I saw llmd last week. And will see her again wed.

Talking a break and TRYING strictly detoxing.

I use bathroom, collapse in chair in front of fire place. I'm so weak. My head is horribly buzzing. My back is on fire. I'm surviving on protein shakes.

Normal?

I felt better when I was taking herbs.

I'm so sorry, Purrrsiankitty!!

I think that taking a break and only detoxing will be good at this point. I would encourage you to use binders at first anyway. They lower the toxin load the fastest, particularly when you take them several times a day.

One thing I'm a believer in, is that if you can't eat (fuel the body), then the body can't fight. I would encourage you to work on whatever it is that's keeping you from eating and needing to survive on protein shakes before any treatment starts again.

The other thing to consider - abx aren't for everyone. I sure couldn't use them simply because they created more toxins faster than my body could deal with them.When I switched to herbs, detoxing became my highest priority - because for me, it had to be. From what I've seen, I'm far from the only one like this.

How long of a break are you going to be taking? I sure hope that you and your LLMD can come to an agreement on what would be the best way forward from here. And please do let us know how you are doing!!

Feel better Purrrsiankitty

Yes, feel better!!!!

Purr, check your protein shake - many of them are so high in sugar. That may be hindering you. It did me.

My "go to" when I felt that badly was bone broth. Lots of nutrients, good for healing the gut, and a good way to get liquids into you when you don't feel like drinking.

Hope this is helpful.

No sugar, stevia

Thanks for BB reminder

Gosh, take it easy and hopefully Wed the LLMD will have some answers.

Try the easy detox methods - dry brush, ACV, anything easy you can do will be helpful.

Hugs of comfort..... At times like this I would just wrap up in my blankie and turn on a chick flick and zone out on the tube.... I couldn't read or do much else.

I feel for you.... Just know that it will get better and you probably need to rest.

Purrr, I really hope you start to feel better soon!
I thought the screaming buzzing in my ears and the firey spine was part of the deal?

Traveler I'll have to find binder links and read up again.

Hugs! Rest up sweet lady!

I'm so sorry Purrrsiankitty. I hope you turn a better corner soon.
Doesn't look like abx is the way to go for you at this time, anyway.

Hope you feel better PK!

I hope you feel better soon and that your LLMD can get you on the right path. Detox, detox, detox.

Too much protien can be hard on kidneys ...are you nauseous or not digesting? Gotta eat to live ...consider bvt and or rife in addition

Thanks for the encouragement

Purrrsiankitty, when you say that your back is on fire, does it feel like all of your back muscles are burning in pain?
Posted 2/13/2017 11:50 PM (GMT 0)
Yes exactly 😑
Posted 2/14/2017 1:31 AM (GMT 0)
Hang in there-the body heals. The two things that helped me the most was a seeing a biological dds and treating parasites. In a couple months I was maybe 60% better. There is always an answer

Treating parasites now and biological dentist next month😊

I have that. It usually hits me standing at the sink washing dishes or while I'm fixing a meal. I tried a rubber comfort mat where I stand and that didn't help. I pull a bar height stool over and sit on that when I'm working in the kitchen and that burning back pain starts. I mean, it's bad enough my oxycodone doesn't touch it. Sitting on the stool relieves it enough I can finish what I'm doing without going into a complete crash, because within maybe 5 minutes of that getting unbearable, the tremors, tears and total ns breakdown occurs.

I attributed it to muscle strain compensating for my osteoporosis, which is all a result of these darn tick diseases. Not sure which.


What we need is for astroman to come on this thread and teach us how to do a myofascial (sp)tension release.

Yesses Astroman fly in...

I wish I had something I could recommend to help you feel better. It must be difficukt to relax the way you are feeling. Use whatever you can safely relax with so your body can get proper sleep and repair. I hope you feel better soon.

Parasites and dental-should help. Let us know
Posted 2/14/2017 4:06 AM (GMT 0)
Purr: never give up. There is an answer, a way, something that will work specifically for you. Keep trying. May I ask what is a Biological dds? Where do you find one?
Posted 2/14/2017 10:42 AM (GMT 0)
I can sympathize with pain in the lower back muscles. Sometimes it feels like the tendons want to detach from the top of my hips. Warm weather seems to be helping. Also, I've been using 3000mg per day turmeric/curcumin. Half of that is the expensive 95% curcuminoid type.

For starters for the myofacial release, you can use a tennis ball and just roll it around over the muscles that are burning - it hurts worse right at first, but if you don't put too much pressure, after you are done, you should notice that the muscles are just a bit "looser" - at least for a while. Keep at it - several times a day if needed (but don't make your muscles too sore!) and it will ease up.

This is what I've been doing. Astro says to advance to a lacrosse ball, but I can't find one in my little area - so I'm going to have to give in and buy one online.

I also use heat before, to help relax the muscles - then ice afterwards to help combat the inflammation.

This is what's helped keep me sane, as I deal with a ton of muscle/facia issues.
