A good month

This month has been pretty good. I had a wonderful holiday! First a late lunch with family, and then dinner with friends. The weather was lovely and I felt really good despite eating enough food to choke a horse which included half a chicken, a plethora of side dishes and an entire pumpkin pie! I have been actively looking for work both online and outside the home. Right now I'm going a bit stir-crazy with all the energy I have and would really like to put it toward earning an income.
In other news, I am in the process of collecting recyclable materials that can be used to build a solar-powered space heater. I've been browsing online schematics and have found one that I can build myself :-) Some of the materials, such as a sheet of Plexiglas and heater hose I may have to buy, but the rest will be recycled materials. I'm really excited, and hope to start building it within the next month so I can save my Dad a bit of money on his electric bill this winter.
Well, that's all for now. Bye!

Change in meds

I saw my doctor on the 14th and we decided to change my meds a bit. After two months on the full protocol, I was feeling really bogged down, so I went off everything but one antimicrobial; Samento. I slowly upped the dosage to reach a daily dose of 20 drops. That is when I began to feel a great deal of improvement. I explained this to my doctor and she concurred that the full protocol is just too much for my body to handle. So, I will continue on the Samento, and add Serrapeptase and Zeolite; two enzymes that eat up cellular debris which should help keep me feeling well, and ease any Herx reactions I may have in the future. I'm very excited about this and am looking forward to greater improvement in my health :-)

Tired today

I have been very tired and foggy-headed today. I feel pretty drained so I haven't done much and will most likely go to bed early. Hopefully tomorrow will be better :-)

A slight improvement : -)

Sorry for the gap between posts. I've actually seen a bit of improvement in my condition and the excitement at being able to do a little more physically has pulled my attention away from this site. My stamina has been pretty steady despite feeling tired most of the time. It's more of a general tiredness, as opposed to the extreme "I've got to lie down right now!" fatigue. For about the last week I've been able to sweep and mop the floors several times, and have been cooking dinner almost every night :-) I was even able to walk to the store and back ( about 2 neigborhood blocks) without the extreme backlash that usually comes after exerting myself....I did feel a bit more tired than usual, and had to add a nap during the day, but all in all, it wasn't so bad. I love to cook and am really enjoying trying out new recipes. My baby sister and her friend have gone vegetarian, so I've been experimenting with vegetarian dishes where I normally use meat. Tonight I made veggie spaghetti....zuchinni, bell pepper onions sauteed with mushroom sauce over pasta. It was a hit! :-) Anyway, that's what I've been up to. I will try to post more often now that I'm out of bed more. Ciao for now!

Family reunion

My older brother came to visit on Tuesday (28th) with his wife and kids...I had not seen them in about 8 years.....the girls were soooo big, and the baby whom I hadn't met was already 16 months old, and sooooooo cute. My whole family showed up - about 15 people - and we stayed up til 1am talking, laughing and roasting hot dogs and marshmallows in the fire pit out back. We all took a ton of pictures and I followed the kids around with the camcorder...hehe. I started to fade out early in the evening....a can of root beer helped me stay up for the remainder of the 17-hour event. I went to bed immediately after everyone left and ended up sleeping a total of 35 hours over the next two days. I am still recovering.
