Hello folks
I have not been around much lately... I have been too sick much of the time, and too busy catching up when not sick. But I have reached the point where I think there is some reason I have been sicker, and it's not just from overdoing things when I am feeling better. I am hoping maybe some of you folks can help me figure it out!
My life has changed a lot in the last couple of years. I have found that my health is a lot better if I spend winters in a warmer climate, and have arranged my life to make that possible. It is a lot of work, though, basically moving house twice a year. Most of my newfound energy goes into moving and recovering from moving.
But this year, starting around january, I have been not doing as well. I have had 3 multi-month crashes, and am in one now. Today is kind of an up day so I am grabbing the chance to post while I am well enough to think.
I have been trying so hard to figure out what has changed, why I am feeling worse. I am wondering if it could just be some sort of cumulative effect if I am missing something in my supps. Could you guys take a look at my list and see if anything seems amiss?
Medications:
Daily:
2x200 Celebrex
2 Claritin
1-2 mg amytriptiline
About 10 sprays Nasalcrom
Topical methocarbomyl
Topical arnica
Topical methyl salicilate blend
Supplements:
200mg magnesium
200mg calcium
18mg iron (I have IDA)
4mg copper (not the past couple weeks because nausea)
6mg zinc (not the past couple weeks)
1-2 mcg B12, sublingual drops or transdermal (yes, mcg, not mg. This is the max I can tolerate. I am like @caledonia)
scant niacin, transdermal
Vit D as needed
0-5 grams vit C as needed (currently 1.5)
Fish oil
Capyrilic acid
100mcg vit K (not the past few months, ran out)
400mg vit E / tocopherols, gamma-heavy blend
vitamin A
B vitamins
Trace mineral drops
Diet:
Tons of greens and fruit and potatoes cooked in oil. A little meat each day. Occasional eggs. No dairy for much of this year due to a bad reaction to some yogurt. Was starting to add dairy back in. It seems to give me increased muscle soreness, but I don't think is affecting fatigue and malaise. Not certain, so stopped again.
Thanks for any insights!
