Hey mary,

WELCOME!! You came to the right place for some MAJOR SPII support!
I am also part of the group who "GAINS" during the healing process. I gained about 8lbs in the first week and my energy went downhill. It's been about a month since starting the healing program and most of my energy has returned, I'm not drinking coffee anymore --(just a little green tea in the morning) My weight still flucuates (but it has never gone above the initial 8lb gain.)
I realized that I was sweating again about a week and a half ago. It was at work, I was in A/C but I was still sweating (normally.) Then that same evening I took my dog for a walk and lo and behold I had sweat marks for the first time in a LONG time. It was a GREAT discovery.
I wish you LUCK on your healing journey -- Please stop by my journal if you'd like!

Welcome!!
