Hi Barbara,
I'm mainly being treated for fatigue. Before I moved, I got a treatment once a week for a month, and then I was supposed to go back sporadically, as needed. But I moved after that month of treatments, so I'll be starting over.I know what you mean about feeling worse before you feel better. Some kind of "detox" occurs, I think.
We are lucky to have docs that do this -- I hear they are few and far between. I am so glad to have found someone here -- in a smaller city than where I was living before (I used to live in the Detroit metropolitan area).
I hope you feel better! Keep me posted ...
cindy> Hello Cindy,
> The first one was a 'push' (that's the actual term for it) where a small-ish amount was slowly pushed into my vein by the attendent. Then, the next one was a drip, because alot more of the stuff was given. That took about an hour. I'm told that as the amount of liquid increases, I'll be sitting there for 1-1/2 hours. I imagine you'll need to get someone to care for your little one since you don't want to be running around attached to an IV drip or being stressed out during the proceedure.

Along with the Myers Cocktail and extra magnesium and calcium, I'm getting 20g Vit C - a pretty huge amount, considering I'm mainlining it. It acts as a chelator of heavy metals, so some nasty stuff gets released and circulates before it moves out. It'll get better. I guess we're lucky to find doctors who are hep to this treatment, even though it's a huge financial commitment. What are you getting the treatments for? - Barbara
