Guest guest Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Wow , Thanks for writing your experience. Makes me feel like I am not the only one walking in circles. Symptoms are in different degrees,from light hell to heavy hell. Although the last 3 times I got B12,folic acid shot,the next day I felt way better but sorry to say it does not last. I felt like the real me in mind,body,spirit,emotions. Years ago when I got the shots I felt really great and then they stopped making me feel good. So I feel this is a BIG positive that they are helping again. How ru doing?

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 wow, how wonderful the shot would give you such a boost!!! so important to get some relief and a clear sign that there is improvement!!!! oh joyce, i guess i'd call my days about like yours. often it is a dark comedy, staggering through the day, every little thing that happens is overwhleming to my exhasuted self. like yestserday: in total crushed fatigue but agitated and hungry i just started head-in-the-refrigerator eating. too many things were happening at once, (which means one other thing!) i was also trying to get the fire started in the wood stove. after eating nuts and stuff i thought i'd just eat some kimchee out of the jar. and i dropped it. a whole quart. i watched it falling and as i watched it the thought going through my mind is oh i guess i'll have to eat it off the floor. but it didn't just break, it shattered into a million pieces and the liquid was oozing under the fridge, wow powerful smell, totally masked the smoke smell from the fire i'd forgotten, i was so confused and tired but managed to get shoes on and clean up the mess and damp the stove and crawl into bed for the regular day-hours of torture.anyway, i don't want to get too deep into my whole day, i'll just say that i ended up well fed and the house got very warm. nothing like wood heat to keep the house at 80.and to everyone: i have never written very much or for very long on a biggish group like this. felt way too vulnerable, and too exhasuted to make any commitment to staying in. and secretly i would get discouraged that i wasn't making progress in spite of my dedication to treatment, and everyone seemed so much healthier. but i am making myself try to stay with you guys, stay in relationship and ask the questions i need to ask. the warmth in the group makes it ok. it is dhard work, i feel sick and want to retreat, so many posts and i get confused and i can see it takes effort from you, too, joyce. i have to type slowly because of tendon pain and make corrections or you wouldn't be able to read this. but y'all are so worth it. xoxoxsusan in vt Wow , Thanks for writing your experience.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 stacy i'm such a bad person to ask because i haven't had success on any protocol. i've had good salt for years and eat a lot of it, often put it in water becasue i crave it and so i thought i'd be perfect for the salt c. unfortuantley i tried to go to 4-6 grams within a few months of starting it and it increased my tinnitus terribly and it hasn't calmed down much since then, several years ago. but i discovered i just can't take large amounts of c, i react to die-off with just a couple of grams by itself. so don't go by my experience excetp to go very slowly, very slowly, especially if you have high bacteria load and detox poorly. all that said, i think it is an excellent protocol and hope i can go back on it some day. s in vt > as someone wanting to add salt/c along with a CS protocol,i'm > reading your post and wondering how salt/c helped in any healing > for you or not. it sounds like it didn't help.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Dear ,First, let me give you a classy name to apply to the day of exploding kimchee and other catastrophes. A friend once told me that the French word for shit was 'merde', and a shower of the same was an 'emmerdement'. We Lymies are often beset with such emmerdements, but saying, 'I'm having an emmerdement,' with a sultry French accent somehow makes it better, and dilutes that persecuted feeling that can come from too many body parts hurting, gravity being a fiendish conspiracy, and a missing brain refusing to check in on top of everything else. You triumphed over an emmerdement! Congratulations! We're in a weird boot-camp for the would-be highly evolved. The tests are fierce, and it often feels like we're failing them, but 'adversity introduces us to ourselves'.(I picked that up as a piece of cross-stitch in a garage sale, and it's a highly treasured thing in our house.) Our experience makes us understand what's important and what friendship is and that emerdements can be endured.You are SO among friends! Friends who've been there, who've known the dark despair, the doubts that things will ever be OK again and who have learned to abide, with a smile, and not let the critters have the last word.It's always a pleasure to read your posts. So much so, that when we were in Maine, I toyed with the idea of asking if you'd like us to route our home return to pass through VT and maybe say Hi. You were spared ;-) when the temperature dropped and campgrounds were closing and we high-tailed it home, but who knows? Maybe next spring or summer we may pass by in the RV. Had a great visit with Sash and in our Airstream over a year ago when we were out west. We all really enjoyed the extra dimension of smiling at each other as real, flesh and blood people.Just remember, that things can and do get better, even though it feels like slow motion. I've been a total invalid in pain, exhausted and deeply frightened, and now I'm me again, sort of, and hoping to throw away my emerdement umbrella someday .Hang in there. We need you.Love and be well,Léna wow, how wonderful the shot would give you such a boost!!! so important to get some relief and a clear sign that there is improvement!!!! oh joyce, i guess i'd call my days about like yours. often it is a dark comedy, staggering through the day, every little thing that happens is overwhleming to my exhasuted self. like yestserday: in total crushed fatigue but agitated and hungry i just started head-in-the-refrigerator eating. too many things were happening at once, (which means one other thing!) i was also trying to get the fire started in the wood stove. after eating nuts and stuff i thought i'd just eat some kimchee out of the jar. and i dropped it. a whole quart. i watched it falling and as i watched it the thought going through my mind is oh i guess i'll have to eat it off the floor. but it didn't just break, it shattered into a million pieces and the liquid was oozing under the fridge, wow powerful smell, totally masked the smoke smell from the fire i'd forgotten, i was so confused and tired but managed to get shoes on and clean up the mess and damp the stove and crawl into bed for the regular day-hours of torture.anyway, i don't want to get too deep into my whole day, i'll just say that i ended up well fed and the house got very warm. nothing like wood heat to keep the house at 80.and to everyone: i have never written very much or for very long on a biggish group like this. felt way too vulnerable, and too exhasuted to make any commitment to staying in. and secretly i would get discouraged that i wasn't making progress in spite of my dedication to treatment, and everyone seemed so much healthier. but i am making myself try to stay with you guys, stay in relationship and ask the questions i need to ask. the warmth in the group makes it ok. it is dhard work, i feel sick and want to retreat, so many posts and i get confused and i can see it takes effort from you, too, joyce. i have to type slowly because of tendon pain and make corrections or you wouldn't be able to read this. but y'all are so worth it. xoxoxsusan in vt Wow , Thanks for writing your experience.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 We have spent many happy family drives going around Whidbey Island. When I did the www.findyourspot.com that someone put on the forum, Oak Harbor on Whidbey Island was one of my spots! The view from West Whidbey across the water to the Olympic Mountains is incomparable!  Most people just hear about the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain...no, no, no.....I mean the rain in Seattle and don't realize that we have inland sand dunes (Moses Lake), desert, and high plains. You can go from Rain Forrest (on the peninsula) to desert in a few hours.  One of the other things few people realize is that the Skagit Valley around La Conner grows more tulips/daffodils and Iris then anywhere else in the USA. It rivals Holland. It is about 1 hour north of us. We drive up to see the daffodil fields, then again a few weeks later to see the tulip fields. Words cannot express the beauty of standing on a knoll and looking out across hundreds of acres of vibrant color.  This really is the end of the travel log!!! ;-)  Cheryl    Hey , I'm psyched to see Whidbey!
