I went to see my specialist on Tuesday.  It was the second face to face visit, so this time he had some treatment ideas to start me on.  Before I get into that, let me say “WHAT a trip!”  It was a 6 hour round trip as he is on the other side of Melbourne.  We got there in just over an hour, had to wait an hour to see him (luckily they have big couches so I got to lie down) and by the time we were finished we got stuck in peak hour traffic into and then out of the city.

I have to admit that by the end of all of that, I don’t really understand everything he said, so you will have to bear with me…  The awesome thing is that he gave me a report with all the test results, findings and conclusions with a basic summary of what it meant.

I’m going to have to post everything in lots, as it is too much for me in one go, so the first one is oxygen therapy – as I have just had it set up for me.  I have to be honest and say I can’t remember why I am doing this, apart from that it is supposed to help with the chemical and environmental sensitivities, and increase the amount of oxygen in my blood.  Someone came and set up an oxygen concentrator at home, and I am to start with 5 min four times a day and build up to an hour four times a day… It feels really wierd, but let’s see what happens…
