Thanks for posting your webite link. You articlauted very precisely my symptons of metal anguish and turmoil caused by enaging with people and also with ideas. They create huge amounts of tension.
I had chronic sinus as a child, to the point that I was operated on to remove them. The sinus was so bad that I would get throbbing pain in my forehead. I've also had major problems with breathing all my life.
I've had periods of chronic inflamation, where even my face would swell up.I remember starting a course of anti-inflamatories a couple of years ago which included curcumin and they really helped. Once the very obvious symptons of inflammation moved away I shifted my focus to treating the anxiety, fatigue, loss of speech, muscle wasting and muscle tension.
Recently I've been supplementing with colostrum 12grams daily along with collagen (spine was feeling compacted and joints very stiff) and this really helped curb loss of muscle and gave me a noticble sense of well bieng. I took a two month break from colostrum and collagen and the muscle wasting & tension returned with a vengence.
Since you've mentioned inflammation, I've been thinking that my brain feels like it's on fire, I've always assumed this was because of the stress caused by the state I'm in, including the chronic anxiety and how angry it makes me. So I've started researching anti-inflamatories and have come up with the following list to try:
Boswellia
Natural Resveratrol
Turmeric or curcumin
Vitamin A and D3
Sesame seed oil
Vitamin C (10 grams over a day) in the form of sodium ascorbate
Holy Basil
N-Acetyl Glucosamine
I've also found sodium bicorbate helpful with the muscle tension which leads me to believe that I have high acid levels possibly from respiratory/metabolic acidosis and I need to alkaline; lactic acid build up is probbaly whats happening.
I've found celtic sea salt (damp grey variety) helpful, mixed in water and sipped througout the day. It cleanses the gut, boosts the immune system and restored electrolyte levels which in runs relaxes the muscles.
I'm going to try this stack and see if it helps. Currently my anxiety does border on psychosis and confusion, and the muscle tension (including facial) is so awful that I constantly think about suicide as the only way out of this nightmare.
Regards viral testing and anti-virals, this is where I tend to lose hope. There is so much mutation going on, and antibiotics overuse has made the situation much worse. I live in a huge city, and uptill a few years ago I was rotating from one nasty infection after another. I managed to get this under control using supplements, but suspect that I'm still carrying a underlying viral load.
Thanks for the pointers, I've spent a fortune on supplements over the last 3 years, and after a while you lose the plot trying to figure out which of the many intense symptons you should be combating.
I'm currently focussed on the Gut connection, and trying to keep focussed on that approach. The inflammation angle is very useful alongside this.
