Dr.V. Visit Update

Thursday, April 30, 2009 0 comments

The picture below is one of those uplifting message I get send from the TUT club. I have been a member for about 8 or 9 years I think, long before The Law Of Attraction became a media hype we were already discussing Thoughts become Things and receiving daily Notes From The Universe. It's fun, it's uplifting and you are the total focus and I like that ;-) The picture below if drawn by Andy Dooley, Mike brother and they always make me smile. You can't read the words very well by it says:





Everything happens in your life for a reason,
Whether it's short lived, or for a season.

No matter how bad it might be,
This too shall pass, as you will see.

Every problem you face is a gift to grow,
Look within your heart and let the love flow!


Well, it took me more than a week to recover from that visit. Boy was I down in the dumps! It all started when I arrived at the clinic and Mark told me dr.V in all his wisdom had decided this was a good time to get re-tested. Which meant 21 vials/tubes of blood. Poor Mark, who is the lab technician of Quest Labs and has an office in the clinic, his computer system was down and he had to do all the admin stuff by hand not fun! I have hyper-coagulation and thus very thick and sticky blood that comes out in drops instead of flowing nice and freely. But Mark is a very good it only took him 6 times to get the full 21. A record!

I was happy to see dr.V and he was happy to see me, it's always nice to know you're liked by your physician ;-) And he is so driven and enthusiast and that's very catching. We discussed my bladder problems and he promised to look up a homeopathic remedy and said we should do an ultra sound to make sure nothing nasty is in the way. Discussed medication and the fact that I'm not doing well on any chemical medication, no progress with anything we tried and we tried a lot, from thyroid medications and hormones to antibiotics. I'm very low on my Thyroid so one should expect to improve with thyroid meds but not me, I get worse. I have almost no progesterone or DHEA and if I take some I get horribly and violent reactions. Same with serotonin. If I take anything that affects my serotonin I become suicidal.
I'm a freak of nature ;-)

Anyway we added new supplements to my already full program. DGL which I absolutely love! They are chewy tablets that taste like good Dutch licorice so I can't wait to take them twice a day. They sooth the stomach lining and digestive tract which has been affected by the darned antibiotics.
Further dr.V. suggested we started Heparin treatment, because I am so hyper-coagulated it is important to treat that and injections with Heparin is one way to do that. I inject myself twice a day with 1/10 or the treatment the 'normal' people use. Normal dose is 5000 units 2 daily, I use 500 units 2 daily. Since already a week has passed I can tell you it was mighty difficult to get the Heparin. After I got home I discovered Heparin was recalled last year because it was tainted in China and there were a lot of deaths here in the US. I must say I became a little worried, but I do hope that other pharmaceutical companies made sure they didn't have the tainted kind.
I finally got some yesterday, the clinic was so kind to send me some because no pharmacy wanted to order them for me. I have no idea how pricey it is as I have seen no bill yet ;-)

What the Heparin does is dissolve the sticky stuff in my blood vessels and arteries so the immune cells can enter through the artery wands and do their job i.e killing the nasty bugs and viruses. The side effects of Heparin will be a herx reaction (yeah!! looking forward to that ... not), bleeding, blue bruises etc. this is all at the normale dose but because I react so strongly to anything we expect me to have the same reaction on a low dose.

Tonight I took my firs shot, so I'm now up to 4 different shots a day and I even heard dr.V mention of giving colloidal silver intravenous when the going gets though with this H1N1 influenza! I'm starting to feel like a junk ;-)

Will keep you all posted on how this new Heparin stuff is going to work.

Of course I had a very strong reaction to giving so much blood that I relapsed and was basically house and bed bound again for a week. All my muscles joints and organs hurt,and I had a fever.
One good thing came out of it, it all of a sudden occurred to me that I also could very well have trigger points that would or could point to pelvic pain. I looked it up in Clair Davies 'The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook' book and lo and behold there it was. I got out my Sonoform Ultrasound massager and treated the points he mentioned and today already feel a lot better, so I hope I'm on the right track.
