Hiya all,

Thanks so much for all your help n advice from my previous post. I moved the date to start si to May 1st n even though it is only day 8 I have already noticed a small difference. So far the injections into the tummy aren't so bad in fact they don't sting like the ones nurses used to stab into my arm lol! I can tell they have repaired the nerve damage in my spine as I have lost over half of the nerve damage pain I used to suffer there. This in only 8 days is amazing! Yes I am suffering with loss of appetite, tummy pain, headaches n nausea etc. I even can feel my body healing as it gets this odd symptom of every touch being glass shards. It was on my spine before n has now moved onto my arms. However I am looking at the good things. If regular injecting helps my fibro pain/neurological issues I will share with others suffering πŸ™‚ I feel positive that these injections are going to really help me. I've been virtually housebound since 2012 n yesterday I wept πŸ₯², they were happy tears though. I've finally found that magic wand that the specialists n doctors said they couldn't wave to cure me πŸͺ„So I'm so thankful to u all n that I took the plunge n started to si. I am more than happy to go through the reversing out if I am going to get better. Thanks again πŸ€—πŸ™‚

Brilliant news SlothMode! Give your tummy a treat and take some probiotic foods like real yoghurt , kefir etc. PA means that you have low/no stomach acid . Achlorhydria / Hypochondria Probiotics help your gut flora . Have an acidic drink with protein meals Have small meals more often . Don’t forget to take a modest folic acid tablet daily ( say400 mcgβ€” it works with B112?)Wishing you the best .

You very kindly didn’t make fun of my spelling mistake β€”β€” HYPOCHONDRIA instead of HYPOCHLORHYDRIA! Mind you , so many of us have more or less been accused of Hypochondria when we had Hypochlorhydria ! πŸ˜‚

Well done! It's great to have some control over your own health, and to feel things improving after such a short time. Long may you continue to get better!

Oh SlothMode,

That is wonderful to read. Little tears welled in my eyes when I read you have been practically housebound for 12 years. No wonder you cried.

Sending a very big but gentle hug.
