the week before Christmas
well I seem to be over the worst of the chest infection, the coughing and plegm are over for the most part. I have a bit more energy but the lung capacity has not come back to were it was before. I am very winded most of the time and my O2 levels are dropping into the 70's and 80's on exertion.
The good news is that the funding approval came in for the rituximab and I get the first infusion Jan 18th. I am hoping that this will at least put the progression on hold and maybe I will get a little back.
I started a new remedy from the homeopath and she has me taking something for my adrenals. According to the hair analysis she did my adreanls are fried, weathe due to the illness or the meds who knows. I wll be starting the probiotics again and adding digestive enzymes next week. She is letting me have Christmas before we start an elimination diet. she thinks I may have leaky gut syndrome.
I think I am almost ready for christmas, still have to get something for my Dad......almost impossible. Still have to wrap everything and get the tree decorated...maybe tomorrow.
First of the year we are getting a new washer and dryer nd moving them to the main floor because it is getting to difficult to go up and down the stairs.
I havent journalled much lately because I have been confined mostly to the couch and I cant journal from the iPad, and I was too tired to get the laptop.....it got so bad that we bought an automatic coffee maker because the french press was too much work....lol.

Oh nooo, a regular automatic coffee maker.. one of the first signs of feeling better will be when you are fussy and want the french press back.
I understand the fatigue issue and not feeling like getting the laptop down. They are really heavy and awkward when you don\'t feel well and are struggling for breath. I look forward to your journals so I will be waiting until you feel better to read some more. I hope that your 02 levels rise now that the infection is gone.
The guys finally did a little house clean up today and my tired little tree is up, that\'s about it for decoration around here for this Christmas.
Just in case I don\'t make it back here before Christmas. I wish you a Very Merry ! And I am praying for a Christmas miracle even if you have to wait until after January 18th to feel the benefits.
Peace, Love and Hugs
Lookin forward to you gettin back on your feet and ready for spring biking. You are in my prayers.
Let\'s try this again. I tried to comment yesterday but I get kicked off of my wifi if I do more than 3 things on this site. Weird thing, the free wifi in the hotel kicked me off and gave me a warning about using this site.
I\'m so glad that you get the new med, I have heard a lot of good things about it. If the diet gets too much or doesn\'t work (it didn\'t for my leaky gut) let me know because I know of a wonderful product from Amazon Herbs that fixed my issue in just a week. I do hope you feel tons better soon. My son is still coughing from the sickness he had for a month. Doc says it was just a long one, he had seen quite a few of the respiratory bugs this year.
Fingers crossed, I\'m going to try this again. Much love to you, Kim
