5 years in to this, and update

June was 5 years. I’m getting married next October and starting to feel sad that I’m STILL in this position. I got 70% better. That extra 30% haunts me.

I also found out I have Addisons Disease and my body isn’t producing cortisol. The drug for that is a steroid, and you guessed it - when I tried it out of course my body went crazy. It was worth a shot and it gave me energy. But now I’m off it again.

I’m discouraged. So many layers to this disease that I can’t seem to overcome. I’ve done abx up the wa zu. 4 years of abx. I’m better in many respects but worse in others.

I’m doing Cowden protocol and really working on getting my cortisol into balance.

Anyone else felt this discouraged farther into the process and how did you get over the hump?

I definitely have discouragement. I got progressively worse over a lot of years. Three years ago l learned mold exposure was driving symptoms and immune dysfunction. Over the past 3 years, I have tried to help myself and treated Lyme/co with Buhner’s protocols but made limited progress.

I have had constant struggles and recently discovered through testing that I am now being exposed to more mold than what I fled from. I have not been able to find safe housing and have really bad chemical sensitivities, too. I feel like I just wasted 3 years spinning my wheels.
