A year ago or more I started to feel tired all the time, mood swings, aches and pains, many of the other symptoms you have all described. As fate would have it, my employer fired me early in May - not related to my performance, but to her greed. After much soul searching, and with the support of my husband, we decided to start our own business. My office would be home, I would work as an independent representative, targeting Home Health Agencies, Wound Care Centers, Geriatric Physicians, etc. Initially I started with a Home Medical Equipment Provider with a specific focus on patients with wounds, and a dressing manufacturer. Purchased the equipment and supplies necessary to set up a home office, ordered business cards, started making contacts and building relationships. I seemed to be more tired each day, and started finding more and more ways to "work from home".
Then one day I was putting lotion on my legs, and something that looked like a hair just came out - I wanted to think it was just my imagination, I rinsed it off my hand with water and continued to apply lotion. I noticed it still in the sink, and I was sure it moved! I found a magnifying glass, and sure enough, it was moving. That started my endless search on the internet for what it could be - finally in July I discovered this site.
I have been on an emotional roller coaster. I have tried many of the suggestions offered here, at least now I know there really is a reason for how I feel, it's not in my mind. At least once a day I check this site. I seem to find comfort and feel support, and I'm always looking for something to make this go away. I feel much better now. I have always been a healthy person, take vitamins daily, and for the past year had been taking water oz liquid silver daily. I hate to think what shape I would have been in otherwise.
My day now begins with minimum of 30 minutes exercise, I figure the more I can sweat the better. I now take essential amino acids, oregano with the liquid silver, enriching greens, vitamin E, chromium picolinate with B6, silica, ginko, MSM sulfur, and flax oil - in addition to the Vibe. Sometime during the day I'll take vitamin C - then later more flax oil - then pomegranate, more enriching greens, later essential amino acids again, just before bed I take aloe with fennel seed and copper. I now have myself on a 2 cup of coffee maximum (I used to drink a whole pot each morning) - I know I should give it up, but I can't do that just yet, it's still one of those little things in life I enjoy.
After exercise, I take an hour bath - sometimes in epsom salts, sometimes tea tree oil, maybe lander bubble bath, and yes, some days even borax. I follow the bath with a shower, and shampoo with selsun blue shampoo. I usually follow with hemp lotion. I also use aloe gel, peroxide, and rubbing alcohol, as needed. I have been amazed at the things that are coming out of my skin. It's not something I want to share with anybody. I have always kept my house clean, now it's unbelievable the things I do. I want these things out of my life.
My husband has no sign of this, how is that possible? When I added the additional vitamins, etc. I did the same for him, I sure don't want this to happen to him. Until this is over, I don't feel I should be out marketing wound care products. The only lesions I have are on my shoulders and one of my ankles - that seems odd.
Nights are getting worse instead of better, itching, biting, painful joints, horrible thoughts. I'm one of those people that tried to avoid tylenol (always thinking of my liver) now I require it every night. If I had access to any kind of pain pill, I'm sure I would take it, and that's totally out of character for me.
I had gone to a Doctor early in the year, because I was so tired, he said I was depressed, gave me lexapro, which I did not take for long, because I didn't think I was depressed (maybe he was right). After my employer terminated me, I went to see a counselor, talked with him about health issues and about the "hair" that came out with the lotion - he thought I imagined that - he told me the mind is powerful!
This morning I decided this disease, or whatever it is, may just be the best thing that has ever happened to me. I no longer have my nails done, don't color my hair (no point if you use selsun blue) and rarely wear makeup (need to keep my face clean for the peroxide and alcohol throughout the day)
I have always been a kind and caring person, I would give someone in need my last dollar, but this has brought a new meaning to life. We must be so grateful, for every day we're here.
So far, what I read on www.euroamericanhealth.com - thanks to Skytroll, makes the most sense to me.
I have spent countless hours trying to understand the cause, the candida makes sense to me too.
This is a new day, I'll leave the cause to professionals that know and understand these things, I'll do all I can to cure myself, and offer any assistance I can to others. I would like to know where this came from, and why my husband doesn't have it when I do. You can make yourself crazy if you think too deep about this. Especially if you think about religion - I've even wondered if selected ones of us were being pulled together for some purpose, other times I wondered if it was the plague. But today I have decided I can't spend anymore time thinking about it. I'm taking back my power today!
Today instead of countless hours reading websites, I'll be making phone calls to schedule appointments for September. I will no longer allow pain and disappointment, or negative thoughts. I will find the good in everybody and every situation. I am a good person, and I will strive to be even better. I will continue to exercise, improve my health, and learn to love myself again. I am in control of my destiny. I am grateful for the lessons I have learned in life; and the opportunity to start this new business. When I have challenging times, I'll work that much harder.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, we can overcome this, but we have to take control of our emotions and our lives again, and find something positive. This has made us stronger - if we can beat this, we can do anything!
