I think that it's probable that my 25D is approaching the 12ng/ml level or has reached it as it was 18.4 when I first started the D reduced diet.
My character of my herx is changing. I am feeling pain in the nerve that runs down the back of my right leg and terminates in the area of the Bakers Cyst on the back of my knee.
The Bakers Cyst is receding and I am quite optomistic about the new changes including the bleeding which I think is a result of inflammation of the nerves in that area.
The common denominator in my new symptoms seems to be that the nerves are being affected.
I am certain this is as expected and in fact good news.

Hi Mark,
Good to know you are seeing these changes. Can you please describe the bleeding? I assume it is tolerable, has stopped bleeding or is intermittent.
Jeannine

MP 57 days
Hi Jeannine
I am experiencing small amounts of bright red blood after defacation. The source appears to be the rectum or anus. There is minimal amount of irritation in this area and the blood is only visible after defacation. Stools appear somewhat thin, loose and are not maroon in color. No clots are visible and no structural abnormalities are evident.
I am attributing the bleeding to normal activation of the immune system causing inflammation within the tissues where the activation occurs.
Thanks Jeannine
Mark
Thanks for the clarification. Noted.

April: Started Phase 2
MP 61 days
This protocol is going quite well. Everything as expected with no surprises. I am getting better. I have excellant support from my Doctor. Feeling very optomistic, fortunate and gratefull.
MP 75 days
Comments: This seems to be the pattern - I experience some increase in IP followed by an improvement afterwards. I think most of the healing right now is happening in my ear, jaw, brain,eyes and nerves.
The affect on my imaging systems is profound to say the least. Color, clarity, resolution, peripheral vision, focus are all greatly improved
The sockets where my wisdom teeth were extracted have all re-healed themselves although my dentist had told me that they were fine I knew something just wasn't right.
I have reached a point where I actually look forward to the antibiotics, stabbing pains or an increase in IP because this is always followed by an improvement particularly in brain function.
I think I started the MP at the exact moment that I fell off the cliff so to speak. That makes me a very lucky person.
Previously I could see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I am feeling a bit of the warmth from that light as it get's closer. This is very nice.
MP 89 days
Comments:
I have just switched from taking compounded Olmesartan purchased from The Glebe Pharmacy in Ottawa to to the Montreal product.
There is an obvious difference. I experienced full body rushes, insomnia, fatigue, tinnitus, vertigo and general feelings of hormonal readjustment about an hour after taking the Montreal Olmesartan and this continues.
I'm not really sure what to think about this. I feel worse but my eyelids are slightly less red. 
Inflammation in the ear and fatigue has increased.
Parathesia has decreased.
The progress I am making is contrasted with an increased awareness that I am much sicker than I realized particularly in the neurological realm. 
I seem to have a better perspective on certain negative elements of my personality specifically; Intolerance, Opinionated, Anger, Obsessive.
I seem to be relating to people in my life in a much more gentler and caring manner this week but I have still needlessly pissed off a couple of people in a couple of incidents where I was trying to enforce my version of reality in a confrontational manner. 
I will have to re-learn how to express myself in a more appropriate, less confrontational, constructive manner.
I am experiencing some noticeable improvements as a musician including; increased coordination, timing, increased complexity in composing, heightened awareness of tonal relationships on the fretboard, increased accuracy and speed in finger picking.
I have been successful this week at integrating a percussive tapping technique into my playing style that involves some very precise timing. This is a huge breakthrough for me.
MP 96 days
Comments: Rolling along...  Lots of bacterial killing now in Phase 2. I stopped using Head and Shoulders with Pyrithione Zinc. I consider this an absolute miracle since I have had severe Sebborrheic Dermatitis for a long time and not using it has never been an option...until now. The oils from my skin are more waxy and less greasy now.
Lot's of healing sensations inside my ears and mastoid. Something good is going on in there.
MP 110 days
Comments: Things are going well. I'm getting more familiar with phase 2. Healing sensations have increased and IP is just about right.
MP 117 days
Continued improvement in symptoms. The larger dermafibromatic lesions on my shins and eyelid areas are noticeably softer and have decreased in size by about 20%.
There is the general feeling that the healing is slowly starting to gain some momentum particularly in my ears, skin, nerves and joints.
I am feeling much more relaxed. I am also more sociable and tolerant.
