My lip looks worse today. It looks like a damn diaper rash on my top lip. It even spread to the right side of my top lip. I really pray that this is not Herpes because I only have HSV2...
This morning and this evening I soaked my lips in some hot salt water. It really seems to help, but it has not gone away yet. It is not that noticeable to others, so if it stays like this, then I can handle it. I am just nervous it will get worse and become some huge massive crusty mess on my lips... how attractive!!! I also bought some stuff for a cold sore that you apply only one time, so I will put that on tonight and see how it looks in the morning.
My tingly is so mild that I forget it is there most of the day. No bumps or blisters or anything gross, just a slight tingle down below that has been there since Step 2.
I canceled my date tonight because I am so self conscious with my lip. That is all I need is for my date to sit there and stare at it all night. How MF embarrassing!!!
I have been debating on whether or not to take the 4 day extension. I know in the back of my mind that I would like to know that I did everything possible to rid myself from this virus, on the other hand, I still get very nauseous with my morning dose. I cannot explain how sick I feel after taking my morning dose. Also going 4-6 times a day is really taking a toll on me. I am so scared of what other symptoms will occur as the dose increases with the 4 day extension. So I decided to email Resolve and see what they say. I will update my Journal tomorrow with what they recommend. I really hope that I do not have to do the 4 day extension, but if they suggest it, I will do whatever possible to become H-Free!
Off to get some rest now...

Step 3 Day 11
My lip still has those tiny little bumps and feels slightly bigger today. It is located where your two lips touch when you close your mouth... right there on my top lip. I went to Whole Foods today and bought some Oil of Oregano. I heard if you put that on your lip, using a Qtip, it would go away pretty fast. More to come on the fat lip issue!!!
I increased to 12 drops at 5ml today and boy did I feel it this morning. I felt extremely nauseous and had a slight headache. I had to sit down for a moment because I was extremely sick... yes of course nothing like the first day of Step 3, but enough to make me sit down for a moment. I ate a few crackers and a Grande coffee with an extra shot of espresso. That helped within 20 minutes or so.
So far today I went to the bathroom 4 times. I need to remind myself to stay hydrated because that sore on my lip could mean that I am dehydrated.
I still have the tingly down below. Not sure why that won't go away, or if it ever will. It could be nerve damage???
My nose is still runny...
Let me end on one positive note here... after work I get this burst of energy. I feel really good and energized. I am sure all the toxins that I have released are making my body feel really good. If Resolve is a scam, it surely is a damn good detox.
Tomorrow I remain at 12 drops, so usually the second day is much better.
3 Days Remain!!! I am considering the 4 day extension.

Step 3 Day 10
Let me post a quick update for yesterday and today.
Yesterday I increased my dose to 10 drops and let me say... I went to the restroom 5 times. Other than that, nothing new to report.
Today I remained on 10 drops and only went twice thus far. I have noticed that on my top lip, on the inside but close to the outside, I have several little tiny bumps. I have never had any sores or anything on my lips, EVER. I only have HSV2, so I am really nervous as to why I have these. I hope that Resolve did not spread this to my lips...
I still have the very slight tingly feeling down below. It has been constant since the end of Step 2. I am not sure why I still have that tingly down below. It is not painful, nor are there any bumps or anything, just a slight little tingle. I have read somewhere that the virus infection site, where the virus enters your body, creates nerve damage on that spot. The tingly is always on that same little spot, so I believe that this is true. The article said that the feeling never goes away because it is the nerve damaged. I wish I could find where I read that because I have been telling people about that, but yet to find them the article that states this.
Anyway, that is all for my updates. Tomorrow I start 12 drops and look forward to lots of "movement." If the tingly remains, I may go ahead and do the 4 day extension just to be safe.
4 More Days... YAHOOOOO!!!!!!!

