Yes it would be good to hear from him but also everyone we havent heard from for a while. Perhaps we will as it is comming up to the flu season in the northern hemisphere. Hope we do in a positive way

...and does anyone remember farmer456? I wonder how he is doing? Enjoyed hearing about him and his country doctor!
Robbo: Magnesium is a good idea too. My naturopath has me taking this too along with calcium in a liquid. I am very happy with my naturopath since she has given me hope and encouragement. My family doctor has been okay too. The neuro hit on a little bit of my problem, but missed the over-all picture and actually my doctor did a better job of diagnosis. It's too bad that you haven't been able to get better supports. Do you think you need to see a counsellor/therapist/professional to talk about what has happened to you?. Congratulations and good luck with your new job!
Turtle: I had a very fast pulse (tachycardia) and chest spasms in the beginning. That's why the neuro diagnosed chronic hyper-ventilation (but nothing else), but I haven't had that symptom in months. As a precaution, I had an ultrasound of my heart, but everything was good. The only explanation was that my nerves possibly were going haywire there too.
Cathy: are you still working and having fun in NY?
It's a hard time of year isn't it? Flu shot campaign at work...have to grit my teeth! Of course, I'm the one known at the hospital "as the one who got sick" so I am getting all the questions. The bosses seem to avoid me too, probably worried that I will make a fuss. I don't bother getting into it too much, but tell people to research the pro and con sides of vaccines and that there are more risks than just "arm pain and a slight fever". How conned the public is huh?
I am also taking a ton of vitamins, magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B complex, vitamin E... maybe it's working maybe not, but certainly can't hurt... Strangley enough I remember towards the beginning (about a month or two into this whole ordeal) I was eating several bowls of Total cereal with milk each day... and for a few days I though this monster has gone away.... then it came back with a vengence. (it's like every time I make progess this monster comes back and says "I'll show you to try to get rid of me!")
Anyways I came to post on a very strange symptom I had last night... my heart muscle was spasming, pretty rapidly in the middle of the night (for about 5-10 minutes) it actually woke me up, my whole pulse was going haywire... has anyone else had this happen yet?
Michelle: did you look up Dr. Blaylock? He recommends a cold pack on the injection site as well as other recommendations to tone down the vaccine reaction. One of the more believable theories for what happened to us is "over-reaction" of our immune system.
Carmen: I tried bootcamp when I was healthier, and it did me in then! We endured a major assault on our bodies so it makes sense that it would take a long time to heal. I just read an article about a fitness trainer who had prostate surgery and he said it's been a year and a half later and he still can't train and exercise like he used to. So don't get down on yourself if you feel that normal should happen for you within a year or two.
A bit off topic: but I just read that we would have to drink 10 glasses milk daily to meet preventative (to help ward off cancer, MS, flu, colds, etc.) daily Vit D levels. I'll continue with the Vit D drops instead thank you. Just thought I would mention this since a friend told me she drank milk to get her Vit D. but I doubt she's drinking 10 glasses!
Take Care,

Yes, my muscles have a mind of their own. I mostly have twitching in my legs but I also get them above my eye and on the side of my head just kinda all over it just depends on the day. In the beginning I had them all over and alot more pronounced. Now they are lighter feeling but still there along with the tingling.
Robbo: You are not kidding when you say we are all on our own!! I have felt that way since the start when the doctors have looked at me like I am crazy when I tell them what I am experiencing. I am just so glad I found this website so I don't feel so alone and scared.
Take care everyone, Julie
