Epic Health Update
Published: Sat, 08/12/23
Today I am so excited to share an Epic Health Update with you.
I am making so much progress, it’s crazy.
One step back, ten steps forward.
In my last mini-health update, I shared with you that I made an appointment with the coletoral surgeon, who would be the surgeon at the Mayo Clinic, who would handle a fistula in my Jpouch if there was one in there.
I still haven’t gotten my Pouchoscopy/Colonoscopy, but since I was able to get the appointment early with the surgeon, I thought that it wouldn’t hurt to just simply meet with him. Boy did he make my day.
I told him about the situation where I might have a fistula in my Jpouch. He straight out told me that unless I am having really bad symptoms to where it would drastically improve the quality of my life, there is no need to get the surgery, because the risk is way too high.
He told me that any intervention can impact the correct functioning of my Jpouch. For example, I could lose my ability to hold the waste in my pouch, and I could end up with severe incontinence..
This was great news to me, because I don’t have any symptoms, and I didn’t want any intervention in the first place. Keep in mind that the PA’s of my other previous GI doctors told me that a fistula is like a ticking time bomb, and that I needed to get this taken care of with surgical intervention ASAP. I guess they were actually clueless.
Even the GI doctors told me that they can maybe go through my esophagus where the intervention wouldn’t be too bad. The surgeon said even that method would be too risky. I thought that the GI doctors were knowledgeable. Whatever! The GI Doctor who told me that is giving me the pouchoscopy lol. Great.
Anyway, I then told the surgeon that my concern was that I continually have high inflammation markers in my colon. His answer to this question is when I threw a celebration all throughout my entire being.
He straight out just says that the inflammation is simply pouchitis, and you will have to deal with that for the rest of your life. I have to admit that I haven’t been taking too many preventative measures against pouchitis lately.
Anyway, I was super happy after he told me this! This inflammation is normal. Everybody, I am normal lol!
I don’t understand why my GI Doctors don’t comfort me, and actually tell me that all of this hardcore crazy inflammation markers could simply be Pouchitis. They make it sound like something is seriously wrong with me and just test me like a rat. I’m sitting here worrying every day of my life about these high inflammation markers in my colon, and it’s obviously most likely just Pouchitis. I bet that there is no fistula in my Jpouch, and that I simply just have Pouchitis like the surgeon said. We’ll find out soon.
Everything is probably good and normal. There is nothing that I need to do here. Even if I have a fistula, they won’t even do anything to fix it unless I am symptomatic and it will severely improve the quality of my life.
So I am thinking to myself, why do I even need to get this pouchoscopy this month? There is nothing that they can do regardless. So I made an appointment with my Mayo Clinic GI doctor’s PA, in the attempt to decide if I am even going to keep this pouchoscopy.
In the end after throwing the PA on a ridiculous rollercoaster of a ride lol, I decided to keep the appointment so we can get to the bottom of what is really going down in my colon/Jpouch. We can discover if I can come off of the Humira, or if I need to switch to another Biologic, or whatever. These doctors need this information in order to move forward with anything. At least I won’t have to do it again in forever.
Ecuador is in my kind of near future, probably around 6 months - 1.5 years is my estimation. Therefore, I want to make as much progress as possible, so I am not dependent on doctors when I am gone.
BTW, this epic health update is just beginning. I’ve got so much more good positive information here for you.
I just got back from having an appointment with my Primary Doctor.
Before we get into this, I am all healed up from the flu, and my appetite is roaring more than ever before. No more prednisone to impact this.
I was nervous about this doctors appointment, because I had the flu and lost my appetite for 7-10 days. If you recall, I got my blood tests right after that lol. The only reason I did that is because I really wanted that Reclast Bone Infusion so badly, and I needed my blood work done in order to get it.
I explained everything to him, he was cool, and he just wanted me to get my blood tests done again in two more months after eating well. Furthermore, my blood tests were good enough to where I was able to get prescribed the Reclast Infusion. Yay! I’ll probably have that appointment made tomorrow.
I still have even more positive information for you!
Before I get into my more positive information lol, my primary doctor is also getting me another Osteoporosis test done to see what progress I have made. If you remember in the past I had two Reclast infusions. However, during those two years I was on and off of prednisone, and I got off of the calcium supplements that I was supposed to be on, because I was drinking lots of milk at that time. I thought that I was getting enough calcium based on the RDA percentages on the milk carton.
The milk didn’t work by the way. As soon as I saw that my teeth were decalcifying, I hopped right back onto my calcium supplements, and my teeth got better within two weeks. I’ve been taking calcium ever since then. I am just hoping that the prednisone use, where Osteoporosis is a side effect, and the lack of calcium didn’t have a negative impact on me. I’m hoping that it didn’t work against my first two Reclast infusions that I did over the last two years. We’ll find out soon after I get my serious Osteoporosis scan test done. Reclast infusions are a once a year thing. BTW, I have been off of milk 100% for probably over a year now.
