A Day In The Life Of Rocket

Years ago a buddy of mine had a yeast infection in his gut, he put on I want to say 40lbs and figured he was just fatter for a couple years. I wish I could remember the exact details...

I realize it's not really a helpful story...
We were talking with my wife’s Endocrinologist one day, and he said that many infections are misdiagnosed when a Doctor assumes an infection is bacterial, without doing a culture, but are actually a yeast or other fungal infection. So they prescribe antibiotics to treat a bacterial infection, which will not work on yeast, but instead the antibiotics destroy good bacteria and gut flora which can increase yeast in the body. And many times men think more of yeast as a woman’s issue, but in reality it can attack any where in and on the body in men and women. I’m not saying this is what your dealing with Rocket, just throwing that in there.
 
I appreciated everyone's help and comments !!!
 
For someone as dedicated to their workout and fitness levels you would think you would be more vigilant about taking care of your body. If not feeling well, and to the point that your wife brought up going to the ER, then go get looked at.

Tough Love brother, we don't need you expiring early over being stubborn!
 
I have a Dr. Appointment Friday Morning !! Funny thing is I feel great right now !!

that's how it always works! When my step daughter had the h. pylori she would feel good enough all day to hang with friends, go to school, thinking the bug had passed. But sure enough for a couple weeks at 1am my wife would be rushing her to the childrens ER while he puked bile! It was the weirdest thing. I started wondering if she had maybe ovarian cysts or other female issues because of where her severe pain was located and it was seemingly the pain that caused the nausea.

That was one of my problems, 2am I thought I was going to die, 7am I would feel pretty good and think I was getting better !!

maybe you do have the h pylori then lol! although I don't recall her having any kind of bloat

I’ve been guilty of the same a few times lol

I don't even know how to go to the doctor anymore. Been trying to get in for a couple weeks for a blood panel 😅

I need that I just call Lab Corp !!
 
WTF I didn't even know that was a thing. there's one 5 minutes from my office, i'll give them a holler

UltaLabTests

Order your panels online affordably & confidentially. Book an appointment, print your requisition to take in case there was some email snafu (the online doctor will email the orders to the lab you booked the draw appointment at), get results in a few day on their website.

Cross shop compared to LabCorp & go with whatever is cheaper for your needs. The draw will be done at a Quest Diagnostics if you use Ulta.

PrivatrMDLabs is another one to shop if you only have LabCorp, as they do both Quest and Labcorp, but LC is more expensive significantly.

Notes; Nutrition on point, training was good and I felt good, as the day went on the pressure kept building up in my abdomen and it's now very uncomfortable.

I'm sorry to hear that about the abdominal pressure.

I had a couple questions related to that.

You normally start the day off without it and it gets worse as the day goes on?

Some days your energy level is good but some days you're more tired than normal? Any correlation between that and the abdominal pressures?

If I remember correctly, you were sick or not feeling too great awhile back. Did the abdominal issues start during or right after that?

It usually is worst, when I eat more food, the less food I eat the less pressure I feel

I don't think so ??

Yes this was the start of it all November 25th
 
CEL Api-Plex has me sleeping like a baby !!
 
I just got back from the Dr. They ask me a ton of questions, took some blood, felt my belly and are going to order an ultra sound (I Hope Its A Girl ) !! So right now I know nothing ???

The good part is that it seems like they were thorough for the most part - a lot of people have to wait for additional trips before some doctors will do an ultra-sound.

Just one? I thought you were hoping for twin girls? 😂

She ask very good questions and was very respectful, I like they way she handled things !! That would be a Big No To The Twins !!
 
Well they just sent me to the ER my white blood count is over 330 what ever that means ?
 
Thank you! Going to look into this now. Are you dosing AM or PM @Rocket3015 ?

In his workout supplement list he said that he's been taking 1 capsule post workout and 1 capsule before bedtime.

Copy and paste: CEL Api-Plex (1) Capsule Post, (1) Before Bed

Here is a post to the intro thread here if you want to see some discussion on dosing, timing, etc.:


Rocket just posted some feedback on the last page of the thread earlier.

Me and my daughter will keep you in our prayers.

An elevated white blood cell count is a sign of infection or inflammation; which would make sense with the fatigue and digestive issues that you've been experiencing.
 
Well the diagnosis is lukemi?
 
I’m sure it will all be fine
 
Oh my goodness! Just dropped it to catch up! I’m so sorry Rocket! I’m praying for you!! Stay strong!
 
Thank you the power of prayer is a powerful thing!

Yes it is! If you’re okay with it, I will ask some of my good friends to pray too!
 
I’m so sorry to hear that. You’re in our thoughts and prayers.
