I think we’re always unsure to say how much we’ve recovered. The quick undoing of all our improvements can sneak up and slam us back down for over doing it. So if I describe the 85% improvement I’ve been experienceing lately it’s with the asterisk * today. But it’s so encouraging to feel like I’ve reached a new normal that is mostly reliable if I keep up my end of the bargain. Aggressive resting, stress management, self control around diet and not over doing it are the have to’s
. Overall I attribute my biggest leaps to adhearing to the above and also doing some gentle exercise as well. The plan that worked for me Is striking a balance between anti microbials and probiotics. I follow a methylation protocol which includes a methyl multi supplement and sruff for mthfr which I discovered I have through 23 and Me. Dr. Lynch is very helpful. That was an important piece of the puzzle. Another big deal has been healing my endocrine system, adrenal fatigue and also hormone balance, testosterone etc. Now I take almost no thyroid medication after 30 years of dealing with a very difficult low t3 problem. Things like hydrotherapy, modified fasting have helped a lot but it’s taken years of slowly detoxing And then just really staying on top of some other stuff like gastroparesis and not having a gallbladder which requires a strict diet. I’m so very grateful for this forum and all of you that give so much of yourselves. I really can’t imagine what would have happened to me. Ten years ago i was suicidal and thankfully someone knew just how to reach me. She asked me this. “ we know this illness causes brain inflammation. Can you trust your thoughts when they’ve been hi jacked by an illness.” The thought of living with the pain was very hard to accept. To that she said when has anything in your life stayed the same. And of course she was right. 10 years later, I’m so grateful for all the support, all I’ve learned, and how much sweeter life is. Heart felt thanks.
