Pins and needles

Hey all...Do you love the title of this post? That's basically what my life is centered on right now. I'm in the middle of "detox" at Sierra Integrative. I'm there 5 days a week and I get an IV every day and shots 3 times a week. I'm also doing some other therapies that are helping to get all the junk out of my body and some good stuff in. I'm still waiting on results for some of the tests they did when I got there---specifically my allergy and hormone tests. After my initial consultation with the doctor he said I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, possible CFIDS (Chronic Fatigue Immune Deficiency Syndrome). He also said my adrenals are shot, my liver is overworked, my immune system is worn out and that my hormones are probably completely screwed up. He's pretty sure I don't have an autoimmune disease though...I knew there was some good news! :) I'm anxious to get all the test results back so we can know exactly what is going on and really get to work on those specific things. It's nice to know all this stuff hasn't been in my head.
All the people at the clinic are really wonderful. The doctor is brilliant---and a total crack-up. It's hysterical to see this little Chinese man walking around in a white coat and cowboy boots.
Mom has been driving up with me each day. (It's about an hour and 10 minute drive.) We play cards and read to pass the time. I am really grateful to her for going up with me and making it possible for me to do this.
Just wanted to thank all of you for your prayers and support during all my ups and downs these last few years. I'm so grateful for each of you. Love, Melissa
P.S. Hopefully some day soon I'll have something to talk about other than health problems. :)
