When did you start your year of abx Trav?
If this happened to me in your generation I would still be without answer. It was only finding everyone here that led me to pursue the fact that maybe I'm just not crazy. How old were you when your gall bladder was removed too?
Sorry for all the questions - theres just a lot to learn from your story as it is not as short as mine.
I noticed my flare-ups prior to my appendix removal - It landed me in the hospital 3 times before they realized what was doing it over a 2 year period. The one where they finally believed something was wrong was the one where I was hugging the public toilet in the hospital because it was cool and relaxing, no matter how dirty it was. Lot of pain on the last one, it had to go there was no question at that point!
It's no problem about
the questions! That's why we are here - to help answer questions. And if my timeline helps you figure something out - bonus!!
It was in 2007 - the same year I was diagnosed (makes it easier to remember, don't you know!). I was 44 yrs old. Even being compared to being pregnant and almost dying and losing the baby - the year I did pharma abx was the hardest year of my life.
It was 2009 (I believe) and I was 47 yrs old when I had my gall bladder removed - either that or it was the year before - but my hubby was home, which meant he had been disabled and recovered enough to help me get to the doctor, get surgery and so on - so I believe it was 2009.
I agree about
being on this forum! It's what helped me not only understand what infections I had, but how long I had been infected (because of reading and asking questions), and I connected with one gal that had treated naturally as well that understood all these things we understand now (detoxing, supporting the body functions), and their importance in our healing - I listened closely! Otherwise, these infections were on their way to quite literally killing me. My kids didn't want to go off to college because they were sure I'd die while they were gone. Twice in my life my kids thought they were going to loose me. A sobering thought.
Yes, congratulations on your improvements, Summersun!!
