Day 44

Ok, so it's the end of day 2 of step 3......I'm just happy to be done with step 2, I think I was going to throw up if I had to take one more of those pills....I can handle the initial 5 minutes of stomach pain, but if I didn't constantly drink water I felt like I almost had heart burn, like it was going to crawl back up my throat....nasty...and I just couldn't get that after taste out of my mouth. bleh, ew, gross! My off day was really nice, I still had the nasty taste, but not having to take anything was great. Unfortunately I had to go someplace public on my day 1 of step 3 so I had to take in sitting in a car....well needless to say I got some of the minerals on my BRAND NEW black capris and the minerals left orange bleach like spots on them. ARG!!!!!! luckily I could always go buy another pair, but I'm going to see if I can get some dye and dye it back. So frustrating. As if it doesn't suck enough that I have to take this stuff but I accidentally ruined my brand new capris.....otherwise it's been pretty easy to take, it does smell nasty. The other two steps didn't really have a smell but this one is potent. It's a very minimal amount that you take and mix with water or juice at first. Then you up your dose every 2 days, so it's like a much faster version on step 1. I actually feel pretty good today. I think I'm having an outbreak, I saw a few spots today but they don't hurt at all and they are pretty small so I guess I'll see what happens. Maybe they are just clearing symptoms. My warts have gotten bigger but I was told that that I could use step 3 topically. So I tried that today and it did burn, kind of a mild version of having them froze off. I hope it works. Not sure how often I'm supposed to treat it though, I guess that's something else I'll keep my eye on. It's really too soon to say ow this will effect me though, It usually takes a few days for me to really start feeling like crap. I got a sunburn yesterday so that kind of makes me tired, but really I've been feeling pretty good today and yesterday. I only have to take step 3 twice a day so it doesn't seem all consuming of my day.... The worst part is having to wait the 3 minutes when you mix it. It makes it harder to be inconspicuous when taking it.....Tomorrow will be my first day having to take this stuff at work, I'm sure it will be fine though. The weather has been really nice and I think that's really helped my mood. I have been soooo moody through all this, like PMS. I have had some insane rage today. It doesn't help that all my clothes are in a giant pile but I have just been so quick to snap today. I'm totally not like this usually. I can't wait to be off this stuff so I can be back to normal.....I feel really good today, aside from being tired with the sunburn.......maybe this stuff is actually working. They said that sometimes by step 3 you feel like the virus has left your body and you feel good. I still have some itching down there, but using this stuff topically will hopefully take care of that and I'll be good to go.....12 more days and that's it...I may do the extension depending on if the warts go away. I'm due for a PAP this month (june) so we will see, if the warts aren't gone I'm sure they will want to treat them, which would probably be ok. Except my insurance gets billed. oh well......still haven't found anyone I'm interested in really. I actually did find one guy, he has the body type I like, I don't really know him at all but when I see him I'm like mmmm...mmmmm..mmmmm.........kind of makes me feel better but I wish I could find love....and a guy with a body like that...lol.....well I gotta hit the sack soon.....So new symptoms

step 2: nasty taste in mouth
stomach pain
"heartburn"
nausea (very slight but couldn't be cured by the apple)
fatigue
pimples

step 3: acne on back now, large pimples on neck too
sensitivity to the sunlight (through all three stages)


but on the bright side I'm starting to feel better
Well my birthday is saturday and I'm kind of stoked.....so all is pretty good....hope day 3 goes well too, I up my dose tomorrow.
Step 3 is a little weird because you have a dropper bottle and then another bottle that looks like a small version of step 1 and you put in 2 drops which is practically nothing and then 1 ml of the other stuff and let it sit for 3 minutes. Tomorrow it goes up to 4 drops and 1ml...and so on.....well that's how it goes, so still hoping for the best, and hoping this is the easiest step cuz the first 2 were kind of a doozy...well goodnight, talk to you later

Day 40

Well I'm on day 6 of step 2. Tomorrow is my last day with these pills and I can't wait!!!! to not have to take them.....I feel like I want to throw up all the time, bleh.....I'm so tired, I haven't been sleeping well at all, having dreams about screwing up this detox...I always have a sick taste in my mouth too...not fun!!!!!!!! I need a nap. Well, I don't really have anything important to say today, other then feeling overall crappy and tired step 2 hasn't been that bag....almost triggers my gag reflex though.....Well tomorrow is the end of step 2 and friday is my off day before starting step 3.......should have 8 days to go, but actually have 16 in all.....more to come later I guess

