I just wanted to say that I believe Monique has provided some real sound advice here with her suggestions. Our endocrine systems control hormone levels. Our hormone levels affect our emotions and can affect our degree of anxiety and stress. I believe it is indeed best to regulate your endocrine system through diet and not meds!
Controlling fear involves balancing your adrenal system. Again, I believe diet together with light exercise help regulate your adrenal system.
So, like Monique has suggested here, I also advocate to not take any outside meds if possible. I was on prozac for 10 years prior to this disease and now no longer take it. I see my diet as the reason for no longer needing anti- anxiety meds!
You have the heart of a warrior, Monique. As you have made clear, one day at a time is the best way to move through this.
God Bless You and Stay in the fight! Peter |
