Just kidding! Okay, so I wasn't really kidding when I wrote a few weeks ago that I had been feeling better. It's just that, well, the feeling-better feeling only lasted about one more week after I posted, and I'm not feeling better anymore. I mean, I guess I'm feeling better than I was a year ago, but not any better than I was four or five months ago, and I am discouraged that I am more tired now that I was a month or two ago.

Part of the problem is that some of the chemistry that my doctor is monitoring takes three weeks to get the results back from the time the sample is submitted, and by the time the doctor gets the results back, I am feeling completely different than I was three weeks ago. (Remember, I fluctuate daily, if not hourly.) Anyway, it's hard to make changes in supplement levels when 1) it takes so long to get test results back, 2) there is such fluctuation in how I'm feeling, and 3) when I have seventeen (this is not an exaggerated number; it might be understated) different things wrong with me, and when I say I'm tired, it's hard to know which ones of those seventeen things are not being managed like they need to be. I just want to crawl into bed and stay there for a week. Or a month. :(

One piece of good news is that the thing I have been taking to remove toxic metals from my body is actually working like it is supposed to. I mean, I still have elevated amounts of mercury and lead, but they are down significantly from what they were four months ago. The test results were actually so good that I was wondering if there was some sort of error!
