Day 5

Hello All. Today’s blog will be a little short. Being that my brain is clearer today, I have a lot to do around here. Like reading the handouts from my new doctor!

Today I had a dress rehearsal for my blood drawing for blood tests. I say dress rehearsal because after telling the technician one of the tests is time sensitive, I found out that office I went to could not accommodate my needs. So tomorrow morning I get to drive to another city (45 minutes away) and get it done.

I also found out today that I will be receiving vitamin B12 and a bunch of syringes. Hmmm…I’ve been needle phobic most of my life, but over time I have become desensitized to being poked and prodded by others. The thought of trying to give one to myself? That makes me feel nauseous. Maybe I can do it, I don’t know.
Today I started part of my new protocol. The aim of it is to get my gut back to normal. I’m taking enzymes to break down the biofilm in my intestines where the bad organisms live, while taking probiotics and prebiotics to help colonize it with good organisms. Science or science fiction? We’ll see how I feel after 3 months of this. I’m also going to make my first green smoothie today recommended by my doctor. I’ll be using baby spinach, water and some fruit, and adding some flax seed meal. Sounds yummy doesn’t it?

Until tomorrow…
Linda
