Aug 23rd

Today was a usual day, morning with a Phos IV bag and an Arm detox shot. 

Mom's rTMS treatment for her brain with Daisy (Dr. Powells asst).

I had lymphatic drainage treatment with Carol. 

We waited 1 hr and had our Glyoxal butt shot. 

I got my push at 1pm, however today mom decided to skip the push this time because her body was exhausted from the reactions. I went up 2 dosages this time because I was determined to have a really good push. So I went from .05 to .07.

My shakes began 1 hour after receiving it and lasted about 30 mins. My fever got to 103.7 at 4pm. I took 2 tylenol and this time I didn't have much of a headache. I don't know if this was due to Carol's lymph treatment or if it was because I went up 2 dosages. By 6pm I was able to stand up and move around which is very ususal. I was even able to eat dinner! The other difference this time is that- they always tell you to eat really light because you may vomit when the shakes happen (its very common). However I usually find that by 7pm when my fever breaks I am STARVING since I haven't eaten in 12 hrs. Which usually aids in a headache and dizziness. Today I ate a sandwich at 11am, so I don't know if that was part of the reason I recovered so fast. I guess we'll see tomorrow. 

The shakes are totally uncontrollable shaking caused by your body freezing. It feels like your fingers and toes have been in snow. Your core can not get warm. We have 3 heating pads, two blankets and a heating pad on the bed, and still we are freezing!!!

Tip of the day: Rumor has it- the more you shake the less pain you feel later. So sometimes you have to go up 2 dosages. The doctor and medical staff leave it totally up to you do decide what's best for your body.
