Send a PM

For me, I started a natural protocol with a lot of stuff, if you want to know exactly what, I'll have to PM you, so just send me a PM if you want to know the exact protocol, and I'll tell you! LOL... I started it about 8.5 weeks ago, and I'd say I started feeling improvement after maybe 4 to 6 weeks. I'm still improving every day. I'm still increasing my ab's (I'm doing an all natural protocol including Samento, and I'm still on an EXTREMELY LOW DOSE!!), so I anticipate seeing improvement for a very long time, and I anticipate being in treatment for a very long time. I'm also pretty sure I have Babs and will need to be treated with Artemisinin, which I'm probably going to need to do under the guidance of a doc. So, I anticipate a long-term treatment, and I know there's still stuff to be done. However, I think that the depression was the first symptom to lift. I didn't notice an immediate change, it was more gradual. I also noticed that I was more mobile and I was much more functional. I think because I've had to increase my meds on a very gradual level, that's probably why I'm noticing such gradual changes. I am having less joint pain, tho still some, but it's definitely improving. I am also having less brain fog and less twitches. I have very little numbness and tingling now, too. So much of my neuropathy is improved. Again, if you want a full run-down of what I'm taking--heck, I may have already told you, IDK, I've told a bunch of people!--just send me a PM, and I'll give you the protocol. Ok, that's what's up with me. Hope it helps. I'm sure you'll get a lot of responses, this is a great thread! *hugs* Jen Just because it's impossible doesn't mean it can't happen.
I'm not a doc, so anything I say is my opinion only. Nothing I say is meant as offense, I offer what I can as help.
I believe in educating myself on all my medical issues and being my own advocate, for no one else with do that on my behalf. I recommend we all do the same!
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Perhaps I truly am insane for expecting these docs to listen to me when I say the same things repeatedly to no avail? LOL. I am tired of seeking out new docs and getting the same result time and again...Forgive me if I seem bitter some days. |
