Vitamin C

My friend at Nature's Market Health Foods told me to boost my intake of Vitamin C. I was down there buying my Oregano oil supplement and I began discussing my problems of immunity and battling stress factors. She suggested to boost the Vitamin C. The depression has left almost overnight. The other symptoms are still here. The popping in the ears, blurry eyes, although better are still here. Balance is still off. I am taking about 5000 mg through out the day. Ofcourse these are buffered, but in the past I have had a problem with the acid in the C. But I have been alkaline my body for many months and probably can take the higher doseage.

When the yeast is at it's highest the gums swell as well. They are swelling a little now. So we will see. The goal is not to end up in the hospital as I have each spring for the last two years. So far so good.

Getting ready for a colonoscopy

On 4/22 Rivera gave me a script to start on Ambien. I started about the next day. On the 24th anxiety started up again each day after that the anxiety increased until I stopped it on 29th and then I went back to Rivera on 30th. He changed me to include seroquel, stopping the ambien. This drug was taken at night to help me sleep. First night was Monday the 4th, due to the inability of pharmacy to fill script. They stated the script was on wrong form. Anyways. So the Monday dose was 100 mg. So on Tuesday all day I could barely keep awake. I went to 50mg on Tuesday night still terrible sleepiness all day on Wednesday during the day. Took nothing on Wednesday night. I went back to Ambien on Thursday night anxiety flooded me on Friday. Did not take anything on Friday evening. Saturday morning feeling pretty good. Some anxiety.
Now at the same time the prep for the colonoscopy started on Thursday. Friday Rivera up me to level 2 on the VNS implant. Still at 30 seconds every two hours. No fish oils,Vitamin C or Primrose in AM. Still on Magnesium during day. Stopped magnesium on Thursday night. Started Thoridiazine 50mg on Thursday and on Friday and on Sat. No mag on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Mag is blood thinner, as is fish oil, vit C and primrose. Friday night I had restless sleep. Saturday In the morning I increased dosage of Paxil to about 20mg. Going off natural stuff to thicken up blood, increasing drugs to stabilize.
I am trying a magnesium product that is powdered and is a magnesium citrate. It absorbs much better than any I have tried before. I read this article 
It seems right up my alley. Even to the loud noises. The ear bones can't dampen the noise when lacking the necessary magnesium so that causes stress to the overall body.

Next Appointment is post-op

The next time I see the surgeon is next week on Thursday. That will be for removal of the bandages and wound inspection.I can see my progress now almost hourly. However I contracted a cold while there. So I am coughing up stuff already. Maybe a trip to Dr Karabatos for antibiotics will be in order. Lots of Vitamin C perhaps.
