I heard this on Joyce Meyer this morning. What an awesome quote. This is very much what I have learned through this whole ordeal.
"The only way you KNOW what you believe, is when it is tested. The only way your faith is going to grow, is to go through a time when you have to use it." Joyce Meyer

seeing some improvements
I have been doing the treatments now for about 6 weeks, and I am noticing a pretty drastic improvement. I still have a lot of symptoms, but I can definately tell that the yeast is dying off and I am healing. My face is beginning to get clear and I have so much more energy than I have had in a long time. My skin is very itchy and my hands are very broken out in the yeast rash, but this is a common symptom of candida die off. That should heal and my body fights the yeast off. My sinuses are getting much better as well and the post nasal drip is improving. I use my netti pot or sinus rinse 2 times a day, which is a HUGE help for me. If I do not use my sinus rinse, I get plugged up very quickly. There is still a long way to go, but the treatment is working, and that is so encouraging!
Lexi is starting the medication, Nystatin, that I am on as well. Her head is still a mess and she is still breaking out in the skin lesions randomly. She also looks very pastey to me alot and has dark circles under her eyes. She clears her throat alot too. The diet alone seems to be helping her symptoms to improve somewhat, but the dr doesnt think the diet alone will be enough to fix the problem, because she has so many symptoms that I do. The good news is that our dr is awesome and he lets me be the ginuea pig. So, Lexi doesnt have to go through all of the pokes and such to be tested. He is sure she has a yeast overgrowth, based on the mold exposure and the fact that I do, and her symptoms are parallel to mine. So, I feel so relieved that she doesnt have to go through that.....at least not now. In the future, if she needs the allergy shots and candida shots that I am taking every 5-7 days, then she would need testing. Hopefully, that is never needed. If it is though, I am getting darn good at giving shots....so at least by then I will have experience!
I was watching Joyce Meyer the other day and she looked at the tv screen and said "In the name of Jesus Christ, BE HEALED." Thank you for that message, God. I know we will be healed. I know that Christ is working here and I know that we are being healed. It may be a long process, but we will triumph. We will reach that point where we are no longer having symptoms every day. Sometimes we have to wander around in the desert for awhile, trusting God and leaning on Him and Him alone, before we reach the promised land. :)

still waiting
Well, they told me that I would have news about my CT scan within 48 hours...and most likely more like 24 hours. 48 hours was at 9am this morning, and it is now 1pm. I am a little frustrated that I still do not know anything, but I hope to know soon. I am thinking though, that since I have not heard, the news cannot be THAT bad. Even if they found something, surely it is not too horrible. I will post as soon as I know something. Thanks for the prayers. Keep em coming! I was watching tv on Wednesday night, after my CT scan. I was feeling a little nervous and I said a prayer for God to be with me and to heal me. I decided to tune into an episode of Joyce Meyer (I record her every morning and watch her later). I randomly pulled up an episode and began to watch. The entire show was about health and relying on God. IT was about waiting on God. Joyce said, that waiting on God literally means to EXPECT God. To EXPECT him to do something. I know that I was meant to see that show. It instantly gave me peace and it spoke to me. I know that it was a message that God was sending ot me, through Joyce. At the end of the program, she said a prayer and she said "in the name of Jesus Christ, be healed." I know that we will be healed through all of this. I know that we are on the road to recovery. How long that road is, I dont know. But I know that God is on the road with us :)