My blood work was really good, but my albumin levels were down, my iron was down, and my calcium was only one point under. My sodium was also a tad bit low. He said that my calcium was low by one point due to my albumin protein levels being down. However, I think my protein is down from not being able to eat when I had the flu. Everything else was good. I got assigned some more iron infusions to fix my iron up too.
Now here is the final really good news.
He said that from being on prednisone for so long and then coming off of it, that I might have developed Tertiary Addison’s Disease. I know that doesn’t sound good. However, it’s a temporary thing that generally lasts about 18 months to 2 years.
The reason why this is good, is because if I have it, it is the reason I have sodium level issues. He told me that I shouldn’t have to worry about my sodium levels dropping from simply drinking too much water. Due to the Prednisone I took, which is like taking cortisol, it impacted my HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis. After coming off of prednisone, It can take time for the communication between all of my glands to start communicating and functioning properly.
He is sending me to an endocrinologist to have them look to see if this is what is going on. They will do a test to where they check the HPA-axis and see if the communication is working or not. One of the symptoms is that when you get up too fast, the communication between the glands don’t work properly and you have to just stand there for a moment for everything to catch up before you start walking. That happens to me all of the time. However, my problem is that I just start to walk tripping out only seeing TV static instead of what’s really in front of me. It’s pretty trippy, and I haven’t passed out yet, so I am doing good lol.
Anyway, I am getting all fixed up right now and down to the bottom of everything. We are going to see how my Osteoporosis is doing, I’m getting my Reclast infusion along with some Iron infusions, there may be an explanation for my sodium issue, and lastly I am getting this pouchoscopy done so we can see exactly what is going on in my colon/Jpouch in order to make further progress.
After all of this happens, my next health update will be very telling.
I thought that this was a pretty Epic Health Update.
I’ve got one more possible epic thing to share with you in this health update lol. Remember back in the day, there was MMS, which when activated turned into Chlorine Dioxide? The FDA banned it, and some guy went to jail who believed heavily in the product, disobeyed, and continued to sell it?
Well, I am taking it right now. It’s actually called CDS, and it is meant for cleaning on an industrial scale lol. It’s not allowed for human consumption, and they can’t ban it, because it’s an industrial cleaner that is heavily used. However, it activates just like MMS, and turns into the same Chlorine Dioxide.
If you ever took MMS, it is hardcore, and makes you feel like crap. It supposedly kills only the bad things within your system. If you remember, I cured canine scabies two decades ago from taking it. The problem is, it just makes you not feel well. They say it’s from the die off of everything coming out of your system. I can’t sell this product for consumption, because it’s illegal to do so. It’s a cleaner. Plus I don’t want any problems lol.
Furthermore, just to be clear, I do not recommend that anyone take this product. If you research it online, you will mostly just read about its dangers, and other negative life threatening things about it.
Anyway, I have this possible theory, and I’m going to say that there is a 40% chance that this theory is correct.
I think that there is a good chance that all I have is Pouchitis. I just started taking the CDS daily. I feel really clear. I actually went to a restaurant buffet a week ago lol and just pigged out lol. I ate only Whole Foods besides the sauces. Anyway, my colon was pretty sore from it. That sore feeling disappeared from taking the CDS rather fast.
Anyway, my Pouchoscopy is in about a week or so, and I just started taking it recently. Can you imagine if all I have is Pouchitis, and this CDS clears it all up before my Pouchoscopy? Again, I think it’s only a 40% chance that all I’ve been doing is living with Pouchitis these last couple of years lol, and nothing more. If this is the case, I will throw a huge celebration. However, my GI Doctor from a long time ago, told me that Humira should take care of Pouchitis. I don’t have much faith in that doctor one bit. Anyway, it’s just a chance.
Can you imagine if I have simply just been living with Pouchitis these last couple of years? Pouchitis is simply an infected inflamed colon. What if the reason why I can’t eat lettuce is simply because of this Pouchitis? My colon is sore and I go through pain eating vegetables like that. I can eat fruit, but not lettuce. Maybe if I have and cure Pouchitis, get rid of the infection and inflammation, there won’t be pain when I eat lettuce? Lettuce is the one thing that I miss the most.
A kid can dream, right? Maybe I’ll test some lettuce tonight. That’s a scary proposition.
The issue is, there isn’t much time before the Pouchoscopy. Therefore, I may not have enough time to clear it up if I even can. You’ve got to start slow and build up on CDS, or you will just get super sick. I’m getting lots of benefits, such as more clarity and energy. I can sense it when I am playing with my daughters. I’m not as lethargic. I did a little ‘My Story’ video on Facebook right after rolling out of bed. So many people thought that I looked super healthy even though I just got out of bed without even brushing my hair. I’ve definitely killed some bad guys within my system with it. However I have an ongoing sore throat, and a headache due to taking it. It’s very intense. It also impacts the quality of my sleep. I also think I have a mild fever from it. I just want to stop taking it lol. I’ve been taking it for four days now. Wow, that’s actually pretty good. That good progress actually makes me want to keep going lol. I’m insane.
Anyway, all is very exciting right now and I will keep you updated. I’ll try to get another health update within the next two weeks.
All right, let’s conclude this bad boy!
