2/17/2016 9:48:10 AM | Happy February! I got so busy, that I didn’t post in January! Well, that is probably just fine since there is less to report as things are just getting better and better every week. I did have a horrible cold the first week of February and was off work for a week. It turned into a sinus infection and I finally went into the walk-in clinic and got a prescription for an antibiotic called Amox-Clav which was 2x/day for 10 days. It worked and I feel great now. But the symptoms were initially throwing up, then chills and couldn’t get warm and then a fever, though for me with my baseline subnormal temp, the fever never actually hit 100 degrees. But still, for me, my body was fighting hard to get rid of this cold bug. In fact, I was lightheaded and mostly stayed in bed and slept. At night I would wake up soaking wet which I’m thinking in this case was my body trying to rid itself of the cold bug and not a thyroid issue as it hasn’t happened since. Mel and John came to the rescue for my anxiety with their kind support and reassuring words of wisdom, that I had a cold bug and not some relapse of MD. As Mel says, the immune system is back on line and so you really feel the difference between good health and a cold bug/flu. Before, it was just all feeling poorly and couldn’t tell the difference between anything as no clear “war” was ever waged by the body’s immune system. I just got back from a lovely 3 day weekend road trip with the family up to the Central Coast of California. It is so beautiful and the temps at Pismo Beach were in the 80’s. I felt so healthy and ate a few salads out at restaurants and actually ate their salad dressings that were closest to Italian which I haven’t done since contracting (always brought my own EVOO and ACV). I’ve taken bites of my family members’ meals and no problems. I have not cheated the whole 18 months on MMS, and stuck strictly to the approved foods. Never any bites of anything off of the diet. But, I am trying new things now as I’ve got to start seeing what foods I can now tolerate. I’ve had 3 large sweet strawberries which were so good. And a cup of coffee. A sip of a pineapple fruit smoothie. Even the nacho flavored Beanitos. These are small but very nice taste treats. I continue to wear clothing more than once now. And, have no bins in my room. I wash sheets once a week. Still washing towels after every use. I am sitting on more furniture around the home and I don’t believe I’m contagious. My son sits on my bed again and we do homework together when it is not needed to be at a desk. I have taken several baths and they are wonderful and no weird events happen. In the bath, I’ve been using dead sea salts with eucalyptus that I get from a great company that uses water from the Dead Sea in their products as it has lots of good minerals in it or Lavender Epsom Salts. For exercise I am walking around the neighborhood several times a week which is up and down hill. I am going for my yearly physical in a week to see what my vitamin D, thyroid and other blood values are. I highly do suspect a thyroid issue, though it never is diagnosed and my values always look “normal” somehow, but I have a strong family history of this on mom’s side and a sub baseline body temp. I find it very interesting that skin crawling is a symptom of many other issues: thyroid issues, iron deficiency, MS Lyme, Diabetes, peripheral neuropathy and endocrine issues for example. Apparently it happens in menopaus for many women and is a hormonal change effect. It is known as formification. So, it really seems that this Morgellons condition is a hypertoxic condition that takes down the immune system and gets into the central and peripheral nervous system. I believe that the longer I rebuild my health with the Logos supplements, the healthier the cells of the nervous system will get. I also have an iron issue due to genetic condition I inherited, so this this didn’t help my immune system any. I’ve read that MS has symptoms of skin crawling, joint pain, and a restless feeling in legs/arms, tingling sensations and coldness in extremities all of which I have and sometimes still have. So I’m going to run past the Internal Medicine doc who is my primary care doc. I’ll see how they test for that, but I am figuring that even if I get a diagnosis of MS, MD imitates many of these autoimmune conditions and that by staying the course of our protocol and exercising more, I’m going to be rid of these symptoms completely. My aunt who is in her 60's and who works at a college of naturopathic medicine in Arizona that trains docs in wholistic health practices, just reversed her thyroid issue by going on a diet very similar to ours for almost a year. Now her thyroid is normal and no meds needed. She eats regularly again, but still she is a very healthy eater also having celiac disease which she keeps very well controlled. Well, I hope to have even more good news next month or two. I look forward to the day I can write that I’m 100%. With much praise and glory to God! Mary |
