We had our blood drawn, and got to spend lots of time with Dr. Shoemaker. We had lots of questions that got answered very thoroughly with lots of doctor talk :) We had out first administration of VIP and about 15 minutes later had our blood drawn again. Both Tom and I felt after those fifteen minutes like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. For me I could breath easier, my chest didn't feel as tight and I felt more calm than normal. It was a good feeling.
We left the office and ordered our VIP immediately. It arrived the day after we returned back to Indiana. We started our full on dosing of VIP that Thursday. The first couple days I felt better than I had felt in a long time. A few days later I felt miserable.... not sure why...
Things have started to mellow out and become more consistent. I have been feeling ok, but not great. I keep reminding myself that this is a 3 month process on this medication..not 1 week only. I will keep you posted.
I'm curious as to how you are doing on the VIP treatments. I too have biotoxin induced cfs illness. My doctor is located in Santa Rosa, CA and the only other doctor aside from Ritchie Shoemaker to be able to administer the VIP. I see him on 7/23. It's hard to find any info on this treatment since its so new.
ReplyDeleteI don't know anything about the treatment at all. If you know of a website that has info-that would be helpful.
dear anonymous, do you have some contact info where i can write you? i would be happy to share the info I have. ttys -marc-
