I Don't Know if I Can Do This

💪

Can you see that? It's an arm flexing.

Basically, stray strong. I believe in you, genuinely!

I'm sorry I have no suggestions for treatment - I am not very good at this.

I looked at their website, and it doesn't look as though 23 and Me does MTHFR analysis. What other labs can do this?

I don't have words of wisdom, but I wanted to say I'm so sorry you are suffering.

I know how hard it is to miss things for the kids (whatever the ages). I wasn't functioning yesterday, and I was in bed for nearly all afternoon (which is unusual for me). I WANT to do things, but my body wasn't working. I'm better today so far.
Also, Kid#1 had some very dark years - many dark days that were beyond horrible. But he's very functioning now (still has issues but is so much better). He was very difficult to treat. So, I'm sharing this because there is HOPE - even during those dark days when you think there isn't any hope!

I know it's not exactly the same as yours (yours sounded horrible!). But just know that you are not alone.

There is always the hope, for me at least, that tomorrow will be a better day!
{{{HUGS}}} your way!

Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I'm not much better. My symptoms seem to be getting more neuro, which is really scary. I'm afraid to take anything because I don't know if it's a herx or a true allergic reaction. How did your son (#1) end up being treated? I seriously can't tolerate anything. I know my LLMD is very good, but it's like I can't even explain how horrible this feeling is. It's so scary. I'm depressive and anxious almost to the point of being manic. It's never been that bad before. I get a flushed feeling like a wave over my body and feel like I'm going to pass out. This is what started happening right after taking abx (within 15 minutes). Not at first, but it seems like I build up to a certain level and then I hit a tipping point. I'm so tired that it hurts. For the last 2-3 days, I've had absolutely no appetite. I've forced myself to have a few green smoothies, but that's it. I've already lost a ton of weight since this all started; I don't need to lose any more. I tried to eat some brussel sprouts yesterday. Tasted one and felt like I was going to throw up.

I haven't taken any abx since Friday. Going to call my LLMD tomorrow and see if he can squeeze me in.

UPDATE - Still felt like hell all weekend into this morning. My LLMD was able to squeeze me in this am. He says we need to slow everything WAY down. He told me to not start up any abx again right now. I asked about MTHFR testing and he said he does't think that will change anything, as we are kind of already doing the same things he would do if I had a genetic issue. He's had all sorts of epigenetics training, so I trust him on that.

So he had me do some IV vitamin infusions there in the office along with oxygen, a magnesium shot, and IV glutathione. He said if that helps, then to come back for another round on Wednesday. That should help start detoxing all the crud out. I have an actual appointment with him on Thursday. If I'm well on Thursday, he may have me start up with the Colloidal Silver again. It's a spray. Max dose is 3 sprays, twice a day. He would only have me start on one. Oh, and he also added a daily mineral supplement to the mix.

I will say the IVs helped. I;m really tired, but do feel a little better.
