Hi Marie, many don't get how severe I am. I am chronic altered so it was like being in a permanent herx state long before I started treating. I am not at a normal base.
Brain inflammation, frontal lobe I feel the infection, eye muscles, balls of eyes, bone around eyes, whooshing in head, ammonia gas feel in head. Lot's of neuro and hits of acute neuro pain and on and on. And this is DOWN from where I was.
I got rid of intense sec by sec head eye pressure. Pressure in top of head, back and frontal lobe. Eyes felt bulging out of my head and heavy. Couldn't look at people or talk. Felt so so excrutiating.
So when I started to treat naturally I went from severe chronic to more severe herxing. That is how I knocked a lot out but not enough. I have literally been non functional since long before treatment before herxing as
I'm chronic sec by sec symptomatic ON TOP of herxing. I herx daily but it only goes from severe to more severe. So my BASE is herx-like right now if that makes sense and dieoff just adds to it.
My base is slowly coming down but I'm no where near in physical comfort daily yet. Unable to do household stuff like a normal person. It's my head. No comfort doing anything. Impossible situation right now till I get relief. It literally runs my days. My mother helps.
Due to bringing bug load down the first year sauna at night my mother
drives me to after dosing so that is only just giving me a bit of relief. Helps with my dieoff. In other words I don't have a choice. If I don't dose I stay sec by sec chronic yet to have a NORMAL base like many that only get altered when herxing. I am ALWAYS
altered. So I treat, and the goal is to hopefully get to normal base like many others so I can have relief between herxes. Not there yet. I don't fit the mold of many I read about
hit the way I
was hard hit in brain/head/eyeballs etc being my primary body secondary and not chronic body and not acute save for a few leg siezes and toe curls which are few far between now and how symptomatic I am. My head is non stop.
I'm still convalescencing, spend a lot of time rocking on couch coping. But I'm slowly moving forward. I can't follow tv well, and this is a stretch typing but it's better now than before to "think thru the head noise and physicality."
The physicality with it is excrutiating, it wears me out.
I write this so others that may be hit this way, see some of us are. So I'm in no way physically comfortable yet and need to be aggressive to bring the infection down. So my doc was supportive of that.
So when I read about
others still kind of in life, I'm no where near that yet. I can't drive due to this, shop, nothing. I herx no problem. I want these germs out of my head and the symptoms
to stop. I've been chronic acute a long time but I'm not receiving ENOUGH symptom reduction yet to be comfortable. At least things are
going down but I believe the fl1953 is slowing me down.
Okay, you taking 1 abx at a time. I understand. Unfortunately in my shape it's not realistic. If I had the dough I'd go to a facility to be more aggressive to get to functional and treat the rest at home like Yolanda Foster but no $$.
I hope you are feeling good about
your doc and your protocol Marie. xoxoxo
Gosh GP's never believe anything you say. I swear they think the whole world is crazy and they're the only sane adults on the planet. Finally he gave you diflucan. But needed proof.
I'm glad you get it occasionally too on abx. Yeah, that's a good sign LOL. Hard to get rid of isn't it?
((((goodluckyou'rethebestmariexoxothanksforcomingby))))
