) I’ve reigned in my anxiety and stress. I have noticed that stress creates an almost instantaneous reaction to the texture of my hair. When I jack up my cortisol level, my hair feels worse. I don’t even know if that is scientifically possible, but I do know that my hairdresser told me that if I quit stressing about my hair and illness, it will help. She was right. So was Mel.

I THINK (and so does Mel) that I am exiting the Morgellons phase of the illness. I only have a few lesions, and they are quite small. All I have to do is whack them with eucalyptus essential oil, and they are pretty quick to recede. They HATE eucalyptus, at least the ones in my body do.

I think my bartonella has reared its ugly head. This morning, I woke up for the first time ever with mild “scratches” on the lower half of my face. I was a tad bit mortified, but the eucalyptus made them recede in about a half hour—before I even left for work. Mel has told me that the other infections tend to act up after the Morgellons loses its hold. I actually think bartonella is my second most active infection, although I could be completely wrong.

I am sleeping much better. I now take a natural supplement for my headaches, and it stops the pain within a half hour, which has been a huge accomplishment for me. I’ve been off Excedrine Migraine medication for almost a year. I stopped cold turkey, and it was hard. I have tried different things in the interim, and the supplement I use works. I have to give Anna credit for that. She sent me an entire bag of it. What a lifesaver!

My fatigue has diminished. Part of the reason why is that I go to bed an hour earlier than I did during the last school year. I’m usually knocked out by 9 pm and get up at 5:30 am. It’s a good night’s sleep. I started taking Zycran about six months ago, and it has finally started to work on my urinary frequency. I’ve noticed a huge difference in the past month. My sleep cycle used to get broken too many times during the night. Now, I sleep pretty soundly and don’t have to get up as much.

Please think of me tomorrow (Friday). I have another endoscopy. This new GI doctor seems committed to finally figuring out what exactly isn’t working properly. If I can get that figured out and addressed, I’m sure it will be another boost on my wellness journey.

Mel has been invaluable. I will owe him the rest of my life. I also owe a huge debt of gratitude to certain individuals on the forum, too: Donna, Karen, Chrissie, Maria, Tara, Donald, Cheryl, Leslie, Linda (in no particular order).

Most importantly, though, GOD has been with me every single step of the way. He has kept me going, and he has held my hand.

Never give up, folks. Seriously.
