After a hectic few days and nights the storm seems to be settling today. The symptoms have ranged from energy to lethargy, optimism to pessimism, sleeping well and not sleeping well at all.
By day, all was well until two days ago when the flow started to seize up. I was having both pain and frequency by day as well as night. Yet the symptoms were not quite like the unrinary infections I had some years ago. So I upped the fluid intake. Two nights ago was very difficult and I felt almost at retention but pressed on with my tricks, (tap running, relaxed standing position, waiting and trying again), until I felt comfortable enough to go back to bed for an hour or less.
Yesterday I thought it was time to use the visualisations and breathing to the maximum. In my mind, lying on the bed last evening I called on The Team. They are my white cells and anything to do with my immune and repair systems. They are dressed in white overalls and have a number of tools for dealing with the Enemy wherever they may be found. They take instructions and requests from me rather than orders.
I concentrated on two areas, my pelvis and my prostate gland. First The Team and I had a very good scout around the bones known to be infected by the alien mets. A search party was then sent out to include all bones while the main party and I mopped up the Enemy and disposed of them through the waste system. Then we entered the prostate itself, arrested the Enemy still there after our last foray and disposed of them.
My next and very important task for the Team was to request a thorough examination of the wall of the urethra, (water pipe) where it passes alongside or through the prostate gland. Damage and compression were assessed and repairs started by the engineers in the Team. All this mental activity was supported by intensive bone-breathing exercises until I saw the bones glow with oxygen with each breath in.
Now you may laugh! But today I am much better. Not only can I PU with less discomfort and greater ease, I can usually finish first time, not have to wait and try again. Also my ankles and my lower abdomen which have been swollen recently seem less swollen today. I look forward to tonight in hope that I will have an easier time.
Diet today, as well as normal, low-sugar meals; apple, banana, grapes, raw carrot and cherries