The occassional sharp electrical shock sensation that ran from my mastoid to my feet is gone. Paresthesia is quite different now. My arms and legs are not falling asleep anymore during sleep. Still a bit numb though.
Memory loss has increased. I am having trouble remembering the names of people that I know very well. This is contrasted by an increased ability to think in complex terms and solve problems.
I have not had swelling of the ankles or pain on the bottom of my feet in quite a while.
Panic attacks/Anxiety/Racing heart has decreased in severity by about 75%. My heart rate sometimes gets a bit higher but I don't get that rush of anxiety chemicals/Adrenalin so much anymore.
The frequency or pitch of the tinnitus is of a lower value and volume.
MP 124 days
Palliative meds: None
Light exposure: 2 hours per day covered with noirs.
Symptoms:
Brain Fog - 3
Fatigue - 5
Skin - 2
Tinnitus - 2
Light sensivity - 2
Red eyelids - 2
Memory Loss - 5
Swelling of Mastoid - 1.5
Joint Pain - 2
Twitching - 0
Irritability - 1.5
Vertigo - 3.5
Headaches - 1.5
paresthesia - 1
Abdominal Pain - 1.5
Malaise - 4
Comments:
I am experiencing a new kind of herx. Pain in the region of the descending colon and general belly button region. The left side of the abdomen just hurts. The lower frontal abdominal pain feels like an intense burning hunger. I have had this before when I was around 9 years old - It's a strange enough feeling that I can clearly remember the first time I experienced this on a camping trip 32 years ago. It would occur always in the morning after waking up. Now it is back and occurs off and on. This kind of herx was completely expected.
I have added abdominal pain and malaise to my symptoms list above. Malaise being defined as feeling "out of sorts" as compared to fatigue which is feeling tired.
Also - One of my stranger symptoms is completely gone - Every morning - literally seconds after coming out of sleep, either one or both of my calf muscles would flex and then contract and would not relax. Occasionally this would spread into the entire back of the leg. The pain was excruciating and would literally have me rolling on the floor in pain until the muscles relaxed. Occasionally I would have to massage the muscles to relax - this was done in a frenzy of pain rather than the usual relaxing kind of massage.
I've had that since I was a teenager and over the years I learned that the first thing to do upon waking was to consciencely make an effort to stop this from happening.
Some issues with sleep patterns being all over the map right now. My body still wants to be completely spent of energy before retiring. This is an established pattern with me. I'm not good at slow and steady. I have tended to accomplish tasks with a sort of "going into battle" mode - followed by burnout.
Swelling of the lymph nodes in throat greatly diminished.
Some weird neuropathy this week - I have never had a dyslexic incident until after cutting back the D foods. This doesn't happen very often - but a couple of times this week some letters were obviously reversed - but only for a moment.
My skin appears to be a couple of shades darker and I am developing a slight tan all over my body.
This is not only unusual because of my lack of sun exposure but because I have had intense extended periods of sun exposure in the past and was always white as a ghost regardless.
I am not as light sensitive anymore in the sense that light doesn't hurt my eyes as much anymore. I am sensitive in the sense that I am intensely aware of any sources of radiation. If a dim beam of light sneaks through the window blinds and hits my body I am instantly aware of it in a very physical way as if being touched.
Light still causes Neuro IP and headaches.
I always try to grow fingernails on my right hand longer to play the guitar. They would usually break before they would get as long as I liked. I couldn't break them now if I tried - and I have. Actually I find myself cutting them back all the time because they are growing so fast. There is nothing remotely brittle about my fingernails now.
I have not used Head and Shoulders for weeks now - I did not think this was possible before.
I can't remember the last time I had a twitch or tremor in my hands or face.
Dermafibromatic lesions continue to resolve slowly and steadily.
Tinnitus is now the occassional very dull roar - like listening to a seashell - only noticable before sleep when it is very quiet.
I can't find the Bakers cyst on back of my right knee anymore - It's hard to tell if it's completely gone because the knee joint is not swollen anymore. The cyst first appeared when I was 3 years old, was surgically removed and came back later.
Thank You MP Research Team!!
Mark

Mark, I, too, have not had any colds or flus ... since starting the MP just over 2 years ago. Ok, I did have a minor cold once but it lasted one day - unheard of for me before that - those darn things would always last for a week or three.
Nonetheless, I used to get colds/flus at least twice a year. Vastly improved even when in close contact with many others with them!
I guess the immune system is just working much better now...

