HCG - Days 1-2

So HCG therapy is something that was discovered and written about in a protocol by an Italian doctor, Simeone. Essentially you inject pregnant lady hormone and follow a diet that my neighbor describes as that of "a Chinese peasant."

To prepare for this treatment, I had a whole panel of blood tests run and discovered that my thyroid is totally out of whack. Evidently the usual treatment for hyperthyroid people involves Synthroid which effects only the T4. The T3 seems to be the one that you want to get in line because it supports us more metabolically. Unfortunately Cytomel, the drug that treats T3 is expensive and not normally prescribed. But don't even try to tell me that I can't have my Cytomel. 

The first two days of the treatment, I injected myself with HCG. Right into my belly fat. It doesn't really hurt at all - just stings a tiny bit after the injection.  Then for two days, I get to eat whatever I want. I'm instructed to gorge myself in fact. Yay! So, gorge I did. Crab legs, champagne, butter, cheesecake, Orange Chicken, Mai Tai's, double cheeseburgers, pound cake, ei yi yi. 

I felt fine but at the end of the second day I just felt gross and ready to get on with it. So let's get on with it!
