Lymie thing... Yesterday was pretty good energy-wise! My brain woke up earlier in the day than it has been lately! Meaning that the cloudy feeling lifted sooner and the mind-body connection was intact so that I wasnt dropping things, depth perception was better so no running into walls, stumbling because I think the ground is closer than it is, ...ya know, that sort of thing. (At least Im good for a little entertainment!) I worked for several hours, digging in Talbot County clay, pulling out roots. And last night I finished tweaking a landscape design. Just the fact that ADD me finished something is a major feat some days ...make that most days! However, I was not wise with my energy burst. Since I was not sleepy at all after watching the shows I normally watch on Sunday nights, I finished making the fabric softener I had started before the show began. That wouldnt have been so bad but then I moved on to finish making the laundry detergent I had started last week. I still wasnt sleepy and hadnt done the stomach crunches I TRY to make myself do every night so I turned the telly on again while I did them ....MISTAKE! Yep. A show I love and hadnt seen for a while drew me in. I got plenty of crunches done but didnt get to sleep until well after 2:00! This morning I remembered the holistic doc Shannon Colburn Cunningham and I used to see in Frederick, MD warning us about overcoming that feeling that Im having a good day. Let me use this energy while I have it sort of thing, because it will set back your progress and zap you for the next few days. Im kicking myself this morning as I sit here at 11:30, head still fuzzy! Today is evaluation day. Ive nearly reached the end of 9 months of treatment! Honestly, Im a bit more nervous than excited. Formulas switched last week and there was still some die-off effect, though it was slight compared to even a month ago. I was tired and weak, my thumbs hurt a little worse, and some of the brain issues seemed a little worse. I was more emotional, though there are other things that might have magnified that. Im still having those mornings and Im still having memory problems and trouble recalling words, the word-switch thing, etc. But none of it is anywhere near as bad as it has been! And as Ive said before, Im sure that the damage done has to heal. (Somebody please remind me of that!) I sooooo hope that I wont need another 3 months of treatment. Ill probably need some emotional bolstering if I do. But if I do, I do. Life will just have to be put on hold a little longer. I am trying to keep in mind that because of the blood/brain barrier, its harder to eradicate whatever might be hanging out in the brain. Ill update after I know the outcome. I hope its good news. My intention is to encourage others to get treated fully so I hate being negative. But I will be honest.