Rico - Before the MP I would catch every single cold or flu that was going around.
And just like you said they would last for weeks. My innate immune system wasn't working. It just wasn't possible for the VDR to transcribe properly when my receptors were full of extraneous Vitamin D and bacterial ligands.
It seems to be working quite well now though.
Thanks Rico
Mark

MP 145 days
I am feeling very tired. My sleep pattern is reversed and I am experiencing lots of activity in the prefrontal cortex during sleep. My memory is increasingly photographic - If I can't remember something - I sometimes see it's picture instead although I may not know what it is.
I have a new strange symptom. As soon as my head hits the pillow - I start to salivate - a lot - I have to keep swallowing so that I don't start drooling. At the same time I start to cough up fluid from my lungs.
Peripheral neuropathy has increased and it is hard to hold my arms up for any length of time.
The lumps in my earlobes are completely gone.
Fluttering and spasming inside ears has gone from 7 to a 1.
Hot showers are making me feel better.
I am frequently ravenous - sometimes even after I have eaten. Appetite is excellant. I have stopped craving chocolate and am enjoying more fruit/vegetables.
Lesions on shins have started to itch somewhat - That is a first. They are still slowly shrinking.
I think malaise is the best way to describe how I am feeling now. I am motivated but can't do very much. Irritabiliy has gone to a 5 - I just can't deal very well with people right now.
I am monitoring neuro IP very carefully, taking it easy and avoiding stressfull situations.
My previous experience with the MP is telling me that I am now experiencing massive bacterial killing with all the associated IP.
MP 152 days
I am feeling optomistic and confident. Subcutaneous nodules are resolving rapidly. Fibrotic lesion on right shin has gone from 2 cm to 4 mm diameter.
MP 159 days
All kinds of IP happening everywhere!! - Symptoms are tolerable.
Lot's of activity in jaw, mastoid and back of skull.
Small round opaque lesions on back of hands are gone.
MP 180 days - 6 Months
Symptoms:
Brain Fog - 5
Fatigue - 5
Skin - 2
Tinnitus - 2.5
Light sensivity - 3.5
Red eyelids - 1.5
Memory Loss - 4
Swelling of Mastoid - 2.5
Joint Pain - 3
Twitching - 1.5
Irritability - 1.5
Vertigo - 4
Headaches - 1.5
paresthesia - 1
Abdominal Pain - 0.5
Malaise - 5
Comments: I am experiencing slow steady improvement everywhere. It is my observation that health problems that I wasn't aware of are being are brought to the surface or uncovered and then start to heal. I've still got a long ways to go but the progress is consistant.
I have a lot less to say about things these days. My perspective is different now and it feels as if I am seeing a lot of things for the first time and I am having to re-evaluate and re-learn.

