interferon flashback

So tired today. So glad I could rest. I stayed in bed and it was wonderful....a little guilt but not too much. I would like to be feeling great each day but have faced the reality, that chemicals are still making their way out of my body.

I've turned the courner

This has been a good week. I've kept up with the supplements of magnesium, D, and liquid omega 3 oils. I'm eating vegetables, eggs, fruits. I've been doing stretches, and some exercise. I have endless energy. Like nothing I've ever felt before. I still have trouble sleeping. I do NOT have that terrible pain like I had before. The extreme pain is gone. Its been gone since I started on the magnesium and vitamin D. I'm certain its gone for good. My heart is full of gratitude for the relief of suffering. I do have stress pain from my neck and back after being up and about all day. It is pain at a level I can handle with little complaint. I hope to get that under control as I continue the stretching and exercise. Tonight I took a hot bath with Epson Salt. I looked on the label and never noticed before...it says magnesium as the main ingredient. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Wonders-Of-Epson-Salt&id=786252
I'm going to get some more inexpensive Epson Salt to bath in.
I saw my sister-in=law today. I took her some flowers. How nice it was to deliver a well deserved gift. We had a wonderful visit. The more we find out about each other we find many similarities in our life paths. As we mature we can share what we've learned through our trials. Its very nice. She has helped me throughout my tx and I'm grateful for her phone calls and thoughtfulness.
I got roses today from my son. I was so surprised and very happy. He is living in Utah for a period. My daughter is doing well in London. The three of us seem to be on our way to having a good year.
When I was tested for the virus about three weeks ago, I found the virus was gone. I was happy about it but not able to feel full joy because of the extreme pain problem. I can now express my joy at beating the virus. YES!! I feel and look my best. Again, my gratitude to God for being with me throughout my dark days can never be enough. I hope to do good throughout my lifetime on Earth to be an instrument through his hands. Im finally feeling the happiness and fullness of reaching a point of feeling and knowing Gods love for me and all mankind.

Wow they worked?

I'm amazed to find that the Malic Acid with Magnesium and vitamin D were helpful. It worked better then any sleeping pill I'd been taking....which by the way..never worked. I don't know which one worked that quickly...my guess it was the Magnesium. My muscles didn't tense up and hurt in the night till about four am. I took another one and watched a show..falling asleep again. Have not sleep that well in a long time. I'm going to see how I do tonight. I read many web articles about the lack of Magnesium and vitamin D. Both can cause pain. They both calm nerves, help depression, and do many things. The vitamin D is very important and we don't get it in winter months. Magnesium has also shown to be helpful for PMS. Why don't they give young girls Magnesium instead of anti ds? Then the big pharmaceutical companies wouldn't get their money if everyone could be helped from a mineral. I'm just waking up and had to post this. I'm still skeptical (just my nature). I will see how I do the rest of the week.

Rain

Its been raining for two days. Ruben and Rosario came by to change my headlights to better bulbs. They just cleaned the outsides with special salve. They looked like new. I gave Ruben some guarana for his birthday. He then helped me drop off my daughters car to be fixed. This evening I went outside to pick oranges to make fresh juice. I remembered Rosario and her girls have been feeling under the weather for a while. I juiced some oranges then took them a bag of oranges and my juicer so they could have fresh juice to get better.
Also got a post from kitkat who is a doctor. Kitkat told me that magnesium/maltate is something I may need for the muscle pains. Also vitamin D. I bought some today so I'll blog how that goes. I think she's absolutely right. I've read up on those supplements. Hadn't been in the sun all the time I was on treatment so it would make since that I'd be low on the D. I did go in the sun a few days in a row till it started raining. I even went out today when the sun came out briefly. It was cold but I let the sun touch my skin in the hopes it was making vitamin D.

Out on a Friday night

Went out tonight to meet a friend. We sat on the patio of a restaurant at a newer outdoor mall. Nice night. I still wore my long velvet coat and boots. Cathy said my coat looked like one her mom had from the forties. I looked nice with my hair colored darker and trimmed nice.. I wore a dress. Starting to feel human again.
I had some spiritual experiences. Just feeling a load of gratitude. Enough that I cried. What a wonderful feeling. I was beginning to worry the anti ds were taking away the feeling of having the spirit around me. My heart is full now. I am finally making it through this tough time.
My tamale business is so fun. I have a logo now. It feels great to service people and spread some happiness through food as I'm making wages.

Seems being alone in the house has been good after all. I feel so alone but I needed to be alone to feel my way without distractions.
I pray every day for my kids. How I love them and wish for their happiness. I miss them. So thankful families are forever!!

New beginnings

I didn't sleep much last night and I don't care. I'm beginning to go with the flow..and not worry so much about the sleep. It will come when my body adjusts.

I had a good Sunday and went to all my meetings at Church. My week always goes better when I do that. I haven't been doing that for a while since the meetings are three one hour blocks. During tx I went to one hour then post I would go to two hours. Now I'm back to three hours and it feels wonderful. One is sacrament (taking sacrament and speakers, one is Relief Society(womans group) and one is Sunday School. I loved it today as we talked of receiving personal revelation for ourselves and how we can do this.
Tonight I began to think about the water I was buying and how it costs too much. I looked on line about the water machines and then saw this great you tube video. This guy gets spring water and makes the water turn in to vortex to bring it to life. I suppose I could put two bottles together like he did...only my small ones. He is fascinating to me. Then I saw him on a video where he is making a elixir from herbs. This guy is the new genius of the upcoming generation.
I will put the links on here. I think my UK friends should be alright with water. I remember someone telling me the water was good there. But I really don't know. I watched all his youtube videos and I agree with him.

This one is also wonderful. I'm going to try the herbs he talks about. Hopefully I'll take some years off my life as I become healthier. I've already feeling better from the foods I'm eating.
