Yeah, I know, I will be okay....Just have to get through it...

I've come to far to focus on the negative...Even my doc says to stayed focused on all the positives...We are getting to the bottom of all the other stuff...One day I will actually be normal when the doc says, "Well, I've looked at all your lab work and there normal." LOL!

As soon as I complete the sleep study I will post those results...Don't know when it is yet...The clinic has not called yet...It should be soon though...

I am also using my posts to document my journey....I want to be able to remember what was going on from the start of this therapy....Also in hopes that someone may receive some help with it.....Even though my fatigue came back, I still have clear thinking and the brain fog is still gone...

If I ever get permission to name the type of therapy I am doing, one can google it to see exactly what I am doing....I am in no way going to make a profit from it...They would have to go to a doctor of their choice, (chriopractor)........Some do this therapy some don't....

You can talk to the Administrator about that one okay
You will do fine and you will come thru it .....
I know I was worried but I got thru it and was glad I did it

I know that there are ppl that are being helped so please do continue to post about it all

Looking forward to your next post
Am off to Toronto for caits orientation at Legislation tomorrow so I will be gone all day but I will check in and see if you have posted anythign okay

This week is my skip week for therapy...BUT my sleep study is set for this Friday night....When I get home on Saturday I will post about my experience....


Since I am keeping a food journal, my nutrionist with this therapy called to let me know that I am not supposed to be eating those whole wheat carb friendly tortillas...the gluten was a problem...



I broke down and bought the ezekial bread, gluten free. I also found some gluten free waffles...Well, don't know what's going but I have had a hard time with this bread. It tastes great, but the effects is not so great...I talked with the nutritionist today to ask what in the world is going on...She will have to get back with me...



I don't have to be completely gluten free.....I have to maintain the amount that I take in....Gluten free is hard to begin with...



A day and half after being gluten free my stomach bloated to the size of a 6 month pg, I had terrible stomach pains, and had many, many, trips to the loo and terrible heart burn.....This lasted till yesterday....



So, something is happening just don't know what yet...Till Saturday....I wonder if I get any type of result that day??? I hope so, I don't like waiting, lol....
Posted 4/2/2007 10:26 PM (GMT 0)
I think you will get something told to you I know I did
Hope you do hun
I am so sorry you are going thru this with the bread ......
Are you constantly havong D and if so make sure to keep yourself well hydrated
Waiting to hear how your sleep test goes
Be well

Well, just got in from the sleep study test....That was interesting to say the least....I still feel like I have 10 million wires on my head....


I didn't get any information yet, the tech said the person who reads it generally takes about a week to get back with the patient. He said if I need a second test, he would let me know....I kindly said, "No, I won't do this again." I got maybe 2 hours of sleep, toss and turned all night, pulled leads off, he had to keep coming in to put them back on...LOL!



Oh well, at least it's done...When I get the results I will surely post them...



I go Tuesday for my 7th week on the PT....This time they do blood work....



I really have to find that candida test....



Take care and Happy Easter...

shortstop,

I just came across your thread. Did the clinic say why they wanted a second study done? Do they suspect sleep apnea? If they do, I would strongly recommend following up on it.

Is there a reason you can't tell us what kind of therapy you are on? I hope this is something that will work and not just take your money. Sounds pretty expensive. I am taking supplements for my messed up cortisol levels.

Is the diet you are on written out for you or do you have to figure out the meals yourself?

It would be nice if you could let us know more about it so it could maybe benefit all of us!

Blessings,

Sweet
Posted 4/10/2007 1:03 AM (GMT 0)
I would love to share the name of the therapy but I am not sure I can, will it break the rules here for naming it? If not, I would be more than happy to say the name of it...


My red blood count is low along with two other, monocrite, and hemocrit, (spelling is wrong) and the doctor wants to see how much oxygen I am getting really at anytime. The best way to do that was to do a sleep study. I don't really want to go through that again, that test bite big time...I was so uncomfortable, plus, if my husband had not stayed, it would have only been me and the technician (a man) in this 2 story building alone. To me, there should have been another lady there as well...



No, I have a list of foods that I have to choose from and not go out of that...It is hard and I am sick of the foods already...Not many choices that I will eat...



I will PM you the name of the therapy....
Posted 4/10/2007 1:08 AM (GMT 0)
Just realized I don't know how to send a PM to anyone here....LOL!

