Well the last couple of days here have been nice. Mother Nature is showing her passionate side for us humans. We finally broke the 100* mark and are riding in the high 80’s to low 90’s. What a break.

You know I wake up every morning allowing myself to focus on a few clues of how my day is going to be even before I leave the bed. Almost like a checklist a pilot goes through before take off.

Started the Wheldon CAPⁱ in Jan. '09. A cautious doctor worked me slowly up to a full pulse in Aug. '09. After a year of pulsing, I'm only just starting to feel some reactions to the ABXⁱ.

 My last honest-to-god relapse was in April '09 when I lost a lot of strength in my dominant hand (couldn't use chopsticks - tough if you live in Japan). This seemed to agree with the idea that a relapse could conceivably happen in the first few months. Prior to the CAP, I've been through double vision, foot drop, difficulty walking, numb tongue, general malaise, memory loss, balance difficulty, etc.

 Since starting the CAP, I've never really had anything that fell into line with the experiences of others - herxing, NACⁱ Flu, etc.

Just curious...has anyone else had their taste buds change during CAPⁱ?

I have M.S. and have experienced issues with my taste buds for years. I'd have months where everything would taste dull and could only enjoy hot or spicy foods. 

Before I started CAP, my taste buds were "normal".  It's been almost a month since I started and I can no longer stand the taste of coffee or artificial sweetner .  Giving up coffee is not a horrible thing and I was getting off the diet soda anyway.  Another odd thing is that that carbonation from soda or seltzer feels like its scouring my mouth.  Very Odd.   

Here I am back again with a couple of things I meant to say before.

The first is just a funny coincidence - my blood pressure at my check-up was my weight over my age: 106/70.

The other has nothing to do with our protocol.  It is that next week we are getting solar hot water!  We almost went entirely solar at the beginning but "chickened out" and decided to try this first.  There is a federal tax rebate of 30% and NC has a 35%  tax rebate in addition. 

A few days after our decision, we learned that a very famous dairy goat judge, breeder, and dairy owner is doing the whole thing.   She is in CA and hers is the second largest solar profect in CA.  This is incredibly exciting that all this is happening!

It appears that living right can do good things.   And the young coyote is alive and well - she was not euthanized, but instead released, due to a catch-and-release program!

Today was my annual physical, and I passed with high flying colors.  Such adjectives as: phenomenal, amazing, beautiful, and several others were used.  I was told again that my doctor has fully realized that there is a Vit D deficiency across the county - he used the word "epidemic" - where have I heard that before?  Incidentally, mine is again down to 65, so I will increase my intake again from 8,000 to 10,000 for a while.  My level seems to go up or down as my diligence - unwitting or not - ebbs and flows.   

Hi,

I'm new and I have M.S. Symptoms since '03, dxⁱ in '06.  CAP since 6/22/2010. Doxyⁱ and Azith only. No pulses yet.

I'm at work and don't have time to type up my whole backstory right now.  Sorry.

My brother found and sent me this article which seems to show a bacterial causation for MS:

My brother has been taking capⁱ for 18 months now,he is currentey plulseing metroⁱ at 3 days every 3 weeks,i think he has done about 5 lots of 3 day pulses.We have not increased the the number of days in a pluse because he is feeling so horrid.The past 18 months have been really hard, all but one of his symptoms have got considerabley worse. 

However his tremer has definately improved ,on days when he wants to stop cap because he feels its just making him worse we try to encourage him to continue by making a link between his improved tremmer and his on going treatment.

Hello Everyone,

Ohhh where do I begin???
