Comments: FYI-- Things I have noticed since starting MP:
1. Nails have hardened
2. old age spots have cleared from hands and gotten lighter on face
3. skin on side of big toes no longer needs filing on a weekly basis--can go over a month before it needs filing down even a little--heels no longer look dry and cracked
4. skin looks younger and no longer has the dry "allergy" bumps on arms and legs. Amazing!
Thanks,
Nell

I am seeing changes from when I first started treatment 4 months ago. I know I have a ways to go, but with how I am more motivated now then I was before and how my NRG level has slowly gotten a little more I feel with the months to come I will see even more positive signs.
I'm getting bored and bake a lot and compared to my start I can stand at the oven for hours and do baking....my family notices things I don't realize.
Currently I am trying to see if there is anything I can do for part time nursing work in the fall as I feel I need to do something...I'm also looking into courses online to become a NP...which I want to start next year part time...I feel motivated again...it's strange... 
Thanks for all your input!!!
Have a great day...!
Mel

Light: Excessive Light exposure. 3 / 7 hour days in a car. Always covered w/ appropriate strength NoIRs. - continually driving or visiting with relatives.
We arrived home late last night. It was a wonderful trip. I'm so glad I decided to go. Coping with the MP was fine.
While I normally wear shorts and sleeveless shirts in the summer, wearing pants and long sleeves was much less of a nuisance than I expected. Most places are over-airconditioned and while I "stuck out" a bit, I was comfortable.
The bonus is a boost in confidence in resuming life-activities while on MP.
-For example, I was able to walk a 1 1/2 miles on a level track while on vacation. At times, in April, I could'n't walk half a block.
-When I am not herxing, I have much more energy.
-My sense of smell is coming back. After this sense being so limited for many years, I am amazed at times by how many good and bad smells I have missed. I look forward to more improvement in this area.
My 9 year old boys recognize scents before I do because I don't have the "background"
September 2008:
The end of Phase I was incredible. I totally enjoyed the low level of light sensitivity and no pain. Amazing! My stamina is better. I have less fatigue. I'm able to walk about 2 miles after sunset almost nightly. I started phase II last night. It's time to move on toward recovery. The effects of phase 2 are now starting to eke in.

There's a new interview with Gene Johnson on Bacteriality. His story is an interesting one because while he started the MP for sarcoidosis, he ended up using it to treat his bladder cancer as well. I think his story is a must read for anyone with cancer, in no small part because (as Gene realized) some of the drugs used to treat cancer actually have negative effects on the immune system.
Gene's sarcoidosis symptoms have diminished substantially and he has been cancer free for over a year.

Gene: numerous improvements

Reporting my health improvements with the MP....
-Allergies/sensitivies - were severe with Rx's; now - no meds and mostly resolved.
-Sciatic and foot pains - much less in pain level, frequency, duration. Looking forward to when other pains resolve.
-RLS - muscle spasms in all extremities has decreased.
-Brain fog, memory loss - mental clarity improvement , though finding the right words is still a challenge many days - anticipate improvement
-Dizzyness and disequilibrium - mostly improved.
-Frequency/urgency - urinary, mostly resolved
-Migraines - mostly resolved
-Daily functioning - increased as a whole, though with 20 + years of illness, won't be near to fully funtioning for awhile longer, naturally.
Surely missing something, I'll post additions as they come to mind.
Many thanks to the awesome MP site moderators... bless you all for your expertise, patience and hard work

