Gains and Losses on the Protocol

Day 25 on the Deanna Protocol and there are gains and losses. In the 'Gain' column is moderate strength increase in my right hand, wrist, and arm. I have more energy on a daily basis as naps are infrequent and I can stay awake messing with my iPad until late into the night. I have had some strong walking days when I've left my cane behind and walked in a more normal heel toe manner leaving behind my lumpy duck walk. I even had a couple of dancing days.

In the 'Loss' column is that fasciculations continue and my left hand, arm, and fingers are weakening. Walking is also in my losses as some days I have really limped and staggered although, I suspect that is attributable to energy dips due to menstruation. (Yeah, I still do that.). I have also neglected my water aerobics since I am unable to deal with tampons. That's got to be affecting my mobility adversely.

I have yet to work out the Glutathione IV and we just realized that I'm not getting full dosage on the Ubiquinol COQ10. Additionally, it is very difficult for me to keep up on the hourly doses of AKG. At this point, any failure has to be attributed to me as I am responsible to follow the protocol as directed.

Also, let it be known that there is illness in my household as my husband caught some bug and is battling fever spikes and cold-like misery. I think my immune system is being taxed as a result. Let's hope that I don't get it and that my sole caregiver gets over it.

I picked pears off a tree that overhung an alleyway on my route home from school, then enjoyed the forbidden fruit. .I had a golden cat who chased a gray mouse through our living room sending my mother, 3-year old sister, and me screaming atop the sofa and chairs. We lived in a farmhouse and I watched Romper Room. A daddy longlegs skittered across my dirty kid legs as I teeter-tottered on a broken kitchen chair back. I played grocery store and laid out a bedroll for group nap time in preschool. We lived in an apartment attached to a bakery. My maternal grandparents visited and a photo was snapped. Grandma held Dawn and Grandpa held me. I held Grandpa's chin. Walking through the back of the flour-caked kitchen, I saw scrumptious pastries and colorful toys stuck in the cupcakes with my hungry kids eyes. We lived in a two-story apartment building next door to a large farmer's field.  That field was my
