Great thread!
FWIW, earlier this year I had an impacted tooth removed and used Nitrous Oxide (had used it
way back in the 70’s, recreationally with a close personal friend, a Dentist - for short highs, laughs).
This time was completely different. It did it’s job of minimizing focus on hammering and chiseling
BUT it brought on a very clear period of remission - like getting back what I remember of my
pre-PWME self. It was not a high nor euphoria - just clarity, even to what was going on. I made a note to pursue the dynamics of the state of mind but it drifted away along with medication’s effects later that day.
I recall reading Goldstein’s book back in the 90’s, when I was willing to eat pine cones to make this DD go away
('still am).
I took it with me on a visit with my then MD, a kindly old soul, endocrinologist willing to help. We went over the list
of 23 and he shook his head ‘no’ on each - especially the Oxytocin, thinking this guy was a quack! I remained open minded but could not access him (Dr. Jay). So, back to the then Cheney protocol.
However, if memory serves me correctly, I believe the old ‘CFS Chronicle’ (aka, later the ‘CFIDS Chronicle') did some articles with Dr. Goldstein early on. It seems the responses were also ones of incredulity and were dismissed (likely
for political reasons). [They would likely be searchable in the Archives section of the 'Chronicle's' morphed status, maybe research1st.org or cfids.org?]
So, hold that order of pine cones. I’m off to find some NO, or its precursors. Please continue the ideation for
what might be feasible (and legal), with the exception of an ongoing tooth extraction program=~&
