If anyone remembers any of my posts, I have been on a food allergy shot for almost 3 years. A shot from Europe that costs $300 a month. Well, this last one that I had has caused me to come undone. It was 2 weeks ago and I have not slept since the shot. For so long, this shot has helped me with eating food, not having an allergy to foods and getting rid of the listlessness and depression I had from leaky gut syndrome. I had a major rash all over my legs before the shot and now, I don't have it anymore.
When I told my doc yesterday that I have been wired and sick since the last shot he said, "Let's stop it." This to me was worse that being told I had cancer and was going to die. To live the way I did before the shot...I don't think I could go back. I was allergic to everything. Everything.
The appointment was cut short and he had to take an emergency phone call. He recommended that I go on this new supplement called "Entero Win" for leaky gut syndrome. Well, I took it last night and I feel like I am been plugged into an outlet. I am so sick. $45.00 later and 5 pills taken and I am dying. I am sweating and freezing and I feel awful. I have been in bed for 24 hours with not one moment of sleep. Not even one.
I emailed my doctor last night telling him how upset I am that he wants me to stop the shots. He acted so flippant like it's nothing for me to stop them. He has no idea how they have changed my life.
What am I so upset about aside from the fact that I am so insanely sick? Everything. I am angry that after 13 years of seeing me, he doesn't have it written down or documented how much they have helped. I am angry that every time I come in, he is selling me supplements. I am on disability and I am not made of money. I am angry that I am supposed to go away on vacation in 2 weeks but may have to cancel it now. I can't even think straight and I was going to travel alone to Punta Cana.
I am angry because he confessed today that the dosage of the shot can be lowered. And...you are just telling me this now after I ask you????? Why didn't you tell me that yesterday? WTF?
I am a mess and it reminds me of Flower for Algernon. How one day you can feel good for a spell. You are getting things done and how the next, you can be on death's door. I blame my physician partially for this. For not listening, for not taking the time to really think and to not truly follow just what is going on with me because his mind is already onto the next patient since he is overbooked.
I am done with supplements. Is anyone else feeling this way? Do you feel tired of supplements being thrown at you? Thousands and thousands of dollars spent on more crap that doesn't do anything, or makes you sicker. I have the MTHF mutation...a methylation gene missing. Great. Do I want to treat it? No. To see if I get even sicker? No thanks.
I read what someone wrote earlier on another board about staying away from doctor's. Honestly, I want to do that. I know more than they do and I am sick of being the better doctor. I have had leaky gut syndrome forever and there is no end to it.
