Post treatment blues & LAB RESULTS from the MD.
Elise, my acupuncturist from yesterday, called like she promised and asked how I was doing today. My answer was "not so good." Actually, I felt terrible today. Exhausted, super irritable, foggy headed, somewhat depressed. Elise said that didn't surprise her at all, and honestly it didn't surprise me either. I have noticed feeling like this before when detoxing. I think tomorrow I will feel better.
I took Luke to the doctor today...he was sick all weekend. While I was there I picked up my lab results. My doctor was kind enough to copy them for me and if I can get my scanner to work, I will post them. I called my doctor in a panic last week because I was worried that I had some sort of vitamin deficiency...my muscles have completely disappeared in a matter of weeks, even though I hadn't stopped working out. He flipped through the lab results and said that aside from a slight protein deficiency, I was a picture of "perfect health." I love the words perfect health. He said that my muscle loss could definitely be from the protein deficiency. I was really excited about the results because as I said before, I have stopped taking ALL vitamins because in Ayurveda, they believe vitamins are toxic to the system. After the muscle loss, I was worried that my stopping the vitamins caused a major deficiency. But this is not the case! I am getting enough vitamins without supplementing. I just need to bump up my protein, which I knew already. My body FEELS like it needs protein. So...it looks like the protein green concept of blended meat and vegetables will be on my menu for a little bit. :(
