Cee’s Share Your World posts these questions and Here are my responses:
What is your favorite color of hair? You can name your hair color or a color that you just like.
I like my original black hair. More and more grey hair takes over, but I decided to go natural without dyeing my hair.
List at least 5 things that you are good at. These are the things I am good at, but always welcome improvement.
- I’m accepting, not judgmental. I respect other people’s differences.
- I’m a good listener. When people share with me, they would feel that they are my only attention.
- I’m good at using PC. I used PowerPoint, Access, Excel, Word, and Publisher for my work before I retired. I conducted a Publisher for beginners training.
- I have good organizational skills. That was a given to do my job as a school district administrator.
- I have a green thumb, even though not everything grows in my garden due to lack of or too much sunlight.
What is your favorite animal or type of animal? (pets, dolphins, stuffed, wild cats, etc.)
My favorite animal is Humpback whale. I’m impressed with Humpback Whale songs, their intelligence, and the way the mother whale cares for the calf during the migration from Mexico to Alaska. I did a post on Humpback Whale.
What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? Feel free to use a quote, a photo, a story, or even a combination.
I had a scary experience last week. I had a fever of 103.8 last Monday night when I was in Portland, Oregon. It started with flu-like symptoms of Shriver and fever, was quickly followed by heat rash. My daughter Mercy took care of me until 1:00 a.m. on Tuesday. My fever came down and I got some sleep. The next day I flew back to California. On Wednesday the doctor gave me oral antibiotics, but my conditions didn’t improve.
By Friday afternoon, I got the feeling that I needed IV antibiotics. First, I secured a follow-up appointment for Monday (today). Then I checked in to the Emergency Room. I had a steroid shot, blood drawn, and ultrasound was done. I was admitted to the hospital a few hours later. There was more testing, lab work, steroid, IV antibiotics to find out why I had such severity of symptoms. I stayed in the hospital until Sunday afternoon.
Anyway, there was no conclusion yet. I was discharged because the fever and rash were under control. I will have an appointment with an allergy doctor, hopefully, to identify the cause.
The experience was scary and got my husband and daughter worried. Yet here I am, recovering with 10 days of medications. I feel like nothing had happened. I’m thankful for the medical professionals and technology to get me back on my feet.

Thank you, Teresa! The last time I had that experience was during chemo. Of course it was the reaction to the chemo drugs. So this time it’s the reaction to my blood pleasure medication that I took for 9 month. It built up to a point that my body reacted to it violently. Yes, I’m okay now. I just found out that Biola Univ. here has a Writers organization that holds writers conference several times a year. Apparently they also has group meetings and publish anthologies, charges $400 to publish a book, including editing, cover design… I’ll find out some more on Monday. The membership is $50 a year. There are 3 distant conferences, and a local one is in June. Again, I’ll find out tomorrow.

So glad you are feeling better Miriam, it must have been a scary experience. It could have been caused by a bug you picked up while traveling – I know a few people suffered similar symptoms after flying. Hope you continue to feel better ☺💖🌹 xxx

Thank you, Xenia. The blood tests ruled out bugs. It narrowed down to the chemical allergic reaction caused by my newer blood pressure medication that I took for 9 months. I’m glad it wasn’t disease or bugs. I’m recovering nicely. Thank you again, Xenia! ❤ 🙂 xox

It was my first time ever not including chemo treatment period. They still didn’t know what went wrong. Ruled out the virus, could be reacting the chemicals in some medications I’ve been taking, the doctors said. 🙂

well not sure if you have tried the parasite cleanses from Kroeger herbs or the candida cleanse….
either one would be a great place to start and I am sure you know this – but watch the brands you use – some have fillers and not all are created equal.
maybe you could let me know what brands you love – but my top two for general herbs are Natures way and Kroeger

got it – but just do not forget to feed the terrain with supplements to give your body support. The enzymes are sparks of life and serrazimes help the intestines heal.
I am sure you know probiotics and flora are key – I minimized that for a long time.
and some herbs are so antiseptic that they wipe out enzymes and flora – and those are needed for a synergy immune function. ya know.

sure…. blame the sunlight (on the garden stuff) just kidding….
but I liked your list of strengths and it seems to be the miriam I have come to know – so your blog seems to represent you well.
and hope the root cause to the health issue gets resolved.
sounds like intestinal parasites to me (and not to be condescending but watch those steroid shots you let them give you – short term boost but can hurt in long run)
and in my very humble opinion and for education purposes – you really should think of doing some herbal regimes for inestinal health.
The skin is big dumping ground and many times rashes, sores, patches, and skin issues are from what is exiting the GI and bloodstream.
and it is very easy to get flukes, cysts, and micro worms from food, swimming water, air, etc.
and even without symptoms some of my health mentors argue that everyone needs some good herbal support – but all the moreso after certain symptoms of infection.

You’re right, Yvonne. Blood tests ruled out virus. Two doctors quickly identified that it was allergic reaction toward chemicals in one or two newer medications I’ve been taking within a year. I believe that because the skin reaction looked exactly like what I had when loads of chemo drugs dumped into my body that burned me to literally plum color.
Yes, I cut most of my medication, but my blood pressure started again a year ago and that was when I started taking new med for that. After this crisis, I’ll diligently exercise and take herbal med. I did that for a year when I took acupuncture, changed my diet to cool (alkaline rich) food.

oh right on –
and I have to send you this video we just made – maybe later this weekend or early next week.
but my health mentor – John B
he usually has folks do a liver cleanse for about a month – to support the liver – and then move into other protocols.
I am not 100%, but 6 months on a liver detox might be too long.
If you have time – check out James Sloan – the herbalist – he is one of my favs for herbs.
and then big thing to remember is that herbs are great and all – but to restore the terrain we need to have enzymes, flora replenishment, and a good oil.
__
if anyone close to me had anything like you went through – I would put them on the Logos protocol for 90 days.
I am not affiliated with them in any way – but I felt led to mention this to you.
The logos “wellness” protocol is the ONLY thing that helped me turn a big corner with my health.
I did do the many herbal cleanses (and it wipes stuff out) but I had to have adrenal and organ support and had to help my body “fire” again – and their products did this –
The thymic formula is a multi that has feeds trhe thymus gland and then the products are just really special.
here is the thing – they also have a money back guarantee – which is finally why I tried it – and instead of a refund – I ordered more – and sometimes suggest it to folks. It helps you rebuild the terrain and I noticed a huge difference in a few days – but by week two I was writing the company with praises – the stuff fed my system that much and helped me rebuild my terrain.

and I do love sharing and did you know that I found info online that rescued me back in 2014 – and so seriously – sometimes the things we take the time to share can lead to a resource for someone else.
Some lady – posted on a health blog anonymously – shared that she did a tapeworm protocol and it healed her of everything.
I felt God tell me to listen up and I went in that direction – and it was so powerful because it got me thinking GI and inner health – where immune function lies….
ahhhhhh
and so I can never thank my anon lady 0 but I thank her any time I pass stuff on too – ya know?
and peace and grace to you…

I have to do something with my immune system.
LikeLiked by 1 person
you hit the nail on the head – it is all about the immune system.
That took me a while to SEE!
our culture likes to treat symptoms and not get to root causes.
and most disease (cancer process, pathogen infection, etc.) occurred because there was a breakdown in the body’s terrain.
Heard the analogy of a boat with a hole.
Allopathic care tends to spend a lot of money scooping out buckets of water rather than patching the holes.
