How is your wrist doing since your last blood draw?

Is the pain getting less intense??

Awww, Little Bear - how sweet of you to ask. <3

Yes, it's much better...just feeling a little pain here and there around the wrist area. But, it doesn't feel like the nerve pain jolts anymore - more achey.
I did go to my regular Dr. and told her..so it's on record.

i can't remember if I posted an update on the other thread - I called the head office of the Lab and told them what happened. They told me to go to my Dr. and they were going to set up re-training for the Lab tech.

How about you? Is your's better?

I am happy to hear that it is getting better!! YAY!

Yes, I remember reading your updated post. And how they were going to give some more training to the tech.

My pain is gone! It took a little over a month to heal. Thank you for asking. 💜

I am starting to get a little nervous though. I have to go for another lab draw soon. I really can't get to excited about going to the "stabbin cabin" (clinic).

Hopefully things will go better than last time.

I was just thinking about my next blood draw. Not sure I want that vein poked at again...I think I want to leave it alone.

But, then it means having my left arm stabbed. My left arm is where I've had my nerve pain from the start...and I really don't like to aggravate that.

So, are you giving her the same arm to poke?

Ha ha ha!!

She got me in both of my arms last time!! She hit the nerve in my right arm, then went to my left arm, forgot to fill a vial, went back to my right arm.

Yeah, if I were you, I wouldn't know which arm to choose. Like you said you usually stay with your right arm b/c you already have pain on your left side.

Why does this all have to be so difficult??

Oh, now I remember what she did to you...lol.

Yes, It is all so difficult. I had a tummy ache today after taking my meds...and thought "here we go...now what?"

So tired of this .... constantly thinking of what I'm going to take next...how I'm feeling...how will I feel later....why is the back of my head itchy now? oh - do I have a rash forming? What's that on my leg...a bruise? I don't remember bumping into anything. hmm....my tongue is tingling...better check and see if it's got a white coating on it..... how come my left knee is sore today...I haven't felt that in many months...am I back-sliding?

Yeeesssss!!!

I am so sick of the guessing game! Is it Lyme? Is it Bartonella? Is it Babesia?

This puzzle sucks!! Oh and don't forget my friend Candida, parasites, and who knows what else??

Just last week, I started to stutter again. Then I lost my ability to form a word. I have stopped taking antibiotics since June 2016, b/c of severe herxing. I started to focus on trying to get my body to properly detox and started Byron White AP. March 2017 I finished Dr Klinghardt parasite protocol. I was supposed to start a second round, but my thyroid crashed.

Hey, speaking of bruises, I have noticed more on my body since starting my parasite protocol. I have had clusters of bruises on my arms and legs. But it could also be b/c a couple of months ago, my lab work showed that my Red Blood Cells were low. Not quite anemic, but very close. So here is the big question- is this from parasites? or Babesia? or Lyme??

Ugh!!!!!! I would like to say that there are times when I just want to scream and pull my hair out. But then again, enough of my hair fell out on its own recently.

I love your quote "here we go... now what?" I have that written all over in my daily journal, except I use the "F" bomb a lot. ;)

I don't know why I even keep a daily journal anymore. I can't find any rhyme or reason for anything. I guess I can recycle all of them. I can shred up all the paper and use it for my cat's litter box. Lol!

Speaking of back-sliding. I feel like I am going forward in reverse with my treatment.

I just want that magical moment where I start to greatly improve to know that I am on the right track with treatment. I know that you and everyone else here want the same thing.

Sorry, I am starting to really derail this thread!

I hope that we all get better soon!!

Well it's your thread to derail....yeah


I read that when we kill Babesia, we lose red blood cells and we can become anemic.
bruising can be a sign of anemia.
So, it could be that the Babs die-off caused the anemia...which in turn causes the bruises.


Better days are coming...just keep chipping away at it. We'll get there...read 1000Daisies post again...NEVER GIVE UP.

We got this, Little Bear
