\nI decided to go home in about 10 days. \u00a0My protocol will be only detox until I leave. – Jan 27, 2017<\/p>\n

I had a crashed after Jan 27, 2017 so I continued my treatment. \u00a0I steadily improved until mid-March when Gary told me the first time that my Fry Lab test indicated that I was good to go home soon. \u00a0But at that point I started to feel bad, and it coincided with conflicts with my formal roommate. \u00a0I moved out on March 19 to an apartment 12 miles away from SWI, and that put me under great stress. \u00a0So I decided to continue my treatment until I felt better, and another Fry Lab test 4 weeks later confirmed that I was safe to go home. \u00a0I was thankful during this period. \u00a0 Dr. Sponaugle advised me \u00a0to move in with Michelle (a new patient) into one of the Sponaugle condos. \u00a0My mother and I got alone with Michelle very well, and I started to feel better. \u00a0But until my last treatment on April 21 I did not feel too well. \u00a0Gary reassured me once the treatment stopped I would enter to the “healing phase”. \u00a0I think Gary is right, as I am now feeling better day after day, and I believe it will only continue\ud83d\ude0a\ud83d\ude04. \u00a0April 27, 2017.<\/p>\n
