My weekly counts were good today :) The lab technician was surprized as the counts actually went down instead of steadly climbing up as they had been. She and I were both sure I would need a phlebotomy today. We were both happily surprized. She said "what ever your doing, keep doing it!" She also commented about keep getting the phlebotomy arm ready each week, seems when I have it ready, sorta like murphys law, wont need to use it. By getting my arm ready, that means, I put the numbing cream "lidocaine" on the vein she usually uses, and over that a tegaderm patch. That is left on for at least 1 hour before the blood draw. The lidocaine is sure a wonderful product, it numbs that area so I barely feel the big needle she has to use for the phlebotomy. I credit all the prayers for me for helping me to feel better and for my counts to be so good today. I believe the homeopath products I am taking are helping my body to cope with all this too. I have managed to go 4 weeks now without having to have blood taken out. In the beginning of all this they took a pint of blood 2 times a week, then weekly. I will continue my homeopath products along with prayer and with this I am feeling very encouraged. My cup runneth over...that best describes how I feel right now :)
