Second day after the second treatment

I am definitely feeling better this morning upon getting up, compared to yesterday.  I truly can't say if I was having a herx from the Bionic treatment yesterday, but the brain fog and mental debilitation was definitely notable.  I guess I will see if the pattern repeats after my 3rd Bionic session before drawing any conclusion.

Today, my mental clarity is better (compared to yesterday), though it is still within the range of my usual symptom level prior to the treatment, so I can't say I am improving from the Bionic treatment either.  

And since I haven't been knocked off my feet yesterday by any means, I would like to push ahead with another Bionic session tomorrow.  

By the way, I have sent in my saliva sample to Allergie-Immun for their testing and prescription of the special drops.  The sample should arrive at AI's door in about a week or two.  I'll keep you posted on that front as well.

I think it might be the herx...

Half way into the day, I think the heavy brain fog today is likely an indication that the Bionic treatment is up to something.  No crying spell or anything like that yet as warned by Lady X, but the heavy brain fog is unusual.  Normally I could sit in front of my computer throughout most of my days, but today I found that it is necessary to get away from it because my brain just couldn't quite take it.  

So I hope this is truly the effect of the Bionic treatment, but compared to the first treatment where the power level was only at 25%, I was definitely expecting more from the 100% power level treatment that I had yesterday.  I will continue to report how I feel in the hours and days to come.

Still not knocked out as I had hoped...

Upon getting up this morning, I felt my usual tireness and brain fog, though it is nothing out of the ordinary.  I am definitely fatigued, but then I couldn't tell if it has anything to do with the treatment, or just my usual symptoms manifesting themselves.  

I'm really hoping for a big whack over my head from the Bionic but I can't help but have doubts whether it will come, since I am so used to seeing treatments fail to yield any results.  The thought of the Bionic not working for me is very depressing, more so than any emotional herx could induce.

I started to wonder if it is because of the way I taped the nosodes to my body, which might not be the ideal setup because of the bigger vials that I had to use.  Lady X ordered some smaller and skinnier clear vials from eBay and is going to let me have some of them when they arrive, so I hope that would eliminate the uncertainty on that end.  But then, what if there is no result even after using those vials?  It is a depressing thought to say the least...

My 2nd Bionic 880 Treatment

I had my 2nd Bionic 880 treatment today.  This time, I increased the power level all the way to 100%, since I really wasn't sure if the bad day that I had after my first treatment was really due to the treatment itself.  As I said previously, I'd rather feel really crappy but knowing that the treatment is doing its job, than to wonder if I'm really on the right path.  

I did not feel anything out of the ordinary during the treatment today, despite the power level at 100%.  After the treatment, I was once again quite fatigued, but again I'm not sure if it's really due to the treatment itself.  After all, we lost one hour of sleep due to the change to daylight saving time.  

According to Lady X, I should be able to feel some effects from the treatment later this evening as well as tomorrow, so I'll brace myself and report if I get the sickening effects that I have been longing for (non-lymies might think I'm crazy).  Lady X is quite concerned that I might be getting hit too hard, as I am not getting the benefits of ozone and mineral IVs that Dr. Woitzel's patients usually have.  I guess I have yet to develop a true respect for the Bionic 880 machine since I haven't tasted its true power yet.  I hope this would change soon!  But then again, I could already hear many out there saying:  Be careful what you wish for!

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.
