With that said.. I wanted to let everyone know whats happening lately.. but I also wanted to post periodic updates etc in case there's another person out there that could benefit. If that makes sense.. idk. I wanted to start by saying that everyone's bodies are different.. and what helps me.. may not other people. I accidentally stumbled upon something that seems to be helping tremendously. Maybe it's common knowledge in this community and I wasn't aware. Still reading the plethora of information on this site. I was soaking in the tub once a day to help alleviate some of this junk. About 6-7 days ago I ran out of epsom salt and was super bummed out. I went to the closet to see if maybe, there was some hiding. As luck would have it, there wasn't lol. But there was some gift sets I had sent to the wife and girls when I was in Africa. They were Dr Tesla foaming bath or something like that. It said it contained epsom salt, other junk and ginger. It was a travel size bottle.. so I poured it all in the tub. Almost instantly I noticed my body ridding itself of this. Next day.. I poured another one in. Same thing happened. I started reading about ginger and if people used it in the bath. Come to find out they do.. for a detox bath. Next day, I grated fresh ginger and put my usual other stuff in the tub. It's truly unbelievable what happened.. and has happened since. My sores are healing. I keenly aware that my immune system is still jacked up. But anything to help alleviate the physical symptoms is a breath of fresh air. I'm hoping I do t have another episode like I did a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure if this is common knowledge or a known thing... but it appears to be helping in a big way. I've never had a reaction like this with immediate results. Moving on. I speak with a shrink about every 3 months. Full disclosure.. I've had ADHD my entire life. I stopped taking meds when I was 11 or 12. Hated the stuff. About a year ago I was finding it harder and harder to complete tasks, remember things, focus... felt like I was losing control. To the point I went to that shrink, expressed my concerns and have been prescribed a med. So every 2-3 months we touch base and make sure everything is good. I had no intention of bringing any of this up... none. She was asking about focus and mental clarity etc.. I let her know I've been struggling lately and it's probably because I'm super slammed at work. Which is true. Said that I'm having to write things down and make lists or I'll lose track of stuff. She stopped me and said that when I first went to see her I was making lists... and asked if I'm doing the same thing again. I had forgotten that I told her that. So I let the cat out of the bag and told her a summarized version of whats happening. She was concerned and said she didn't want this to be on my mind like it is, and to get the referral to see the infectious disease docs and rule lyme out. I let her know that its absolutely consumed me as I've changed everything to combat this. She was pretty chill about everything and understanding... but I suppose that's what shrinks do. I'm super on the fence about seeing any other docs about any of this and haven't made a decision. A footnote - I do take ADHD meds when I need to.. its generally not everyday. Lately, I've been taking it daily. I still experience extreme fog... but I can't even fathom what that would be like without the med. Sorry for any grammatical errors... posting from my phone. See you all on the call shortly. | |||