Step 3 Day 8
Wait a second... does that say Step 3 Day 8 in the title? Hell MF yes it does... I only have 6 more days left of this crap (yes literally).
Let me state that yesterday I went to the bathroom 6 times. Today, I am on my second day of 8 drops at 3ml and thus far only went 3 times. I think the first day of increasing my dose is when I get weird symptoms. Tomorrow I increase my dose to 10 drops at 5ml. I am anticipating a lot of movement tomorrow with the dose increase.
For those who may not be taking Resolve, let me explain how I mix step 3. First I use a glass, nothing is allowed except glass, and squirt 8 drops in the glass. There is a second solution in which I add 3ml to the glass. I swish the mixture in the glass and let it sit for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, I use Martinelli's Apple Juice. You must only use an all natural, no vitamin C added, juice to the mixture. I swish the concoction and down it. I then chase it with a glass of water. The mixture smells like a swimming pool. It taste like I am drinking bleach mixed with my Apple Juice. It is horrible, but I do not think about it when I take it. I hold my breath and chug it and chase it with a glass of water. It is really no big deal for me, but others complain about the taste.
My symptoms as of today are:
1. Runny Nose (yes, my runny nose is back)
2. Diarrhea
3. Tingly still exist down below
4. Very mild backache and neck pain
I can tell that I am getting immune to Step 3 because each day I feel a little better. My breakouts look great! My ear is doing fine... no more pain. My bloated stomach is almost back to normal. This is probably because everything is running right through me.
Let me state, for those who may have missed it in a previous post, I am finished Resolve on January 20th. I am going to test on January 21st to see where my numbers are after completing Resolve. I have followed the treatment to a T. I have only had HSV 2 since around July 08 and my numbers were really low, 1.70. I never have outbreaks, just a little tingly down below. I think that many people have different strains of the virus and need different strengths of Resolve, or extended doses. I will then take my 90 day post Resolve test as well. I truly believe that Resolve will cure me, but only time will tell.
That is pretty much it for today's update. Six more days...

Step 3 Day 6
Nothing new to report this evening...
My ear is not clogged anymore, but the slight pain still exists. It seems to be healing just fine.
My face is still looking good...
This morning after my first dose I hit the nasty "runny" stage that everyone speaks of. That was the first time that I had to go so quickly since being on Step 3. My second dose I did not have to go at all.
My nose is still runny. My headaches, backaches, and the tingly are all very mild. A big improvement for sure...
That is pretty much it for this weekends update.
GO E-A-G-L-E-S!!!

Step 3 Day 4
Today was a lot better than the first 3 days of Step 3.
My ear was still clogged this morning and had the same slight pain running from my ear down my neck. I decided to pour some peroxide in my ear and tilted my head to the side for around 5 minutes. The bubbling was really loud! I then took my blow dryer and let the warm air dry my ear canal. I then put more of the warm Garlic oil and a cotton ball in my ear. Around lunch time I removed the cotton ball and my ear was still clogged, and still had the slight pain. I decided to take a nasal decongestant. Around 30 minutes later my ear popped. I could hear again, but it was not 100% clear. I decided to leave the cotton ball out and let my ear air out.
Around 5pm I took a second dose of decongestant. My ear is still unclogged, but the slight pain still remains. I think this is a great sign though. I am going to do the peroxide, blow dryer, and oil treatment again tonight before bed. I am hoping that I will be good to go tomorrow. Saturday night is club night, so I hope the pain goes away.
Besides my ear, today I have been a little itchy down below. I am assuming that this is what is expected while clearing.
My nose still runs and my back hurts. However, my headache is very mild and there is no more nausea.
I have been curious as to why I have not hit the poop stage like others claim that step 3 is all about. I have used the restroom as I normally have since on step 3, so that kind of had me wondering why I am not pooping like everyone else. I never had a poop problem, so I am assuming that since I am normal, that the toxins and virus will come out with my normal poop.
Then tonight I took my second dose of 4 drops at 1ml and I immediately had to go. I know this sounds gross, but it was really fowl smelling. I am glad that I was not at work, or had any company over. LMAO
My face is back to normal. Wow, it looks really good again and I am so happy and confident again. There are two spots that scarred, but hopefully they will fade. My chest looks great, but my back still has a few red bumps. One of my g/f's gave me a massage last night and was asking me why my back is broken out. I just told her it was the detox. She doesn't know that I have HSV2, she just knows that I am doing a detox.
Tomorrow I start 6 drops at 3ml. I am a little worried with my ear infection. I am not sure if it is severe congestion causing the ear infection since the pills are helping. I am curious to see how increasing the doses will affect my ear. It is slowly healing so I really hope that it doesn't trigger more pain as the dosage increases.
So, my ear is the only major side affect right now. The aches and the itchy down below are mild, so I can deal with that, but the ear... ughhhh!!!
