Countdown to Surgery on 11/7

[Guest guest]

Good morning everyone. Had a few weeks where I felt really good, a

little taste of what it might be like to be normal again after 5

months of suffering (5 months that feels like years, but I know there

are others who have suffered a whole lot longer than me). Actually I

wonder if feeling good for the last few weeks was in part due to some

vitamins I was taking - I felt good for a few weeks on them, then

felt bad and stopped taking them because it seemed like I had vitamin

A toxicity, and for a few weeks after stopping the vitamins I felt

really good. Even though they were more than my body could handle,

they must have temporarily strengthened my immune system since I felt

so good a few weeks after discontinuing them. Now I'm feeling quite

poorly, my head throbs, my fingers are swollen, my fingernails and

toenails also throb, and my vision is definitely blurry. I notice

when I don't feel well, my fingers look kind of bluish. I also

notice my husband is stepping me through things that he never had to

before, so he must notice my brain fog. Thankful that I've only got

a few weeks before surgery on 11/7. I've lost 10 lbs and I was thin

to begin with. One thing I've noticed, and I don't know why, is that

during my period I often feel better, but the week or two before my

period my symptoms get alot worse. I'm on the pill and I think that

aggravates my symptoms, because I think the pill lowers your

immunity, so that might explain why I feel better during my period,

because I'm not taking the pill. I'm thankful that I have some

supportive family members and friends, really thankful to have found

this site, and extremely thankful that my husband is finally on board

with this (some of you may recall he couldn't accept that these

implants were making me sick, but I gave him what he wanted and ruled

out any other possible illness that my doctors could think of, plus I

must thank his sister for yelling at him and somehow getting through

to him). Interesting to feel so awful and have bloodwork all turn

out normal. I have pre-surgical vitamins that I'll be taking prior

to my surgery, so I'm curious to see if I feel good or bad on them -

I want to give them a try, but I think I'll take 2 a day instead of

6, since I showed a sensitivity to too much vitamin A in the past. I

don't have a question, I guess I just wanted to reach out to the

group for support as I prepare to have my surgery. Dr. Feng is my

doctor, I know I'm in good hands, I just ask for your prayers. When

I postponed my original surgery of 10/5, I was totally distraught and

felt hopeless, my husband was a major roadblock and in my heart I

knew Dr. Feng was the right person for the job. I told my husband

that I had two choices, suicide or surgery - and obviously I'm opting

for the surgery.
