First Day after the First Treatment

Last night, I felt a bit of soreness in my arms and legs, which are unusual for me. It is not quite the common muscle sore, but rather the deeper type that feels a bit achy as well.  It is similar to the type of soreness one gets during a fever.  Perhaps this is a good sign that my immune system is responding to the Bionic treatment that I received, despite the low power.  

At this point however, I don't want to read too much into it and attribute everything to the Bionic until I'm absolutely sure.  

I took a hot epsom salt bath and went to bed afterwards. The soreness is gone this morning, but my brain fog is at "medium-heavy" upon getting up.  It is not out of the ordinary, but definitely worse than what I have been getting in the past week or so.  Again, I don't know if it could be attributed to the Bionic.

I should step up the power level of the Bionic in my next treatment.  I much rather feel really crappy but knowing that it is induced by the Bionic treatment, than guessing and thinking that the Bionic might not work and that it might just be another bad day.  Not knowing whether a treatment is working is one of the worse stresses that we face with this dreaded disease, so knowing it would keep my spirits up despite the physical agony involved.