Hello HL...Hope things are going great in your neck of the woods...

I had my blood work done today....I have some great news to report...

My blood sugar is now behaving and it's actually in the normal range and regulating perfectly now...My cholestrol is a lot better...My good went up by 20 points...But my bad is still sorta bad....

He put some of my blood on a glass plate and did a live blood look see...He even let me see my blood in the mircoscope...That was cool...My blood cells are very healthy and look great...They are perfect and round..The only thing is that they were sticking together and that shows a lot of inflammation in my body...Yep, I hurt all the time...My free fat mass was not to heavy in my blood and my platlets look pretty good as well...

My water is converting good back and forth in my cells...This is a good thing...

BUT!!!! My body composition is still fighting the change and my candida/yeast has gone out of control...He has changed my diet once again...The following changes are as follows:

1. I was on a 1800 calorie a day diet and now I am on a 1300 calorie diet...

2. He added Floraease, I think that's the name...It will take care of teh candida/yeast over growth...It does this by invading my body with the good stuff and it over powers the bad stuff...

3. He took me off the medical food bars, I can only have the medical food shakes.  He changed the medical shakes as well...The one I am on has an inflammation reducer for the body as well...

4. No fruit and no dairy....:(

I still don't have the results of my sleep study yet...They called me this morning to let me know they were having trouble with their computers and as soon as they get my results they will call me...

That's my update for now...I go back in two weeks...

I told my doc today, "I don't know if I am mad to the point of stopping or mad to the point to tackle this problem down no matter what it takes.." LOL!

Till two weeks, take care...

Posted 4/18/2007 11:30 AM (GMT 0)
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
On the great news and I am sure that the meds will help with the Candida

What was the reason taken off Medicine bars and change in medicine drinks did he elaborate ......

Looking forward to necxt post
How is son doing BTW
Posted 4/18/2007 3:50 PM (GMT 0)
The medical shake has the inflammation reducer and the bars don't.....I knew I had a lot of inflammation because it shows up on the MRI film...My MD prescribed IBU 800 mg to tackel it but it looks like its not working...

Plus, with the loss of 500 calories, the adjustment here also had to be made...The bars I like were 230 calories each...While the shake I am drinking right now is 195 calories...I am still doing 2 medical foods, its just 2 shakes now...

Today my menu is

Shake........195calories.....32 oz H20

Snack......6 almonds....50calories 16 oz H20

Lunch.......1 slice of ezk.bread;6oz lean beef;1/2cup lettuce; 1/2 cup tomatoe; 1/2 cup black beans...390calories...8 oz Cyrstal lt.

16 0z H20

Shake........195calories...16 oz H20

Dinner......1/2 slice of ezk.bread;6oz lean beef;1/2 potato;1pat of butter;1 tablespoon light sour cream;430calories..8 oz Cry.lt.

16 oz H20

Snack.......6 almonds.......50 calories...16 oz H20

Other drinks.......2 8oz cyrstal light lemonade......10calories...

1320 calories....That's as close as I could get it...

My son is doing pretty good...He has lost a couple more pounds....

I know it's been awhile since I have posted an update. Haven't had new news to post as of late until today....


My sleep study results were finally "rescued" from the sleep study clinic. I had the test done on 4/06 and my results were finally faxed over to my doctor yesterday...The sleep clinic had a virus hit their computers and held all the results ransome....Talk about a bad time to stop biting my nails...LOL! I go Tuesday to discuss the results with my doctor...



But, yesterday I met my new PCP doctor yesterday...I really didn't think I would ever find a doctor like my old PCP...My old PCP took her time with you, meet you at your needs, helped with medication, listen to you intently and overall, she was the best doctor I think anyone could ever have. I had to find a new doctor because the medical group she was in no longer took my insurance....bummer!



My new doctor ended up knowing my old doctor and is exactly the same way! She spent over an hour with me listening to my complaints and together we drew up a plan that will work to keep me from having a second surgery. She also diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. She may do some switching around with my meds, but also heard me as I voiced my "fear" over taking new meds. She had a list of meds I had already taken and did well on. I just can't believe I found such a great doctor...Thank you Lord....



I will post another update on Tuesday when I get my sleep study results....
Posted 5/6/2007 1:37 PM (GMT 0)
