Health Update and My YouTube
Published: Tue, 09/26/23
I know that I haven’t done any health updates in awhile. I’ve just been doing so good and I've been so stable that there hasn’t been much to report.
In fact, I am doing so good, I tried raw vegetables again lol. When will I ever learn?
I’m actually totally fine from it. However, it did produce pain. It was nothing I couldn’t handle though. I just went back to what I was doing, and I got better pretty quick.
I finally met with the doctors PA this week. As I shared in the last health update, my goal is to get off of the Humira. I want to wean off of it so badly.
They didn’t get the records that they wanted in order to approve my weaning off of Humira. I was pissed lol. They can never get my medical records for the life of them. I honestly don’t think that they will ever get them and I will be stuck on this drug forever.
Anyway, since I had that raw vegetable, celery, I told them about the pain. If you remember my Pouchoscopy, it showed that my colon/Jpouch was looking pretty darn good. I did have an ulcer in an area that is very common in the Jpouch. I also had inflammation. However, this is deemed as Pouchitis and not as a disease. All this time that I have been feeling pain seems to be from chronic Pouchitis!
This is where the pain is coming from when I eat raw vegetables. This is why I think one day that I can get back to eating salads.
She said this is different than having Crohn’s or a disease. This is why I seriously think I can come off the Humira and be done with it once and for all. However, there is the risk of me falling ill and getting sick again when I am doing so darn good.
She prescribed me gentle Antibiotics for the Pouchitis. These ones would not get me sick like the last ones. I am pretty confident when I say that. However, I’m not sure if I am going to take them or not. However, I do like having them on-hand just in case. For some reason, I think that the carrot juice powder is going to help me big time since it is a huge resistant against infection.
Anyway, I’m not in crazy pain or anything like that, but I am just so curious if the antibiotics would clean all of that up.
Right now I am not going to take it. However, I am thinking of getting off the Humira on my own since they don’t seem to be able to help me with that. I actually just changed my prescription to a syringe versus the automatic injector pen. I can then choose to only put half in and wean off the drug this way.
I'm nervous as heck to stick a needle in myself like that, but I got to do what I’ve got to do.
As you can see, I am still fighting to get off all meds lol. I’m still a natural Raw Vegan at heart and I just can’t seem to drop the idea of getting off of the meds, and I can't drop the hope that I am done with this disease.
A previous GI Doctor terminated our relationship due to disobedience lol. I supposedly didn’t do everything they said. However, I did! They dropped me, because they messed up so many times, such as accidentally overdosing me, misdiagnosing me, and they didn’t want the liability.
Anyway, it just makes me nervous about having two of these on my record if they drop me for stopping the Humria without their permission. I can always say I just forgot to take it lol.
There are some dangers in doing this. For example, I can build up antibodies and I won’t be able to use this particular drug anymore. There are a limited amount of meds that work for this, and if I close all doors, it can affect my lifespan. However, the upside is that I will finally find out if I am truly healed or not if I do do this. I don’t think that I can live in peace until I try. I don’t know what I am going to do there. At some point I am going back to Ecuador 6 months of the year and I have no idea how I would even get the drug out there. I’ll keep you updated on what I choose. My heart and drive is just too big.
Anyway, I’m opening the channels back up to unsolicited advice again lol. You guys have no idea how peaceful my life has been since I blocked it all out lol. I get so wound up about things that I would almost get a hernia lol. I would actually prefer if you didn't send advice, but it won't get blocked anymore. I don’t like blocking people out so I have directed customer service to send everything through again. However, if it’s longer than 2-3 sentences, I won’t read it. I am so busy that I need as much time in my life as possible for all of the things that I do lol.
In fact, I am going back on YouTube. I’m a freaking machine lol. Lately, I’ve been getting interviewed from many YouTuber’s. It got me to browse some YouTube videos amongst the Raw Vegans. Oh my gosh, there is still so much judgmental nonsense. I just felt like I need to step back in and throw some spice into the mix. In fact, I just put an epic 50 minute video on YouTube titled “23 Year X-Raw Vegan Comes Out About Raw Vegan Diet” lol. That’s going to go viral.

Anyway, stay on the Humira, or come off?
Lastly, there are only 3.5 days left to get in on September's incredible 'At-Cost' specials. I know that most of you know what those are, but tomorrow morning I'll send a Newsletter summarizing it all.
