6/29/18 started fast 6/27/18 around 8pm. So it's 2 days 9 hrs into 2nd fast and things are a little different. First fast it was about 1/2 way into 4th day that the pain in shoulders and neck got really bad and by that evening the pain was unbearable (meaning almost in tears and I would love to have knocked myself out somehow to escape the pain) so I gently broke my fast. Pain gone pretty quick after. This time no pain there, but excruciating pain in right knee where I have bursitis and have had other unidentified odd problems. Right elbow more sore than I think it should be - expected pain in left not right elbow - have tendonitis in both. Shoulder bursitis no more uncomfortable than usual and no more/less range of motion. But wow that knee - feels like it is being crushed to pieces under a boulder. Comes in waves of about 5 minutes max. Was every hour or so starting at 3am then put heat and infrared therapy on it at 6am and the waves were shorter and every 5 minutes for a bit then gone - no pain. Still hard to walk at first, then almost no problem. So of course I did some stuff around the house and walked too much. A few hours after stopping therapy the crushing pain is back but not as severe. Still hurts like a bugger but I can handle it at this level. Glad the heat and infrared therapy is helping again right now.
I really hope this is all the body's way of gathering up the cellular material that isn't right and disposing of it. I love thinking that the pain in my neck/shoulders last time was body ridding itself of damages to that area and that it was one heck of a fight and I won. And I love thinking of my knee the same way. That autophagy and other processes are ridding my knee of damaged tissue and bits of me that are not functioning properly and breaking that all down into it's components so they can be reused effectively and in some way healing me.
Side note on fast: I am hungry! Like non stop. Drinking water even makes me hungry! Oh well. So I'm hungry. Life goes on. I can handle this.
Drinking water and herbal tea. Munching on some PH salt crystals here and there. That's it. Looking forward to taking a total of 75 lbs off to lighten load on my knees and feet, gaining some muscle, and being able to walk the dog and hike some trails. I miss that stuff!!
7pm took 1st dose serrapeptase 40000 took 2nd dose 9:30 pm.
