Re: repost of unanswered q. from bowel cleanse forum,,,

Val,
I don't think Kentucky liscenes N.D.s. Midwifes aren't even legal here. They are just considering liscening accupuncture. And as far as the tests you mentioned, I reallize this may sound stubborn, but:

NOPE!

Won't do it. Choose not to take any blood tests.

Because: if I get a label for something like pancreitis, or fibriod tumors, or some some other such thing.....it would NOT be helpful in my family or situation. For one, my nickame as a child was WW (worry wart) And, My husband is a "medical model" person--his mom died of cancer about my age, and he already has a pacemaker, which he got at 42 because he was 'passing out' during his running. They didn't suggest trying some other things--he got 'scared' into it as a 'preventative'.

Naw, I'd have to leave him if I did get a "label", or he'd drive me to my grave. My chi gong teacher would be happy--she loves to "overcome" disease. She wants to prove to the medical community... But that's not how I am doing it. And, if it reassures you, my M.D. muscle tests me and says I'll be okay as soon as I sleep.

The missing piece of the puzzle for you, Val, is I only have been sleeping 3-4 hours since October 1--but this is about the 6th episode of severe insomnia in the last 12 years. I'm handling the best I ever have, and when it is over, I plan to regain my full strenth and health. I get accupuncture treatments for the pain and to try to figure out what is 'blocked" and I have just started to sleep better IF I get to bed by 9 am. Last night I had teenager crisis, and didn't and that really HURTS. My immune system is handling this okay--I haveen't gotten 'ILL", just have all the symptoms of several dis-eases....fibro, m.s., etc.

I understand that sleep is one of the most important aspects of good health. So, once I take care of my 'sleep issues' and I've had a year to build up, I'll probably go in and get some tests....but I'm not promising anything.

Thank you so much for your concern. Each of us has different ways to deal with their problems--and if it moves to any kind of huge crisis, I do have my M.D (he isn't covered by my insurance) Hope that is reassurance enough.

Thanks for your concern and caring. Like the song says, I gotta do it MY WAY!

p.s. There are some sleep protocols I know....they just fell apart last night. sigh...
