Lecithin is also supposed to help with mastitis; it dissolves the milk duct plugs.

Thanks for the tip - but she's been on lecithin since she started breastfeeding. It kept it at bay for awhile, but it wasn't enough. She's a milk machine - it's crazy how much these things are outputting.
She also tried using the jets in the jacuzzi tub to help dissolve it, to no avail. It also hurt her really bad to do so.
From the instructions on the product page,
"Don’t switch formats once you start, since different power levels will cause problems if you go from a more powerful format to a less powerful one. I discovered this when switching from hybrid to ultrasonic to go out to dinner one night. For this reason, I recommend that if you have to go out in public at any time while using MIR, using ultrasonic format only, even though hybrid format is significantly more powerful. Basically, avoid using masked formats if possible and use hybrid only if you can afford to stay home or play the audible version wherever you will be during the whole run."
I had started her on hybrid using headphones before my first post. Still good to switch, or no?

In her case, switch as soon as possible and up the volume like I said.
You know she's going to come up with any explanation possible for why it isn't the sub. Who cares if she believes it's the sub? Just use it properly and get her better. YOU know it works.
It's really important to use higher volumes and make it possible to use it 24/7 until 3 days after. That means if you select a format that will impede that,m you have to switch formats and correct it, but that will cause a hit. In this case maybe not, if she's been using low volumes.
Ok, I have us switched over to US FLAC, soundbar AUX (subwoofer & surround deactivated) using my new Neutron player app (which is badass, I must say). I got it cranked LOUD.
This will be good for me, as well. I noticed as I was blowing my nose today that I was getting some junk out, so I'm possibly catching something very early on.
First impression is body buzz, like a warm blanket. A little dizzy. My sinus cavity feels heavy. As I type this, my wife's starting to feel worse again. Fever is back to 100. Pain is up. It cycles, she says. This is the 10th time or so. I said it might take awhile, because of how progressed and nasty this case of mastitis is. I hope she feels a lot better by morning. I'm getting frustrated, though, because as her temp climbs, she's talking emergency room again. I'm not a medical professional, but I just feel like she's gung-ho on it.
When we go to bed, I'll switch the aux cable to my portable Bose Soundlink. We'll listen to that in the bedroom. When she gets up to nurse and pump during the night, I'll just get up with her and we'll listen together. It's that, or she'd have to play it on her iPhone speaker as loud as it'd go without crackling. I think getting up with her, tonight at the least, is what needs to happen.
Man, long night. Getting up 3 times for nursing and pumping sucks! My wife's a beast!
Or I'm just getting old...
I think she's showing signs of improvement. She's not as convinced (shocker). She's still spiking fevers. She has one now, registering 101. Still, not as bad as last night. Where she was shivering and moaning in pain, she's talkative and looks a lot better. The red streaking on her breast has moved location, and is smaller. That has to be good. She doesn't think so, but as I pointed out, it's not like the streaking increased to cover more area. It moved. Something's changing.
She's exhausted, no surprise there. I'm tired, too. I'm not sure if it's just from getting up during the night, from processing the subliminal, and/or getting over a latent infectious agent. Probably all of the above.
I still feel the energy flooding. It doesn't feel all that much different from DMSI, in my opinion - though I have had more heart chakra and solar plexus activity.
Anyway, progress. We're passed the threat of going to the emergency room. She still wants to go to the doctor and get a stronger antibiotic. I'm fine with that - but told her she'll have to play MIR on her phone full volume the entire time.
And, as I type this, wife just informed me that she's sweating again and her temperature has dropped another degree. Excellent.
Wife went to the doctor. They did an ultrasound. No abscess. Very inflamed breast tissue.
They added a second antibiotic. She's still alternating Tylenol and 800 mg ibruprofen. She still is cycling through fevers. She'll be 98.7, and next thing you know, 101. She still seems to be better than yesterday. I asked her what she was going to eat for dinner, and she said she doesn't feel good enough to eat.
I can't imagine what this thing would be like without running MIR.
I haven't had any of the thick sinus gunk I had yesterday, so that's great. Other than that, I just feel the energy flooding and an increased desire for sleep. But, again, I was up half the night.
"RTB, com'mere! Quick!"
::RTB runs::
"What is it!? What's wrong!?"
"Look! The redness is completely GONE! Isn't that CRAZY!?"
::RTB smiles wryly::
"Well, looks like somethin's workin'! Hit it from every angle!"
"Yep, something's working! I'm going to be completely better and pain free tomorrow! I'm SO EXCITED!"
::End Transcription::
I wonder how long it will take her to conclude that MIR did something. But remember... 3 days after all symptoms.
Apparently the jury deliberated, and they think my wife has "community" MRSA (from working at the hospital) in her breast. MRSA is some nasty shit! The clindamycin they put her on is so caustic that she puked up her lunch this afternoon.
We're both (obviously) still running MIR. Her fevers are gone now, still a little tenderness. I'm not completely sure what's going on with me regarding the program. The sinus thing never turned into anything, and I'm breathing clear, so that's awesome.
I got a text this morning from my cute little nextdoor neighbor (with the pool). She invited us over for a pool party. We stopped by, and I had no less than 4 different women flirt with me. Am I running MIR, or DMSI still? Lol. Stayed for a little while. We're going back over tomorrow to do some proper swimming. Hope I can hear MIR from my phone sitting on a pool chair...
You're running MIR 2 correct??
Glad you're playing it for your wife, it would have taken her longer to heal without it!!

Yessir!
MRSA is one of the primary reasons I am working on MIR