Day 38

Happy Memorial Day!....so far mine's sucked. My cat was totally insane last night and would not let me sleep. Not to mention for whatever reason these step 2 pills have left and absolutely disgusting taste in my mouth and throat. Part of that was the reason I didn't sleep last night. Now I'm really irritable and don't have any tolerance for peoples' BS. Probably with the mix of being intoxicated by cigarettes and just not having enough water I feel like super crap and my skin is breaking out in pimples again. Just when you think you're done with that phase, you're not. I can't wait till I don't have to take this crap anymore, I just want to feel good and like the rest of the world isn't out to disappoint me, cuz that's exactly what life is right now. Being put on the back burned constantly... I think I might order a pizza or something, for the past several days I've maintained the same weight, and for whatever reason I gained 4 pounds. I'm planning a huge diet plan after I"m done with the detox anyway, so I might as well eat what I want right now, it seems to be the only pleasure I have right now.....well I'm going to go order something, I have a gross taste in my mouth....

Day 37

Well, today was day 3 of step 2....the pimples have kicked into high gear. The sucky part is that they are the big deep kind, but what's worse is that you can't pop them and it's almost like they just harden and stay there, not like they really heal and go away. Hopefully after time they will, but pimples in general are just obnoxious. I stayed at a friends the other day and the mix between not drinking enough water and the cigarette smoke didn't exactly make me feel very good. It's kind of funny cuz there is caffeine and a bunch of stuff in these pills but I'm been more tired than anything, wanting to sleep 12 hours at a time. My lymphnodes aren't as sore as they were. I've had cysts in my armpits for many years that were apparently inflammed sweat glands, when they get clogged they swell....anyway, I haven't had one in a couple years and having been on this detox flared it up again, that's probably been the most painful. You can tell there is a cyst in there and there is an open pore that you could essentially pop it, which is gross I know....but it's been too painful to attempt it. Anyway, still as unpleasant it is to have to take this stuff, which really kind of leaves a nasty taste in your mouth after awhile. Then again, brushing your teeth more frequently really isn't a bad thing. It's easier to carry around a bottle of bills then a bag of 3 bottles or liquid. Less inconspicuous too. The key really is to eat enough and then drink plenty afterward. I just took my dinner dose and only had a small amount of food....had the stomach pain for a few minutes, but ate an apple and I'm feeling ok...drank more water too, I think I was pretty dehydrated earlier so I need to catch up on my daily water intake. Don't you just hate feeling sick and then feeling like you're stuck at home. When really you don't want to go anywhere cuz you don't feel good.......almost makes you feel worse. The runny nose is starting to kick in a little more. I haven't really had a problem with it other than if I have my head down for awhile, but randomly one nostril will get kind of drippy. It's not really the kind of runny nose that would lead you to have to blow it. You moreso have to stick the tissue up there and absorb the moisture.....kind of annoying....this whole process is annoying, that goes without saying....The weather has been pretty nice lately and I went to the lake and just sat and enjoyed the sun and the cool breeze. It was just what I have been needing for all the anxiety I've been experiencing.....I'm going to make a point to get out and enjoy nature more....We are all vitamin D defficient anyway. It doesn't help that I've been super hormonal this week too......anyway, things are going ok, 4 more days on step 2. This up coming thursday will be the last day, friday will be my day off and saturday I'll start step 3, which is good cuz who knows how I'll react to that, and it's all complicated having to mix drops and let it sit for 3 minutes..I don't know....anyway, I hope this blog is helpful to people, I'm pretty positive about getting rid of the HSV, I really hope this gets rid of the HPV too, cuz that's mostly what's annoying, the itching and warts....so inconvenient......still have high hopes. Taking this stuff everyday seems like second nature now, it's going to be weird when I don't have to take it anymore. I think this has really taught me how to be better about taking things daily, like my vitamins once this is all over..... but one of the people who tested negative said to do as much to boost your immune system when you're done taking the detox so you can make sure it will flush it out of your system. I'm looking forward to having energy again.. well that's enough for today, I'm tired...