Phase II Level 3
MP 187 days
Comments: More improvements this week. I am extremely confidant in the effectiveness of this treatment and I am feeling very determined.
MP 194 days
Comments: All is well.
MP 215 days
Comments: Another occurance of dermatitis associated with healing of troublesome joint. My big toe feels great - is releasing lots of nitrogen and the dermatitis is going away now.
I'm doing really good. I just wish I wasn't so tired all the time as I have lots of things I want to do. I walked about 4 miles the other day. It was fine.
I am gradually less light sensitive now.
215 days on the MP and everything is happening exactly as predicted by the MP.
Phase II Level 4
MP 229 days
Comments: I am experiencing an increase in IP as a result of the change to level 4.
All symptoms tolerable.
Phase III, Day 2
MP 243 days
Palliative meds: None
Light exposure: 2 hours per day covered with noirs.
Symptoms:
Brain Fog - 3.5
Fatigue - 6
Skin - 2
Tinnitus - 2
Light sensivity - 3
Red eyelids - 2
Memory Loss - 3.5
Swelling of Mastoid - 2.5
Joint Pain - 2.5
Twitching - 1.5
Irritability - 2
Vertigo - 3.5
Headaches - 1
paresthesia - 3
Abdominal Pain - 3
Malaise - 3
Phase III, Day 9
MP 250 days
Comments: Symptoms tolerable.
ABX seem to be affecting Urinary tract, prostate, neuro. Skin continues to improve. Subtle light sensitivity changes (Overall less sensitive - sometimes the room suddenly seems brighter). Generally I'm in a bit of a daze - but it is tolerable and I am as motivated and confidant with the treatment as ever. Creativity is way down right now but it comes and goes anyways - instead - I am reading about 8 hours a day.
I have found the best way to measure my neuroherx is "texas hold em poker". Not very scientific but the game seems to expose any problem areas in regards to memory/appropriate decision making/emotional response/patience/creativity/Math.
Phase III, Day 16
MP 257 days
Comments: All kinds of subtle skin changes on upper chest region and armpits. Recurrent Sebacious Cyst on left side of face has ceased production of sebum and is barely detectable. Crawling under the skin sensation on shins. Increase in floaters. Some sensation of fluid running down back of head. Increased pain in large joints. Some feelings of confusion.
Irritability is down to a 1.  Malaise is up to 7.5
Phase III ABX resulting in increased herx, neuropathy and parethesia which is exactly what I expected and all symptoms are tolerable.
I'm getting the impression the bugs really aren't enjoying the abx combo.
Phase III, Day 23
MP 264 days
Comments: Massive IP on Days 8-10 of ABX cycle. Lot's of hot/cold sweats, trembling, twitching, poor appetite, confusion, blurred vision, sore back and neck, burning sensation in tissues, intoxicated feeling. I am pleased about this although it's not so much fun.
Fibrotic Lesions on shins resolving more rapidly. These only got larger pre-MP. Brain function reminiscent of start of phase 2 with confusion and memory loss contrasted by increase in analytical function and reasoning (poker stack has gone from $5 to $25 in 1 week).
Lots of pain in Mastoid,ear canal and back of skull area contrasted by healing sensations drainage and decrease in swelling of surrounding tissues.
I can only find two of the small (rasberry colored 2-4mm ) sarc lesions. There used to be a lot more.
Sensation of hearing in stereo for first time yesterday.
If it is the intent of this protocol to provoke IP we are certainly succeeding.
Symptoms very uncomfortable but tolerable.
Thank You M.P. Research Team
Mark

Phase III, Day 30
MP 271 days
I am getting the impression that the hearing issues are more of a hormonal problem than I suspected.
Cold sweats and parasthesia are subsiding which means it might be time to increase again.
I am generally more organized now although still easily confused.
My whole body seems to vibrate - usually around 9pm-12am. At first I thought the furnace was broken - but no - it's me.
The IP is now affecting my entire body and there is the distinct sensation of healing everywhere.
Prostate and Urinary tract are affected by every ABX increase.
Involuntary emotional expression greatly reduced.
Frontotemporal dementia - Is a painful thing to realize for any number of reasons- I am at least aware of this now which is an improvement in itself.
I look healthier
Symptoms very uncomfortable but tolerable. I am pleased with my progress.
Phase III, Day 37
MP 278 days
Comments: Continued hearing improvements. Skin is healing more rapidly again. Dermatitis is almost always associated with healing in that area. Very consistant.
Resolution of signs is directly proportional to IP symptoms - very obvious pattern.
Sleep patterns starting to normalize. I have felt more rapid hormonal improvements since starting phase 3. Now that I understand the hormonal relationship to symptoms it makes me that much more confidant in my chances at complete symptom resolution.
I walked 3 miles yesterday with no pain in my knees. That is a first.
I am doing a much better job at taking care of myself this week.
Plan: IP has diminshed somewhat so I guess it's time to ramp again.
Thank You M.P. Research Team

