Herxing in Scottsdale...Is Envita working?

Oh man, last week was the pits. I thought that I was dying. Was not easy to get my butt to the clinic and was much, much harder to get myself back to the hotel after treatment each day. I was crying my eyes out, really not my style....and was heaving and trying so hard not to puke...not lady like...lol. But the nurse gave me a shot in the butt for my acute nausea and so that stopped that.
One week I got so dizzy from being dehydrated, I was bumping into walls. But honestly I have not been able to walk a straight like since I got lyme...so this was nothing new.
But they gave me iv fluids and got me better. It is wonderful to have nurses watching over me. It is honestly a luxury. When I went on the abx treatment from the Dr. in Germany I did it all on my own. And that was not safe. I got much worse. And could not even get my Dr. on the phone, plus German was his first language.
And when I went to the LLMD women Dr. in FLL she would put me on huge doses of anx, like 1,200 of doxy and I started bleeding through my rectum like a facet. When I called her in fear, she had no time to even see me or talk to me on the phone.
Her nurse blandly said..well if you have blood in your stool....call 911.
Uh I only had blood pouring out of me like every 30 minutes. My other Intern wanted to kill me for seeing her. She was trying to talk me into a iv treatment that would run me 3-5,000 a week for a year and a half. There is no way in the world that I am going to continue treatment with a Dr. who told me that it was a good thing that I was rich.
And for my whole family to get it would have been 15,000 a week. A big con if you ask me!
so here I am now...round 15, with yet a new therapy and a new Dr. and with envita I am getting watched and get to meet alot of other people with the same illness. Misery does love company.
I love it more that they "understand" what is wrong with me. And that I do not have to "prove" that I am sick. And I do not have to" educate "everyone.
My therapy is 8-10 weeks here through my port. yes I will here for Thanks giving and will take come time off for x-mas.
Looking into getting an apartment here now. Because with two sick kids and homeschooling...well...I have my hands full.

So do you feel as though it is working?

no no house calls....lol..ha....they don't love me that much...hehehe
yes it is working. I am getting back to my old self....I want to get out and raise some hell...lol
I am a better mom....brought my 5 year old back out with me. and it is just the two of us. so.....I am able to handle her care and myself. and yes...she is well groomed...lol
I must admit...we are told not to have coffee...but honestly. I walked in with a huge cup. and they just look at me. they know my deal. I had a women once make a comment about it...a cancer women....I let it slide and said nothing.
I had just had a port put in the day before and I was in alot of pain...on pain killers....and they were sticking my big new swollen port. My whole right side was big and swolllen. and she is talking to me about coffee. But then as I was leaving someone else asked me how I was getting home....and I lifted my coffee to them....lol
I knew in 4 days that things were changing for me fast. that with a lot of praying...lol..
I had really no interest in trying anything else. and i only did this for my kids. for I did not care about me anymore.

Hey everyone. I guess this blog is kind of out dated (like 6 years old) but I thought that I should share my story because I found that this talks about Envita, the group in Scottsdale that I used. I basically had lived with Lyme disease for several years before I found a doctor that could properly diagnose my symptoms. Envita is the only group that I came across that works with the autoimmune system and not just lyme disease. The thing everyone has to realize is that the immune system has to be helped in order to fight Lyme – and there are many other factors. After a long hard fight I am proud to say that I am symptom free and I’m back to my active self. God bless.
