I have had some interesting things happen since I last posted here....


First of all, I have gotten every little bug under the sun....a couple of different things a week. I am waiting for my probiotics to come, and I am hoping that this will make a huge difference for my poor immune system! I haven't rebuilt it, since I did the antibiotics. It often seems like it's the little things that bring you down.


However, in between being sick, I am most definitely getting stronger! I was able to get out to church yesterday, and today, I am not sore! I usually am pretty weak after I have gotten out, but I am doing fine....maybe a little wimpier, but I haven't had any trouble walking, or anything...no stiffness, either! I am pleased to be able to do some little things, without thought: walk outside and take a picture of the mountains; clear a few things off of the table; get something instead of ask someone else to get it; do plenty of laundry.


I have been doing Rife about 1x a week, even though I had thought I would do it more..it's just how it's worked out. It's a little tricky, having so many bugs...I don't want to overdo it. I had a different experience, last time....I decided to do a lower setting, and found a lovely "detox" program at the end. The following day, I didn't herx much at all. I wasn't stiff, as I usually am (normally I feel like I have worked out hard at the gym). I did pretty well! I resolved to do this detox setting again. Also, why not start at a lower setting, and do more frequently?


On Saturday, 3/29, my cold was much worse. I had had it brewing the day before, but this was much worse...a sinus migraine starting, and general yucky feeling. Since I really wanted to get out on Sunday, and I really didn't see how I was going to feel better in time, I decided to flip through my Rife manual and see what there was for a cold. Well, I picked the right one! I was concerned about herx, and rightly so...but what happened was that I started feeling sick right away (this is typical, with me)....so instead of just having a headache and cold, I felt rather miserable, achy, and had an upset stomach. I drank lots of water. The herx and cold lasted for a couple of hours or so, and then I started to get better! By Sunday morning, that cold was mostly over, and today (Monday)...nothing at all. This is the type of cold that I would have expected to last a week or more. It would seem that the Rife made the cold fast forward...the normal detox of a cold had to happen faster...but I was thrilled to be able to make it out--and very happy to be feeling better, too, of course.:)
