Tuesday IV

Tuesday, I went in for an ozone IV. I felt really great when I left, so the kids and I went across town to see my sister JK and nephew Ty. The days I only do ozone IV's I feel great. Chelation IV's stir up toxic metals and gives me a toxic headache or migraine. The weather was great and the boys played outside awhile and we soaked up some sun.

Today, I'll try an ozone sauna for the first time. So, I have a shortened day at the clinic. Dr V wanted me to do no other treatments on the sauna day to see if it there is any notable response to it. This is something I can continue at home with an ozone machine if I buy a sauna kit. The intent is detox of the junk we have mobilized with treatments.

Thursday is a big day of many IV's and I will be doing micro-current therapy as a trial as well. I am going to ask more about this, but I think it is similar to my rife frequency machine at home or like a tens machine, only more comprehensive. If so, and if they know of helpful frequencies for me, I can do this at home with my machine. They have a little different method of administering the treatment than just tens pads which is what I have. So, I'm interested in seeing what Dr. V does and how his machine works.

My port pain started decreasing yesterday. Thanks for prayers for that, it ramped up from Fri to Mon and finally started feeling better Tuesday. We haven't accessed it yet partly because of pain and partly because they didn't have any huber needles. So, maybe Thursday accessing the port can be added to the long list of what's going on that day. I have 10 days to learn how to use my port and what treatments to continue at home. We are doing experimental trials of various things. Pray to help us narrow down the most effective treatments and medicines.

Well, my main daily trouble is this diet. I want to give it a fair shot so I am sticking to it, but I'm always hungry and coffee smells torture me. I think I am losing weight everyday so no telling what I'll look like in 10 more days. I have no scale, but I can tell by my clothes those few pounds I put back on before I left have come back
off. I'm using the tightest notch on my smallest belt and will be adding a new hole here soon. Everyone says "I know someone on a gluten free diet and it's doable." If it were only gluten I couldn't eat, I wouldn't complain! Quit telling me that! Also, since when is 'knowing someone on a diet' meaningful in any way to what a diet is like?

Basically, food gives me little to no enjoyment anymore. It's just a hassle to eat and I'm always hungry. Yesterday, I was thinking: would I rather be in pain from allergen foods or always hungry because I can't eat anything? (I have drugs for the first!) I'm not sure this is better. I wake up in the middle of the night now not because of body pain, but because of hunger--and I don't want a salad. I haven't given up, but the novelty has most definitely worn off. I think if I could simply have my coffee, I would not whine. I can't have wine either. Ok pity party over...Sigh.

It's amazing how spoiled we get isn't it? I'm sure many would love what I have to eat. I need to remember that, then be glad for rice and salad!
