Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi ! I also ordered olive leaf. I ordered the ointment and soap also. I started using the ointment because I have exzema, and I have had no adverse reactions from it. I have been using a very strong cortizone on my hands and arms for years. I scrub in surgery so I never really get a break! I was planning on waiting until after explant to start any detoxing. Thats to bad you had such a bad reaction! I have 5 days to go. I have to admit I am getting a little nervous. I think its more stress thinking about all the things I have to do before I go. I have 3 children, So you have to think about food and all that stuff. I have a fabulous husband, but he will take the easy route and feed the kids junk for 4 days! I ended us having to take motrin for the past couple of days because I pulled muscles in my upper back and neck, so I have been visiting the chiropractor for the last couple of days! I didn't want to do that but what do you do? There are lots of people that have an unpredictable surgery and they do fine. We are at least able to somewhat prepare! Well take care and I'll let you know how surgery goes! Fly to Dallas Thursday morning! Stay well! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2005 Report Share Posted June 12, 2005 Hi Kim. I bought the soap and ointment too and so far it seems to be doing ok on my psoriasis. We have a lot in common, I too have 3 kids. My son is in CA with his dad and my girls are going to their grandparents house while my husband accompanies me to Cleveland. It has been a lot to think about to prepare everything for this, but I think it will all turn out fine. I'm nervous/anxious too, but I have a lot of support from family and friends. My one group of friends did healing circle for me last week and are doing another one this week and I already feel better.... except for the olive leaf incident! UGH! Will you have Internet access after your surgery? I'll be wondering how you are doing. Please write in as soon as you can! hugs, -- To ktitko: olive leaf Hi ! I also ordered olive leaf.
