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 a boost. I felt very much my "old self" again. I will take it for two weeks.
I have to be intuitive about it. When I take something I just feel how I feel about an hour later and that's either positive, negative, or neutral.
I can drink coffee again (2 cups a day) which is great! If there is a Heaven I hope they have coffee there haha!
I can tolerate alcohol in moderation.
All foods I can eat. It doesn't matter what. No issues. But I am mainly vegetarian. Just lapse sometimes and eat fish.
Today was a hard day. Not much sleep. Busy. Very hot weather. 30 degrees C out there -in the shade.
A family member is spending a long weekend with me. He is an early riser so I will be challenged.
So I went out to the supermarket to get supplies. I felt just fine. But then there was a faint trace of that weird shakiness I got throughout this illness, after only 2 minutes in the store. I couldn't work out why.
I ignored it and carried on.
Not too shabby! Got all the groceries without my body doing a hissy-fit. I could even concentrate on doing a proper job.
Got back to the car. It was the temperature of an oven. (No AC)
So drove off to come home though my mouth was dry, and I was dehydrated. Silly me.
Got into the worst traffic snarl-up that wasn't moving anywhere, so did a U-turn and took a back road. Unfortunately that road led to a place where there was a long-standing road closure, so had to follow diversion signs.....and soon I was LOST!! There were too many diversion signs and I hadn't a clue which one to follow.
Long story short, it took me an hour and a half to find the way home, and that's one of my stressors....not being able to find my way on the road! Adrenaline rush.
But got home in the end and had a good drink of water. I even had to admit there was a part of me enjoyed driving those quaint country roads even though I hadn't a clue where I was going.
A LOT of stress, and a LOT of heat (it had to be in the low 90s) And dehydrated. But no payback. I honestly felt okay....well maybe a little bit tired after a long day and not enough sleep last night but not "sick". And could manage to go out again after dinner later to walk a half mile to feed a neighbour's cat.
That all has to be positive I think. Still....we will see what happens next.
