My doctor ran through my blood work, fairly impressed. My cholesterol is still not doing what it is supposed to do but other than that he said I get a good report.
On his other testing he checked out my stomach, he found an overgrowth of E.Coli and salmonella, our guess is this could be the reason I never feel like eating. He gave me a remedy to kill the bad bacteria, digestive enzymes, and an oral glutathione to take. I am hoping that this week will get my stomach back to working again so I can eat. I feel like I am always starving even when I’m “full”. I know I don’t eat enough, I counted my calories the other day for 3 days. I managed around 1,000 calories a day. Which is less than half what I need to be doing.
If we can get my stomach working this week and help my sleep out, I won’t be in to bad of shape when I leave here.
Honestly since my IV last month I have been holding fairly well. Even my brain power has been good enough, still needs improvement by a long shot but I am functioning well with what I have. I have had joint pain and other pain things coming and going plus exercise still is a no good. But hey as long as I have a little energy, a little brain power, and a lot of support from my best friend I can make do just fine!
School has been going fairly well also, I’ve struggled a bit but if I’m fully honest here there’s plenty of non sick people who work harder in class than myself but have lower grades. I may not be doing as perfectionistic as I would prefer in my school work but I can’t say I am grasping for straws(but the semester isn’t over yet and I still have papers to write!).
I have not yet seen the doctor today but it won’t be much longer before more progress is made today.