Odette, Mark
I vibrate horribly due to lots of nerve involvment. I can hardly be on my feet without serious reprecussions now. It's so depressing. I gimp from bed to chair and have no ability to exercise anymore, let along stand on my feet.. I used to exercise daily and now i'm completed "benched"
I tried a new pair of orthodics the other day believing the increased cushion(suited for diabetics) would spread the pressure points out better (which in theory it should) and OMGosh my nerves went crazy. I was upright in them for about 30 minutes doing a backload of dishes...when i finally gave it up and liteally collasped. My nerves started "spasming" so severely that they were contracting in my face making me grimace in ways that were very unattractive and uncontrollable. It finally subsided after rest and nuertoin med.
This was the worst reaction I've had but I've had lots of situations like this happen that is why I have redined my limits now to nil activity.
Very freaky.
Thanks for letting me share I sometimes can't grasp the enormity of this illness.
We just had family here and who can understand this when even I can't. The holidays bring everything mentally/emotionally to a horrific reality.
Soldiering on,
sue

Sue,
I can't even imagine the intensity of your reaction. Or, well, maybe I can. My experience with that sort of whole body vibrational involvement has been transitory, tangential. I cannot imagine what it would be to have it descend upon me in any solid, semi-permanent way. This experience for me has lasted, max 2 hours.
Hang in there. I think it's a good sign that your family has members "who can understand this when even I can't". Let them help you through this.
All best wishes,
Odette

Sue, if the Neurontin is palliative when you take it, it might also tend to exacerbate the symptoms as its concentration drops in your body, between doses. This drug was initially developed for epilepsy, and you might talk with Doc about possible side effects on muscle control
Have you had your 25-D measured recently? When that drops through the 20 ng/ml region your immune system may become less stable.

Phase III, Day 44
MP 285 days
IP increased after raising phase III antibiotics and then decreased. I am near the end of this cycle and things are tolerable so I will increase.
The neuro IP can be frustrating at times as it seems to create an over dramatization affect on cognition and the way information is processed. Things seem like a "Big Deal" when they probably shouldn't be and I come up with all kinds of "wild theories" about things.
I am much more aware of this which tells me that cognition is improving.
As the dosage of phase III antibiotics rises it causes increased IP - but there is also a comforting affect - as I can feel it working at much deeper levels now and I know the bugs are getting worked over really good.
I have the general feeling that I have reached some point in the healing process in which the worst part has been passed. We shall see.
This treatment is working incredibly well right now.
Thank You M.P. Research Team
Mark

Phase III, Day 205
MP 445 days
Palliative meds: None
Light exposure: 5 hours per day covered with noirs/bolle, Knochen's sunscreen, leather hats, turbans.
Symptoms: significant only
Total Herx - 3.70/10 - General Systemic IP
Comments: I have lowered all ABX to decrease IP as it is almost summer here now and I must be outside to survive. Still herxing with greatly reduced light sensitivity.
I am not in remission. The disease process has not been slowed or stopped. In fact the disease process has been reversed and I am being cured. The improvements are so profound that I am hesitant to list them as I am completely flabberfasted at how sick I was and didn't even realize the extent of it all.
Thank You MP Research Team
Mark

Yup. And the strange thing is, your mind hasn't really even begun to comprehend where your recovery will end up. That will take another few years of incremental 'perfection.'

Phase III, Day 226
MP 466 days
Palliative meds: None
Light exposure: 6 hours per day covered with noirs/bolle, Knochen's sunscreen, leather hats, turbans,scarves.
Symptoms: significant only
Total Herx - 3/10 - General Systemic IP
Comments: I am really doing well. I slept well last night. Lots of colorful lights in my eyes while sleeping. Very nice. I got up motivated and ready to go. Spent the whole day outside with minimal problems. Irritibility is extremely low. Energy is good. I am very sociable today. I am totally optomistic about the future.
Still herxing - mostly at night with lots of sweating. Brain fog is greatly reduced.
Last year at this time I was unable to go outside without total coverage. Now I am out with long sleeve shirt, hat and a scarf for my neck. Much cooler this way.
Got my garden planted and have laundry hanging on the line. I have been outside a lot.
I added a gram of Titanium to the Zinc sunscreen and it seems to completely stop the radiation completely. No fear of the sun with it on at all. Thank You Knochen!!
Plan: So far so good. Keep Going.
Thank You MP Research Team
