I am reacting pretty strongly to the JP and Dr B wants me to push through which i am totally capable of doing but wondering how long? I have had a hard time adding things to my regime and I am glad she is telling me to push through but yikes- it is pretty nasty. I am wondering if anyone else had issues with JP and then were able to push through and do better with it? I guess I am looking for encouragement about it. I have a tricky situation because I know I "feel" better if I don't take any herbs/pros etc. It is hard to knowingly make yourself feel worse. Always keeping the main goal in mind but it is tough.

I wish I was of some help! I have not taken JP yet and I even asked her about it and she said it was not for me now.... The only thing I ever had trouble with was Bifido and I did push through and it was ok after a few weeks. I know it's hard to trust when it hurts but she really does know what she is doing, hang in there!

Hi Deir,
Not that I want you to suffer, but it's kind of reassuring that I'm not the only one who has had trouble with JP - when I told Dr. B that I thought it was increasing the anxiety - she told me that she doubted it - that it always seemed to help people calm down - looks like you and I may be a bit odd. : ) Anyway, we slowly introduced me to it and it was fine. For me it seemed to increase my anxiety for a period of time. Is this what's happening to you?
Thanks ladies- Denise- the
Thanks ladies-
Denise- the anxiety is mostly better already. It was weird. I only felt it really bad and extremely pronounced when I was trying to sleep. So at least that seems better- I hope! But yes- I appeat to be odd as well- great! ;)
What's up witht me is burning and awful crampiness-tyoe feeling. I never even felt this type of feeling before I started treatment.Also my belly is swollen
Christine- did you feel really bad for the weeks youwere getting used to the Bif? I feel like she alwyas takes me off stuff and I want to push through but it is a balance between pushing through and increasing inflammation too much I guess. This is really bad but I can still live mostly so I'd like to push through. when I email her I always tell he what has gotten worse but that I can push through if need be but she often changes me. I sometimes worry that I should be pushing through. Ii am very strong! I just want to get better. ONe question I wish I had explored more with her when I went to LA was- what to expect with each change and what to look for as far as worsening or pushing through- etc.
Also- for anyone reading this and getting freaked out- I really htink I am a weird case. I was practically symptom free most days when I went to LA and I am still more than likely a lot milder than some although- this pretty much stinks today.:(
Deir, I wouldn't say I felt
Deir, I wouldn't say I felt terrible when I started the Bifido but my frequency and pressure increased. She started me out very low, I think 1/4 a cap so I really didn't have much to cut back so she had me push through I guess. She told me it would most likely make me feel worse so I was expecting that. I guess it took about 2 weeks to feel better and then at my next appt. she would up the dose some more and I would feel crappy again for about 2 weeks and then I was fine. I am now on 2 bif's 3x a day and doing fine with it. I really don't e-mail her unless I am feeling REALLY bad, maybe that's why I have few changes in my protocol. Hope your feeling better! You too Denise!
