Today I started on a foul witches brew that is supposed to help sort out my adrenal glands. Problem is I can't actually drink the stuff. The first two mouthfuls are ok and from there on in it makes me want to honk. I guess if you have ever tried Chinese herbs you will know where I am coming from. Thing is, I really want to take this stuff. Now that my spitting in tube (AKA Saliva Hormone Assays) has identified a potential area to address I just want to address it. The wonderful folks at Zita West recommended this stuff, my endocrinologist has done her tests to back this up. So now, seven vials of blood and two spectacular bruises later, I look like a junkie but I am good to go. Trouble is I took the damn stuff an hour ago and I still feel icky. Going to have to forage for apple juice to mix with it to even attempt a dose later. The stuff is called Dynamite Adrenals and I would welcome any tips you might have on getting the stuff into you, if you happen to be on it
This is also week two of not eating wheat, which initially freaked me out and is now absolutely fine. I have lost a kilo and feel pretty good. Still sleepy but good and less maudlin
The weirdest news has to be that we can go ahead and do IUI whenever we want to start, provided I have a laproscopy to see if I have endometriosis first. I have no symptoms, nobody has thought to check this before but apparently it could make the choice between IUI and starting IVF straight away. If my bits are stuck together inside we go straight to plan B. Very strange and quite surprising, I can't really decide if I am actually ok with this or not. Is it my gynaecologist liking the idea or is it really necessary as general anaesthesia and a camera in my pelvis is not my idea of enhancing my chances. However it might actually be very sensible...the good news is the advice from the gynae is to wait a while and fix adrenal glands in the meantime so I guess its back to the powder of nausea...
