OK, so I have just begun my first dose of this super expensive, Ireland-imported drug called Imunovir, purchased via script in Canada (no, it is not available on-line so don't buy it if you see it out there!) for the purpose of treating my candida and underlying viral infection, which no one seems to know what it is or for that matter, how I contracted it. I am told by my natural MD that I am "moldy". My system is full of yeast which has resulted in my entire body having bizarre and ever changing symptoms. I will go into the history of my health issues in the next post, but for now I will simply document the fact that I am using this acidic pill to help boost my immune system and fight whatever is attacking me.
So far, I have taken two pills and will continue that Monday through Friday of this week, take off the weekend, and then start up next week taking three pills, three times a day for that week. Thus far, I have noticed some chest discomfort, mainly under my breasts. It is slightly throbbing and comes on when I move about or turn my chest. There is subtle nausea as well, though that might be due to the fact that I have eaten very little today.
I have been very busy today trying to clean up the house after having dealt with a very stressful weekend preparing for my daughter's 2nd birthday party, while also having my husband out of town in FL. So perhaps the chest discomfort is due to stress. I don't know. I went to a cardiologist this past Friday because I am having tingling in my hands and feet and have more recently noticed a kind of tightness in my right lower leg and foot. My cardiologist did an ENT and everything looked fine. He told me that whatever is wrong with me, it is not heart related, which is a major relief! However, no one can tell me why I am getting these tingly sensations, save my natural MD who says it's due to my candida. I am suspicious that he is going to tell me that for everything so I need to get second opinions just to be sure there isn't more that he's missing. For today that is all I have to say. If there is more I will add it later, but I don't expect there will be.
(This is the more later segment)
So one major heartache in being sick with an unknown illness (though most likely an autoimmune dysfunction) is that you don't get a lot of people who believe you, especially those closest to you. My husband is not the most supportive of people. He and I had a fight this evening right before I was to go to my NUCCA chiropractor (fabulous stuff btw- if you have one nearby go to one, they do wonders for your back and neck!). Anyway, he thinks that I do nothing, but spend his money and go to doctors and that it's all enough already. He doesn't think this chiropractor is helping me, when he is! My back problems and persistent headaches are much less than they ever were, but he tells me I should just grin and bare it. Needless to say, I got very upset with him, had to cancel my appointment last minute and then went grocery shopping to stay away from him once the kids went to bed. My chest still hurts and I have no one to talk to. Unbelievable!
Alright, well it's getting late and I need to give some time to God before I sleep so here's wishing you all a very peaceful and blessed night. I'll let you know how tomorrow goes, hopefully better than today.
