Its possible, but does not compute here. The hibernating bear is not experiencing Horrific Internal Poisoning. Bear may come to and feel hungry, or groggy, or have slow return of muscle function...all understandable.
Is the hibernating bear's gut biota sick? Doubt it. Is the permeability of gut and brain: increased in hibernating bear? Why would it be?
Its hard for me to identify any aspect of this body which is: functioning normally.
Last night I ignored the Sickness Response Messages. I went out anyway. The level of horrible I feel today is a type of POISONED.
I totally agree. We have to listen to our own bodies from minute to minute it seems. This illness is not normal and if anything it feels like a life sentence in jail. It’s difficult to be be very clear when writing about this stuff, brain fog and all.
We are not bears so shutting down is not normal. It’s an alarm going off. I’m saying there’s some general features of this illness that make sense in terms of how the body reacts. Over compensating happens as the body’s attempt to survive...like auto immune response. So, for instance, I think I intuitively did aggressive resting when I first got sick and I think it’s helped me in terms of making progress.
So there’s treating the symptoms and maybe a few of us will find a protocol that works. And there’s all that we come upon in our quest to get well. Discovering I have SIBO is ultimately a blessing in a way. Although I hate another thing I have to attend to. I’m counting on the herbal anti virals I now take will be another stepping stone to my recovery. And I have to say it’s good I’m not a workaholic anymore.
Tha shutting down of our bodies is a clue. It’s the body’s response to right the ship so to speak. I’m maybe 25% better, for the most part, because most of the time I listen and respect where my symptoms lead. And you all here at pr have been my guides.
