I counted the days. Fourteen. Soon, whatever this was had to leave me.
I'd had some bad flu-like bugs before. I remembered that once many years ago, something I caught had lasted nearly six weeks, from mid-November until the fourth of January. And then one morning, I woke up feeling better and...
Part 2
Spring 2018.
My car isn't fixed yet. Something mysterious is happening to the battery, and it won't hold a charge longer than 24 hours. The mechanic is still puzzling over it and that means everywhere I go is on "Shank's Pony". That doesn't bother me much. Feet are reliable and don't...
My Story with ME/CFS.
Part 1.
March 2018.
It's snowing. Magic. They call it the "Beast From The East", but it's magic for me.
I embark on a 3 mile walk in a blizzard. My face gets frozen and aches, in spite of all my sensible wrappings. My eyelashes freeze, and I get a sharp pain over my...
In my last blog post called "Homeopathy didn't work", I mentioned I'd been taking a remedy which was Kali Phos. prescribed by my homeopath.
It made me feel suddenly worse. And the homeopath told me to stop taking it -which I did.
Then he prescribed me the same remedy but a different potency.
So...
Well I thought it was worth a try.
It was a very good -if exhausting -consultation with the homeopath (I think that was a week ago but have a strange time-warp effect going on right now so it feels like ages ago.)
He recommended a "tissue salt" Kali Phos. and sent me the tablets, which were...
Well what a mess I am today! Basically anxiety is going at about 80mph all day.
Now I am wired and can't sleep. It's 4am and I am deeply tired but feel no peace. I even did a "peace" breathing meditation but none of that can get through this iron-hard feeling that's going on. It's beyond what...
I thought I'd try out anti-inflammatory herbs as a regular thing.
I still have no firm diagnosis, but the herbs are worth a shot.
It is the most strange sensation, but all the way through this past 6 months, from DAY ONE, there has been an odd feeling that the smallest simplest little thing was...
For the past few days I have been in another "remission".
Which I am grateful for indeed. Things feel pretty normal again. I can relate to things with my (more or less) complete attention. Symptoms haven't been there. Nor has there been any peculiar extreme exhaustion. I have felt naturally...
About 21 August I started trying Echinacea angustifolia tincture again 5ml. 3 times a day, plus 2-3 cloves of raw garlic.
I felt that whatever had affected me since March had not quite gone away.
Yes, in July I actualy started to believe I was slowly coming out of it -getting gradually better...
I've been pretty down since the beginning of the month. A crash. Soldiering on. Feeling mighty weird and not right.
A few days ago I decided to give Echinacea another shot. That is Echinacea angustifolia root tincture at 4:1 (1 litre to 100g) alcohol to herb.
I also thought starting raw garlic...
I had to take my car in to the town Thursday and leave it there for MOT testing (law in UK).
I decided to walk home as I always have done every year. It's 6 miles but a beautiful place. I used to walk that way often with my dog.
It was a nice day. Sun after rain, with a breeze. A perfect day...
....It was a 3-week "remission", apparently.
But it's okay. I am trying to be positive though am disillusioned again today. Three weeks is the best there's been yet. I can only hope another one of these remissions will come and maybe that one will be the same -or longer? Dare I hope?
Busy...
Improvement update....
Well this seems to be sticking. I hope.
I am back to vitamin B complex maintenance dose (not very strong) a multivitamin and good food. That's more or less all I am doing, except I started Echinacea Angustifolia twice a day again since weekend. The first two doses gave me...
I don't know if I'm tempting Providence, or what, but I might be very very gradually getting a little better.
It's four months in.
I was never 100% sure what was wrong in the first place but it started suddenly in Spring, just after the snow, like an entero-headache-heart issue kind of thing...
