The newest news on my health problems is that the Drenamin made things worse. It helped at first, especially with my energy levels, but by the second week, it had made things worse. I was sick 6 days last week. We’re going to try a different herbal blend to calm things down. Today was the first day on them and so far so good. Hopefully we’ve got something now.
On a side note, I finally got all the papers to the insurance company and am just waiting to hear back.

After an early morning acupuncture appointment, I’ve learned a few things. The guy said all of my pulse points were ok, except for one. He found my endocrine system and particularly my bladder to be out of whack. I am not especially surprised by this since I’ve always had bladder problems. He put some needles in and worked on me for about an hour. When I went in, I was having a full blown episode of my mystery illness; nausea, dizziness, faintness, panic attack, the works. I was shocked that he got me from the verge of throwing up to feeling fine within about 15 minutes. We will see how it holds up tomorrow because I have to get up extra early and getting up early/not getting enough sleep seems to trigger these things. He recommended, more water, more sleep and to get off birth control pills. I don’t think I can realistically get off my pills, but I am probably due to reevaluate them since I’ve been on the same thing for 10 years. So, we’ll see how things go. It seems a little bit like quackery, but it seemed to have helped today and I’d rather avoid getting a prescription to fix my ailments. I’m just tired of being given a pill for everything. I think it’s making everything worse.
I’m still waiting to hear from Lovelace about my health insurance, but in the meantime, I’ve been doing some research and looking into alternative methods. My chiropractor suspects an adrenal disorder and prescribed me Drenamin. We’ll see how that goes. If it improves, great, if not, no loss. I’m also going to try the acupuncture clinic on Tuesday to see if they have any direction for me. Basically I figure if I can get a general direction from homeopathic methods, I can take that to a general practice and hopefully it means less poking and stabbing for me.
Wow, what a crappy day. Not only did my patriot lose in the superbowl yesterday, I also was up all night sick with food poisoning. I am just barely starting to feel like I can try eating some crackers. The key has been apple cider vinegar and activated carbon. I’m really surprised that I’m thinking about solid food when a few hours ago I couldn’t even keep water down. Last night was pretty awful though. I couldnt sleep until we tried the cider vinegar, then I could sleep in 2 hour increments between being sick. Hopefully tonight will be normal…
