The basic sickness to wellness timeline

In the winter of 2011/2012 I was diagnosed with two sinus infections and one upper respiratory infection in a little less than six weeks. I took four rounds of four types of antibiotics. In most cases, I got better while taking the antibiotics but the infection came back as soon as or not long after I stopped taking the pills.   

Here’s a basic timeline, taken from my facebook posts. (You can read a full timeline of facebook status updates here.)

Oct. 4, 2011, I recorded being sick.

Nov. 24, 2011, talked about being sick again.

Nov. 28, 2011, first round of antibiotics

Dec. 5, second type of antibiotics because the first ones were not working.

Dec. 13, 2011, despite previous comments that I was hopeful that the second type was better, I start a third round of antibiotics.

Jan. 7, 2012, I start a fourth type of antibiotics. (This time I also get pinkeye.)

Jan. 11, 2012, I mention going back to work for an almost full day and say I feel better. I believe this was the time I was out of work for five days.

Jan. 13, 2012, I mention that I skipped rinsing my sinuses with the Neti pot for a couple days and wake up with a runny nose and sore throat, even while on antibiotics. (I think I started using the Neti pot around round three antibiotics, but I didn’t record that specifically.)

Jan. 26, 2012,I finish my last round of antibiotics but note that something is already “brewing” again.

Jan. 29, 2012, Out of total desperation, I decide to go dairy free.

May 29, first appointment with a homeopathic chiropractor in the Twin Cities.

Aug. 2, 2012, first appointment at the Center for Healing and Wholeness in Grand Forks.

October 2012, My “air diet” month while I take the herbal supplements in the Candida Kit.
