The treatment in the US was long but short, on the first day, they took what seemed to be all my blood in my body, but that wasn’t too bad. I then saw the doctor, and he explained what they think was going on, what they would find from the test. After about an hour, I was sent to a room for some IV treatments. I had no problem with the IVs and even thought it seemed like forever for them to finished, I was on my way back to the hotel by 3pm. The worst part of the first day was that I had surgery on my mouth, before leaving Dubai, and I developed something called dry clot. It was pass painful, and thank goodness the center found me a very nice dentist.
On day two it was more of the same with IV treatments and me learning how to give myself a shot (which I totally hate). I was so tried that I sleep for most of the day, that was after Magnus found me earplugs and one of the nurses gave me an eye mask.
The third day in Atlanta was a free day, so we tried to catch up on some shopping and I really over did it. Magnus, could even tell that I over did it, big time, but the time was short. It rained almost everyday we were there, and most people would have been upset about that, but for us, it was really nice to see and feel the rain.
We returned on the fourth day to get my results and to get more IVs. The results told us a lot of things. I have an over growth of yeast (that isn’t something that I am proud of) I have a big problem with my iron levels, and thyroid levels are also low. It seems that my adrenal glands are not working as they should. The doctor believes that this may come down to me having the Epstein Barr Virus about 10 years ago. So, if you add all of this to my level Vit D3 levels, you can probably understand why body is hurting like it is.
One of the hardest things, was trying to get all of my meds and supplements together, to come back. We were in Atlanta for seven days, and it was a busy seven days. I wish I had more time, and also took it a bit easier, while I was there, I believe that would have made things a lot easier.
I cannot tell if all this money and treatment will all work, but it was nice to be in a place, where they did seem to have some kind of idea of what is going on with me and my Fibro.
