Good News to Share

Over the last few months, my physical body has been taking a beating.

Last month found I have a torn meniscus in left knee confirmed via MRI ,

and have a dr appt scheduled for Mond to MRI the right knee,

as the issues with that knee has increased since last month

when the knees started acting up.

Surgery for left knee has delayed until further notice due

to a cardio appt I had scheduled for heart issues,

and an issue I've had with previous anesthesia.

Here's the good news:

* Heart tests show heart is ok. ;)   Well, at least as far as the 'tests' show. Trusting whatever is going on is ok. 

* I found out it's my MTHFR issue, A1298C, that I must not have any type of 'laughing gas'

   during the anesthesia, as that blocks oxygen to the blood. I still need to know if my taking

   supplements for this offsets the issue. Further research, but a great start. Now I'll know what to tell

   the Dr's if I need any future surgeries. Love that I figured this one out. So cool!!

* My left knee is doing GREAT, and my right knee is, too! I've been really babying both,

   massaging solomon's seal/teasel oil on both knees three times a day, as per my Herbalist.

   I'm also doing gentle leg exercises, and using an eo oil mixture twice a day to massage the

   leg from ankle to thigh, to get the blood flowing correctly. This is helping quite a bit.

  

Now I must decide if I want to keep the Mon appt for right knee, or let it go. I'll probably still go to it, just to get a base line. And, I truly believe due to the delay in getting surgery right away, I may have been able to actually get these tears healed naturally, which is possible, if it isn't completely torn through. Mine wasn't, this time. I had the right knee mended via surgery in 2011 for a tear that was completely through, and that took a year to heal from the surgery. I did not want to deal with all of that, on top of everything else. Now I might not have to!!!!

I'm not out of the woods yet, but I'm well on my way and see the light!!

We can find natural ways to help our bodies heal.

Simply Amazing.

 

P,
I discovered the following website in my research, figuring I'd plug in Lyme/MTHFR/anesthesia.

I came across the info, mainly dealing with the MTHFR issues and autism and surgery issues.

It fits, especially with my experiences.

After opening, 'find' A1298C and it will take you to the info I'm talking about. Really interesting read, the entire paper.

Hope that answers any questions.

Oh, this is why I just LOVE this particular site.
Info abounds, and leads are made, and dots connected,
which truly lessens much pain and suffering,
and loss of time, effort and funds all due to

the incredible people here.

Soaring Free - that's great news. Yes, get the MRI anyway.

I guess the lesson to be learned...is don't jump into anything - especially surgery when we have lyme disease...as some things can/will abate/heal as we treat the disease and take care of our bodies.

Of course..this excludes life-saving emergencies!

I believe that lyme is responsible for many of our other body/brain issues...and sometimes....to heal...we need to treat lyme and the issues will resolve. The question remains how do we know which ones are due to lyme....??
