More all natural products

I ran out of facial cream. It's now officially time to switch to all natural products to be putting on my skin. What goes into my skin, eventually goes right into my body 

Excruciating pain Thursday

Thursday 11/7/2013 was by far the worst pain day yet. Each day of pain attacks seems to keep getting worse and worse. Each is worse than the last. I literally would have preferred to have been run over by a semi b/c not even pain pills can dull this intense, outrageous, excruciating pain.
That was me driving home.  I was crying so hard.   I had no make-up on so it's not like you can see the tears causing my make-up to run or something but you can see in the 2nd picture the red glossy eyes.

Vitamin Regimen.

This is my daily regimen.

In the morning, I mix my powdered greens with water, organic apple juice, 1 tablespoon of "cold-pressed, Hemp-Oil" & open a capsule of my "Raw Probiotics" (85 billion live cultures) - Shake it all up and drink.

With it I take a *Grape seed capsule, *Turmeric capsule, *Bromelain capsule & * Ester-c capsule.

30 minutes prior to eating dinner, I drink 1/2 of the Kambucha and the other 1/2 later in the evening.

AT bedtime, I take the *Colostrum capsule, 2 *Vitamin E, another *Turmeric capsule, another *Bromelain capsule & another *Raw Probiotic.

The organic *Cacao nibs are my snack throughout the day when I need a bite of chocolate flavoring & an energy boost.

And I use a 1/4 teaspoon of the *Organic cinnamon in my cup of hot tea.

LOTS going on here!  Everything is completely organic, some from other countries and either powder, liquid or capsule form.

On a mission to re-build my gut flora.  The roots to my immune system

Barium Sulfate& iodine contrast today....

I feel like a complete guinea pig.  Today, I got a CT done with barium sulfate.  I had to ingest that paste like drink twice.  The taste wasn't too bad BUT the texture was nasty due to how thick it was.

When I arrived, they had me lay down, they inserted an IV & in the IV, they injected IODINE.    It was the craziest feeling!  You immediately feel a warm sensation.  It makes you feel like your peeing your self, you can feel it hit your mouth and extremities.

The technician took some CT images and sent me on my way.

Day of Colonoscopy & Endoscopy

Well, 10-10-13 was the day of my 1st colonoscopy and my 2nd ever endoscopy. The procedure actually went smoothly and quickly.
They brought me back, hooked me up to a bunch of machines and within about 10 minutes, I was under.
Dr. Burnette did the procedure and next thing I knew, I was waking up :)
He performed multiple biopsies between the esophagus, colon and small intestines.
Lets hope this gives us the answers as to WHY my CA-19-9 tumor marker came back high and WHY my lipase levels are sky high :)

Getting ready to go back!!  I'M SCARED!

I'm all changed and waiting for the nurse to insert the IV

My Room :)

stuff to get me prepped

WAKING UP!!!!  I was SO loopy!!
Gotta love when the person picking you up snaps this photo memory :)

Colonoscopy & Endoscopy

After continually having high Lipase levels, High CA-19-9 markers & very bad stomach pains, I have now been scheduled for my 1st colonoscopy and my 2nd endoscopy.
That is the worst, most disgusting 16ounces of liquid I have EVER had to ingest.  Only being allowed to eat green jello was really not too bad at all.  It was the Sodium Sulfate, Potassium sulfate and Magnesium sulfate cocktail called Suprep bowel prep that made me want to vomit.   Ingesting that concoction is definitely something you can ONLY do if you are going to be home during the times you have to take it!
