I went to see my natural doc last week and gave him the complete update on what was going on. He said that he thought it was all due to the Imunovir and that I was experiencing a neurodetox. In addition, I mentioned that I was having chronic pains in my lower right side in my back which hurt whenever I sat or did most anything. This he thought was due to the Imunovir taxing my system, which as a result, may have shut down my adrenal glands. Not good since that can kill you! Another thing he suspects is that my candida is still in me so he wanted my to take a medication for that. I talked about the anxiety I'd been experiencing and how I thought it might be due to the thyroid to which he said it was very unlikely. (Ironically, my GP told me the complete opposite- who am I suppose to trust?) He ordered some blood work to check my adrenals, liver, thyroid, D-3, and candida. I had it drown first thing last Thursday and am still waiting to get my results back. I filled the prescription for an anti-fungal and took it until Monday when it ran out while still continuing my usual daily vitamins.
I went away to Jersey for the weekend to see my family and took the two kids by myself. It was a hard trip, but I survived it. I was off the Imunovir all last week and the weekend and then started up on it on Monday. However, once I did, it hit me so hard that I was nearly incapacitated. I couldn't do anything without feeling limp. My sleep was disturbed by panic attacks and my heart was racing as though I was going to have a heart attack. I grabbed my image of the Blessed Virgin and prayed. I was so tired from not having slept since my kids woke up at ten to 6 almost every day and I wasn't getting to bed until 11. I decided to take myself off of the Imunovir since I had to function being out of town and needed my strength to take care of the kids and drive home again.
Two weeks ago I spoke to a dear friend of mine about everything I've been going through. She told me something very interesting and I thought it would be good to share it on here. After mentioning the long history of symptoms and tests I've had, and the little to no improvement, she explained that when all medical approaches seem helpless and without , we should call in the Church. She said a Catholic priest she knows spoke about the power of the demonic and it's influence over the body. Without knowing what else to say to help me, she suggested I talk to a priest about having myself blessed to ward off anything that might be oppressing me.
I immediately called a Benedictine priest in the family and explained what was going on with me this past year and the agony both physically and emotionally I've been suffering, and then asked if he thought it might be demonic. He was very sympathetic to me and offered to come out and give me extreme unction (aka the sacrament of the blessing of the sick) and pray for deliverance from any diabolic powers that might be hovering about me.
So last night he came and another priest friend came with him. I went to confession to the one priest and then my uncle gave me a lit blessed candle and then said these special prayers over me. He then blessed me with a relic of the True Cross of Christ, prayed for my deliverance and then anointed my head and hands with the sign of the cross. He then called up my husband and gave us both Holy Communion and we knelt together to receive a blessing with a first class relic of St. Maria Goretti, whose feast day we celebrated yesterday too! It was so beautiful and the whole time I felt this sense of peace and joy come into my heart. I looked over at my Holy Face icon and smiled. I remember praying to God as I was being blessed to take away all of the pains of my past, to heal my heart, to take all the wounds both physical and psychological away from me. I've never experienced that before in my life and felt so much comfort from it.
Now for the news you probably really want to know. How am I doing today? I woke up with no pains! My neck and back didn't hurt at all. I forgot to mention that much of the weekend I had this horrible pain in my back which I think was from my adrenals, but so far it's not there. I emailed this priest today to see what I should with the medication I've been on as I don't know if I should stay on it or not. I'm waiting to hear back from him so we'll see what he says. But anyhow, I wanted to relate this to those reading my blog because I whole heartedly believe that many of our pains could likely be due to preternatural issues. No, I'm not always looking for the devil in life, but when you have a health problem that comes out of nowhere and no seems to understand it or can give you much direction, I highly advise you consider the possibility of it coming from other sources.
Well, that's all the time I have for now, but I'll keep updating this to let you know if things stay strong or not. I hope to hear back from Dr. P about my blood results. By Friday is my guess.
