    Yup...he's a DAN! doctor (Defeat Autism Now)....so the info. is pretty much the same. There is alot of focus on the metabolic issues.....the genetic mutations/weaknesses that can set some of us up for chronic illness. I totally agree with this statement... I do believe that Anna was probably 100% on target when she said if this exposure...

    More testing and he wants to see me as soon as its all completed......and then he'll know where he wants to start with this. He had the results to my last tests (amino acids, thyroid and CD57). There were not alot of significant abnormalities in the amino acid analysis and I believe that why he was looking more at Lyme. I did have some GI markers...

    Yup....I'm in the next phase of waiting for test results....but I guess I'm just happy that I'm not starting Lyme treatment! When I first got there it seemed like that was his intention....to start treating me for Lyme. He had only just then started looking through my file because apparantly its against the law for anyone to go through a Dr.'s file...

    My appt. went really well. I went back to work for a couple of hours after seeing Dr. P.....and now I'm just ready to crawl under the covers and get some really GOOD sleep....especially after 2 nights of anxiety and heart palps. At least it was more mild last night and no bad dreams. Woo-hoo! I think I'll post about my appt. tomorrow...

    To me it sounds similar to my own issues with foods. The Cinammon Apple Tea would probably set me back for at least a week! It might be that his sulfation pathway is impaired....making him less capable of detoxing natural and synthetic food chemicals. If this is the case the raections are not immune related...they are related to toxicity building up because...

    I feel GREAT....like a load has been lifted. Thanks everyone. I think I've already realized that the illness isnt gonna stop people from loving me or wanting to be in my life...so that part is ok. I just havent wanted to even consider the possibility of a commitment or a relationship at all until I'm better. So its not even really possible...

    Glutathione = sulfur.....so it should smell like rotten eggs. My TD-DMPS totally smells like rotten egg because of the glutathione.

    I'm taking a shorter lunch today because I'm leaving work early for my appt. with Dr. P. This is the conclusion that I've come to and plan on discussing with him. 1. sulfation pathway was never strong to begin with....possibly due to genetics, my mom having had 11 amalgams, nutritional deficiencies (poor diet), and other factors. 2. Graves...

    Also in every dream I'm always sick.....its a major part of the dream. I'm just not myself and I'm always feeling rejected and alone.....and my ex is always in the dream too. It just goes back to exactly how I felt in the beginning. I think the only way the dreams will stop for good is if I'm all the way better and never having any "setbacks" or reactions...
  10. Rachel--24
    Hmmm....maybe you're onto something. Anytime I feel more sick I am more anxious about getting well. Its like nothing good will happen (romantically) until I get well again. I've said it from the start that I CANT get into a relationship until I'm all better.....I just dont want to go there. There is probably some part of me that fears going through what...
  11. Rachel--24
    Yeah....I think I'll have to work it out at some point. It just doesnt seem like it'll happen until I start regaining my health though. *sigh*
  12. Rachel--24
    I dont think there is an emotional connection in all cases of chronic illness/toxicity.....even though I do believe its a major factor for alot of people. For example with the autistic population emotional issues arent typically a major component.....even though detoxification is significantly impaired and the toxic burden is high. Its the genetic...
  13. Rachel--24
    It could be the diflucin....especially if its killing off any yeast (which would also release other toxins). Glad its subsiding and you can get some rest now. Not that I can think of. I dont even think up until then...I had ever spent a night in a house (or anywhere) all by myself. I was just never alone....and I never felt lonely or...

    If there was something I was blocking out from early childhood I was thinking it would show up during testing?? Me and Lisa were tested by the same doctor.....and he found it to be an issue for her....but not for me. I'm definately not aware of anything from my childhood as being traumatic or unresolved...and I didnt have any recurring nightmares...
  15. Rachel--24
    Yup...that is EXACTLY how I am. I know (from past experiences) that I need to be with someone who is a really good communicator. I cant deal with people who are non-communicators in a relationship. Its the most frusterating thing EVER. I have had to do this too. If I cant get things out (because the person is not willing to listen) then...

    I think the 1000 Grande bars alone would do me in. I think I'd be bouncing off the walls......I get kind of "high"....and then come crashing down. Or sometimes (in the case of pizza druggings) I just come crashing right down.
  17. Rachel--24
    Its because it gets converted to sugar very rapidly....unlike the complex carbs which are digested slower. Brown rice is suppossed to be better....but I have the same problems with it that I have with the white rice.
  18. Rachel--24
    The diets which eliminate food chemicals are Feingold (which primarily focuses on salicylates as well as preservatives, dyes and additives) and Failsafe (which eliminates salicylates, amines, high glutamates as well as the synthetic chemicals). There are alot of sites that list the foods high in salicylates, amines and glutamates. Its not a grain free...
  19. Rachel--24
    Lisa, I think it would be good for you to continue working on that stuff (bringing the emotional stuff to the surface) if you can. It definately isnt good to keep it locked up inside. Dr. M. is one of the doctors who tested me too.... but the emotional stuff wasnt blocking me at all. It was pretty much a non-issue according to him. I was thinking...

    Good luck Donna!! I hope it goes well!

    If you're interested there's a Lyme thread on this board (in the Leaky Gut Forum).....lots of info. can be found there. Good luck to you.

    psssssst.....its Andrea's birthday today. Happy Birthday Andrea!!
  23. Rachel--24
    Happy Birthday Andrea!!! Old Spaghetti Factory sounds really good. Glad you were able to get out over the weekend and I hope today is relaxing and peaceful for you. Have a good day my friend.

    Yay Kassandra!! I'm loving these recent updates!! Its exciting to see you making so much progress. Its pretty amazing how much the emotional issues affect our health. I was tested for that part of it a couple different times but it didnt appear to be an issue for me. My BioSET lady and my LED doctor both muscle tested me for emotional stuff...
  25. Rachel--24
    The food chemicals cause GI symptoms too....bloating, weight loss, gassiness, gurgling, etc. Thats the main thing that was causing my bloating and weight loss. There are physical symptoms as well as behavioral symptoms.
