I have just hit the one year mark on the MP! On this day last year I started taking Benicar to do a therapeutic probe. I was astonished at the changes that started to take place. After taking Benicar for only a couple of days, I started to experience deep, refreshing sleep. This was wonderful since I had struggled with insomnia for a few years. Also, after two weeks on Benicar I had not had even one migraine headache. This was wonderful to me since I had battled chronic migraine headaches for at least 30 years. I was convinced that the MP was for me.
My MP journey to date has been nothing short of amazing. I started out with many health problems which I had considered to be separate issues. I had always addressed each problem with an appropriate treatment. However, I had so many problems it was hard to deal with them all and I wasn't ever able to actually get anything resolved. How wonderful it was to learn, after being on the MP for a while, that practically all of my health issues were being addressed because the underlying problem was inflammation due to the presence of CWD bacteria.
The MP, over the course of a year, has targeted just about every health issue I have been dealing with and even health issues which I had dealt with in the past that seemed to have left a population of CWD bacteria behind (areas of old injuries and illnesses). I have experienced almost continual immunopathology symptoms, some mild, some quite intense and frightening.
Areas if improvement include:
No headaches of any kind (migraine, tension or sinus). If I feel headachy, extra Benicar melts it away within moments.
Better digestion and bowel function
Symptoms of hypoglycemia: gone for the most part
Muscle pain and achiness greatly reduced. Extra Benicar helps with this symptom also.
Improvement in long-standing inflammation in the left TMJ/ear area. Have a ways to go before it is resolved but I am definitely making progress.
Heart symptoms (rapid and sometimes irregular heartbeats, pain) occur only very occassionally at this time.
Kidney pain - only occassionally and very mild
Dental pain much reduced, especially the area where a molar was extracted years ago. It used to ache off and on but now there is no pain at all.
Joints in fingers don't ache very much any more.
Energy level has increased. This is more noticeable at the end of an antibiotic cycle when herxing decreases for me.
These are some some obvious improvements but I am experiencing consistent herxing and so I know that many more good things are in the works. I will be entering Phase 3 in a couple of days and I am looking forward to killing lots more bugs with the "big guns".
With PERSISTENCE and PATIENCE the MP can work miracles!
Congrats Adrianne on all the positive changes that your first year on the MP has brought! And thanks for being the supportive person that you are! Claire
