Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I would think once your stitches are out and the incisions are healed would be a safe time to start taking baths. I don't think I would do it before that time. I know what you mean about detoxing, I'm anxious too, but am waiting for Dr. Leu to get my urine test results and then to find out what the next step will be. I saw a note from Patty earlier about looking for someone to fast with. I would like to try it, but I don't think I have the willpower, and I also think I should wait to see what Dr. Leu recommends for detox. I have a feeling your body needs a little more time to heal before you start detoxing because the herxing can really add to your pain. Bra shopping is horrible. I am not even wearing bras most of the time because I can't find one that fits me well. I am just wearing firm fitting camisoles. I know it's hard to just sit and wait, and you feel like doing something right now to get well, but you do need to give your body a chance to rest and heal.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 , I went to Dr. Feng as well, and since they put that waterproof type bandage on, I was able to take a bath once I got home from Ohio. Cherie - I postponed my appointment with Dr. Leu, I think I may have e-mailed you that I'm having something else checked out before I start anything else - but I do plan on working with him in a few weeks.