Day 35

Well today was day 1 of step 2. So it's 2 pills 3 times a day with/after food. So I heard some bad things about the pills that they make your stomach hurt and all that jazz. So I was determined not to let it get to me, so I got plenty of sleep last night and this morning made myself breakfast. I cut up and apple, and set out a glass of water and a glass of apple juice. I ate a cup of granola almond cereal and made 3 scrambled eggs. Ate the cereal and half of the eggs and took the first pill, drank half the water and half the juice. Finished the eggs and took the second pill, drank the rest of the juice and water, then ate an apple....Then I had that full stomach feeling from drinking so much...lol..go figure, and the stomach pain lasted about five minutes but it was very mild so I just sat down and took some deep breaths and then I was fine. I had the same really minor stomach pain after lunch and after dinner I was fine...I think making sure to eat enough and drinking plenty is definately the key....but don't let the pills sit in your mouth cuz it starts to taste like chlorine...bleh. Anyway...so far so good for day 1 of step 2....aside from other life drama things are good.....I've just had a huge financial burden thrown at me so it's going to be tight and stressful within the next few months.....and my birthday is coming up and it just seems like everyone is willing to get together but only if I plan it myself. all my friends are married with kids but me and I always get put on the back burner because everyone has a family, so now I feel stressed and unloved......I just feel really crappy. I'm tired of having a medeocre life. I started talking to this guy and I realized that I'm really pissed at guys.....I feel like I can't trust them. Just when you think you can, they give you STD's. They lie, cheat and steal to get what they want and I feel totally betrayed by people.....I'm a people person, I need to have relationships and I need to be able to care about others, and I feel like I can't and it makes me really sad. Now I'm going to be another year older and I'm going to feel the same way about the same crap....and it's just another year that my life plan is slipping away. I should be married already, or at least know who I'm going to marry.....but no, I have no one, I'm alone. And I'll continue to be alone cuz now I don't know how to have a relationship with people that doesn't involve being angry and hurt and scared.....Having STD's is like being raped..Not that I've been raped, but you have the fear of, who did this to me, why me, will I ever be able to trust again, will the physical and emotional scars ever heal......will I be able to have a normal relationship....and the secrecy of not being able to tell anyone. How did I get here? .....man, I'm on the last day of my period and it's been a roller coaster, I've been insanely irritable and today I'm really emotional......I hate being a girl

Day 33- Goodbye Step1

Ok, so it's FINALLY my last day of step 1, for real this time....What was supposed to be 25 days turned into 33. The strange part is that most of the time I barely felt the effects of it. As of yesterday though I've had this strong pain in the back of my right leg. For anyone who has HSV, this is a familiar feeling. I got it a lot more frequently before and right after I found out I was positive. Haven't really had the problem since but I think because I'm at the end of the these bottles and there are lingering minerals down there (that taste super gross and strong) it's probably really kicking in. I kind of feel all gimpy though cuz the back of my knee to my butt hurts. Oh well, the pain is worth it if it'll eventually go away... I've also had a lingering head ache, just enough for it to be annoying and make you want to take a nap...I have been pretty tired the past few days too. Not to mention it's that time of the month again and the hormones are raging.....and I really mean "RAGE-ing" I have been so irritable I'm annoying myself....anyway, only a few more days and hopefully things will calm down. I'm ready for step 2 and whatever it brings. I anticipated that I would be good for nothing throughout this detox and although I feel like I'm wasting my life away, I have hope of the over abundance of energy and overall well being when this is all over. I've been contributing to some really great hubs of people who are all doing the detox right now and it's been really encouraging. We are the next generation of a cure for this heinously obnoxious virus.....So it's only 11:30 ish and I actually haven't taken my dose today as I finished bottle A yesterday and will finish bottles B and C with my lunch and dinner, but as step 1 comes to an end, here are the symptoms I've experiences overall...

-burst of energy (first day)
-diarrhea (first day only)
-fatigue (throughout)
-bad taste in my mouth
-swollen tonsils which white spots
-102 temperature
-nausea (vomiting from high fever and nausea-only once) ibuprofin did the trick
-very minor runny nose (only when I tilt my head down)
-minor headache
-skin sensitivity
-pimples (mainly in armpits and on legs-small ones on face)
-sore lymphnodes in armpits
-leg pain
-minor outbreak
-increase in warts (HPV)
-vaginal itching
-feeling of severe dehyration

Things that helped:
-mixing dose with juice and drinking at least a full glass of water afterward
-eating an apple afterward
-ibuprofin
-getting plenty of rest


although that may seem like a lot of symptoms, it's all worth it if this works. Other than the fever, everything has seemed to be pretty minor...make sure to listen to your body and take it easy...tomorrow is my "off day" and friday I start step 2....so far so good...and still hoping for the best

Good News

So I e-mailed the resolve team and they told me that when I get to step 3 I can use it topically on the warts. This is going to save me so much money on treatments. So that solves my problem of whether to get the wartrol or have them removed, I don't have to spend any money at all...I don't really understand what they said about mixing step 3 but it's good news that however you mix it, it works...yay! Oh and for those of you who are skeptical I have been contributing to a hub if you google Resolve Herpes Hub it's called back to health minerals, illness...something....anyway, there have been several people who have finished resolve and tested NEGATIVE!!!!! Now that I'm almost finished with step one, I'm really optimistic that steps 2 and 3 will really do the trick.....Yay for good news!
