Monday 1/28 Ugh... I woke up feeling a little tired and congested, but I have a lot of work to do for a presentation.
Tuesday 3/1 I am soooo exhausted!! I definitely have a sinus infection... I won't do into the disgusting details. I made soup and sipped it all day. I had to work, but by the evening I was totally wiped out, my brain was all foggy and I felt miserable. I spent the entire evening on the couch, taking vitamins and trying to converse with my daughter. I usually reserve the evening times to play with her, but I was so wiped out. Unfortunately, my husband was not around and couldn't help with dinner and her homework. I did my best and then took turns watching movies with her and reading to her. I feel like such an awful mother at times like this: I realize I have been sick for most of her life. I want to be healthy so I can play with her like she asks me to.
Wednesday 3/2 Decided to take the day off of work to try to recover. I really don't want to have to go on antibiotics again. That is part of the reason my health went south in the first place (the candida overgrowth, leaky gut, food allergies, etc etc). Went to see Dr. Buscher and he provided some glutathione (amino acids that help the immune system), stuff to support my liver during the detox, and tons of probiotics to help me get rid of the infection naturally. I've been resting on the couch, and today is definitely going better than yesterday, so I have hope. If I get over this without antibiotics, it will be the first time EVER for me.
Marc went to our general practitioner, and she said he had the worst sinus/ear infection she'd ever seen, and gave him antibiotics. He's been sick for the last few weeks, so it's no surprise that it is so bad. When I talked with Dr Buscher, I told him about wanting to get my daughter and Marc out of the antibiotic cycle as well, someday, after I've gotten my own health under control. He agreed it's good to focus on one thing at a time. I'd just like to have everyone in this house be healthy at the same time at least once this year!!!!