In July I noticed that my fingernails, which have been weak and splitting, are now long and strong, like they used to be!
You know, as a scientist, I am trained to speak only in degrees, never in absolutes. We make statements like: "There is evidence to suggest that..." and "When compared with the first group, it appears that the second group..." We never make definitive statements, and we never say we know something to be true.
I think this has something to do with my reluctance to admit that I am getting better on the MP. That, and a superstitious fear of somehow jinxing the outcome, which is very unscientific.
As is true for many people, I suspect, my illness has been so variable for so long - both in the type and severity of symptoms, that it has been impossible to know if fluctuations in how I feel were related to the MP.
But I think I am getting better. There is evidence to suggest that I am getting better.
1. I have very few days during which I am unable to get out of bed. In fact, I can't remember the last one. Pre-MP, there would be several each month, at least.
2. I am only rarely taking additional, prn pain medication (5mg oxycodone) although I am still on a fentenyl patch, whereas I used to pop them throughout the day, every day.
3. My illness has not progressed in three years.
3. I am making plans - a week or two in advance - to get together with friends, which I have avoided in the past because I never knew how I was going to feel.
4. I am writing an MP post with some perspective, a sense of the "big picture" or an overview of my experience, rather than being aware only of how I am doing right now, today. As someone with brain fog put it, "my world extends only to the end of my nose."
Happy three-and-a-half year MP anniversary to me!
And thanks to everyone who is working to make this hugely important scientific experiment possible. The gift of health - priceless.
Best to all,
Eleanor
Sept 2008:
I am continuing to do well. I still have marked brain fog at times. I have decreased my prn doses of oxycodone, which at one time averaged 5 a day, are now down to one or less, on average.
I have gained a few pounds (a good thing for me) and my hair and nails are in better condition than they have been for a long time. I have also noticed evidence of hormonal changes in a positive direction (I went through early menopause eight years ago).
I am still light sensitive. In my early posts I often commented on/puzzled over my lack of light sensitivity, and for me it seemed to kick in only after two years on the MP.

I am doing well mentally and emotionally. My energy level is good on most days except middle days of cycle and even then just mostly sleepy. I am working full time at sales during the day and Chiropractic in the late afternoon early evenings. I am golfing 2 times a week, dancing 2 times a week, working out 3 times a week. Life is great when you are not depressed and fatigued.
Thanks for the help in getting to this point.
Mike
October 2008:
Comment: Still getting pretty good IP after taking all three. I'm still staying active dancing, playing golf, singing and playing keyboard and of course working in sales. I get more rest than usual when on days 2-4. Ibuprofin 600-800mg works pretty well to make me fill better and allow me to stay active.
December 2008:
Been able to work. Just moved into a new home. Still dancing and playing golf and music so doing very well. I hope to continue progressing.
January 2009:
I have taken the last 2 weeks off for the Holidays from taking antibiotics. I am going to take a full PH3 dose again this Monday to carry on. I have felt well but I think my VitD levels have lowered under 20 because the last few doses have been pretty strong. I'll see how this round goes. Still golfing and dancing and having as much fun as possible. The new job has gone well. Hope everyone has a healthier, happier New Year.
September 2009:
HI all,
Doing pretty well. Still mild to moderate IP but getting better with time. Mouth sores have stopped. Ear wax has lessened. Still have days of fatigue, some social phobia, depression but much better than I've experienced during the depressive cycles before starting the MP. The hypo mania stage has not appeared for the most part so overall the protocol is working on both sides of the bipolar. The CFS and Fibromyalgia symptoms are lessening but still need to take Ibuprofen once a day on most days sometimes twice but some days skip all together. Compared to spending 5-10 months in bed curled up in a fetal position, isolating and wanting to be dead and not functioning, I am very pleased with the progress I've made on the protocol.
I am able to work, play golf 1-2 times weekly, go dancing 2-3/week. play with the grand kids and have a active life style its great. My girlfriend loves me being fairly level, especially not missing the hypo mania symptoms of grandiosity, irritability, demanding attitude, scattered thinking and impulsiveness.
I on the other hand having lived on the extremes of severe depression and hypo mania am having to get used to being more average and calm. I miss the fearlessness, creativity and abounding energy of the hypo mania but don't miss the frenetic pace of the thought patterns, the destroyed relationships and definitely don't miss the severe depressions.
I am cautiously optimistic that my condition will continue to improve over the next couple of years. I really appreciate this protocol, it has been a God send for me as I tried so many things to find a solution. I am grateful that I was lucky enough to live at a time where this protocol was available and the Internet was available to find it and that I was a chiropractor trained in looking for the underlying cause and not of the mindset of just settling for masking or controlling the symptoms. I appreciate Dr Marshall's mindset of working for curative solutions not just palliative measures. Having tried the psychotropic medications with the unwanted side affects I'm grateful to be on the road to recovery.
What saddens me is all the other people who have similar health conditions that have not had the opportunity given to them to investigate this protocol. I hope to help in someway to help those I come in contact with by sharing my experience, strength and hope. God Bless all of you trying to find a better life for yourself on this protocol and all of you who share your time and experience to help others.
Mike
