I am really excited to start my hyperbaric oxygen treatments tomorrow. It has been a rocky journey to getting approved. A prerequisite to starting HBOT is having a chest X-ray. When I received my results of granules in my lungs I thought the worst: cancer. Of course the doctors never called me to help describe what is going on. The HBOT center has it's own doc's on the payroll and they looked at my X-rays and cat scan to tell me my lungs looked perfect.
I am hoping this is the case but because of all the unknown and the pulmonary specialist NOT getting back to my doctor I was taken off the Humira until further notice by my gastroenterologist. This was a scary relief for me because I hate taking the shot anyway especially with all the risks. However, I was told by my previous doc this was my last result and nothing else worked for me and if I ever got off I could become immune to it and not have the Humira work next time I use it if needed. It has been 6 weeks since my scheduled shot and I do feel symptoms coming back: diarrhea, close calls getting to the bathroom, bloating and stomach pain with bowel movement. This makes me believe I was only in remission due to the medicine.
However, I am what I eat and I never ate right. I am challenging myself and writing on the blog that I vow to eat healthy and just as if a nutritionist wrote me my own diet. I will not steer and I will treat my self to sweets once in a while so I don't go rebellious.
