Continued Reaction Context
Yesterday’s antibiotic reaction is over, but I am still experiencing the after-effects as the symptoms continue. One of the things the response has highlighted is just how important it is to listen to our bodies. Dr Jay is so good when it comes to my health. She listens to how I approach healing and prescribes the suitable medication should I need it.
Firstly, since I do not want to use “Google” as my source of analysis, I consult my doctor once I’ve tried to give the healing a go. If I haven’t gotten rid of the ailment within that time, this is the point where I schedule an appointment. The reason I set the meeting is to keep what’s happening to my body on record. It’s less about obtaining a prescription or referral.
The arrangement we come to follows an agreed path to my recovery. In a previous instance, Dr Jay decided to allow me two weeks to heal myself; if things worsened, I would fulfil the prescription and proceed from there. It’s an excellent way of working with my doctor instead of simply accepting what the doctor says. It does help that she has also and is also studying alternative, complementary therapies.
But today, the side effects like the headache continues, my gums still hurt but to a lesser extent than yesterday, and the spotting has stopped. It’s crucial to listen to your body for signs of change. The lessening of these signs, for me, are improvement signs. I’ll keep monitoring closely to ensure my body’s recovery is in the direction I want it heading.
Today's Cards
The Cards - Reaction Analysis
Carryover Cards
Two cards carried over from yesterday; Intensity didn’t move but stayed in the Hopes & Fears position, Thunderbolt moved from Now to Outcome, signifying that another physical change is afoot.
Cross
My Conditioning in the Distant Past, no reactions to antibiotics, had me believing that I was immune to the side effects of antibiotics.
The Creator’s experience in the healing Now and working with people in the medical profession helped me identify the best course for my recovery. And The Lovers typically means a harmonious relationship or connection and their influence on today’s Recently Passing Healing.
As for the Goal of Fighting means the side effects of the antibiotics put me on reactive alert. And this might cause me to “explode” at the slightest misstep or misunderstanding, for instance.
The good thing about the cards is Harmony is in Future Energy, hinting at things getting better.
Base
At its core, I have Feelings of gratefulness for the prompt response and Guidance given to my concerns.
For some reason, I’ve given the appearance that I’m two-faced or hypocritical when it comes to my health. And it’s certainly possible for Others’ Views to interpret Politics in this way. Maybe Dr Lee made inferences from my locking down my health file.
Quite frankly, I’d never considered locking it down to just Dr Jay would be a problem. You know, it’s complicated about how this happens in Australia, so for the time being, I think we’ll give it a miss. Suffice it to say, Dr Lee was unable to access my medical files.
The Intensity card remains in the Hopes & Fears position from yesterday (Day 220). And like yesterday, I hope my energy levels will return. Sometimes, you fear it will take too long for something to happen from a gloomy and impatient perspective, which gives you the impression it will not happen.
Thunderbolt is in the Outcome position and signifies a change in the physical state; presumably, I am continuing to heal, overcoming the reaction, and my energy will begin to return.
Note: by now, you know that I don’t use real names of individuals; this includes doctors too. Not to mention, I also routinely create composite characters. That is, people made up using characteristics from different people into a single identity for storytelling purposes.
