Yes, my blood is Kvlt. No, it really is.... (pics included)

It’s been about a week since my treatment. We only did my right knee because Dr. B didn’t think it would be a good idea to do both of them the first time. I’m moving around fine, but my knee still hurts if I stay on my feet long. It’s bruising a lot, but the swelling is pretty much gone.


The whole thing went well. We started without the deep anesthetic, but once he hit some nerves about halfway though we went ahead and did it. It hurt more than I was expecting, but still wasn’t terrible. Turns out my right knee is more lose but my left one has more grinding when it moves…so we’re going to focus more on them now (and my wrists too).

Dr. B had the results for the spit test back when we got there. Turns out I have ‘heavy metal toxicity’. It looks like Cadmium, but I think we’re going to do a hair test to make sure. It’s keeping my cortisol levels VERY low…like 80-year-old woman low. Dr. B said that if I was 80 it wouldn’t be a big deal, but he would still do something to boost it; but since I’m 18, it’s not good, and we need to get it fixed. He’s taking my case to another doctor to get his opinion on what the best thing to do would be, and then he’s going to let us know. He said I’d have to do a detox to get it out of my system…but I have no idea what that will involve. After that I’ll just have to take something to keep it from affecting everything so much, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. I’ll update when I find out the plan.
