Have you recorded your blood pressure and heart rate, in a baseline, then at the time of the word salad?
My numbers are reliably much higher when that is happening. I resolve it with tiritating up on my Vitamin D and find that remarkable.

@jesse's mom Well i had my bloods taken just before winter here and my doctor told me to take vitamin D he checked heart etc. He’s actually a nice guy who listens, and has suggested a few things to try and help me. Today I have been for a sports massage to loosen my back and shoulders but he also did my legs. Right now I feel bruised but I know it will be worth it in a couple of days x

oh! good @Sarahloudobby , massage used to help me a lot!
These days anything longer than 10 minutes of massage gives me the flu like symptoms all over again. Sick for a week!

Perhaps if I had never stopped regular massage my lymph system would have been better... Stick with that! Good stuff!
