I have been posting about my miraculous improvements on the BEMER thread BUT... I have been suffering from something new.
About a month ago I woke up in the middle of the night with congestion in the back of my sinus' and throat. My nose was not stuffed at all. As the days passed my eyes burned and I felt like I was coming down with a cold but it was all behind my sinus'. It was different than anything I had ever dealt with before.
In all these years I have been sick, I have not been aware of true sinus issues but when I got sick at 15, I had severe conjunctivitis along with face and head pressure and pain. Over the years I have had pain in my face but no signs of allergies or stuffed up nose or anything. I always know when I am going to have a bad day because my eyes are full of gunk in the morning and stay very red and watery. There is alot of aching and pressure behind my eyes as well.
Okay, back to present time... I was running a fever when this congestion thing started and because I have a low WBC count (last test 2 months ago was 2.6) they put me on antibiotics. I have now been through 3 rounds of antibiotics and have a day where I am all better and then it comes back off and on. The good and bad days dont seem to coincide with when I am on or off the antibiotics or how far along in a course I am. As far the abx killing Lyme or Mycoplasma, I have been there and done that with no die off or benefit in the past.
SO, the doctor decided to take my WBC count again because we were becoming concerned that my body was not fighting off a sinus infection. My white count is now 4.7. (almost doubled) Not high, but not immune compromised anymore. My Neutrophils said "alert" on my last labs at 1.0. They are now 2.5.
I still feel way better in general, but like I have the worlds worst cold. I know my immune system is functioning better. (I was a doctor visit away from a bone marrow biopsy before..so that is GOOD news) I have the fantastic days I have mentioned, but then this cold, sinus thing comes back out of the blue.
I take VERY good care of myself. I do a ton of detox baths, etc. I take all the right immune support etc.
Another interesting, yet way too much info thing, I think that is worth mentioning... I have no body odor what so ever now. Not that I was SO SMELLY before. I live in Florida and it is hot and humid and you cant help but sweat alot. I would have to wear deodorant like most people before. I can go and sweat like crazy and there is just no smell at all. I figure that has to be a good sign.
So now, after racking my brain trying to figure out WTH is going on... now I am kind of wondering if it might be a detox? Maybe I HAVE had junk in my sinus' and head all this time and it is trying to get out??? Any thoughts???
