Re: Slept by an open window

[Guest guest]

thats a good sign Tug and that also gives you a goal of what to work toward, if

you can get to where you can experience that level of felling better and

maintain it,thats good advoidance.

you well have unavoidable set backs/re-exposures but the main thing is

haveing this level of felling better as much as possable, it may take some time

but this well help you better handle the hits when you get them. reactivity to

some things may go down pretty quick, other things maybe not so quick, that all

is different for everyone. you well also start reconizing what some of the

things are that you are reactive to and hopefully avoid them as much as

possable.

taste the fresh air everytime I inhaled. When I woke up this morning I felt like

a new man and as I type this my thinking is so much clearer and I dont feel

nearly as bad as I have this past week.

Thank you Jeanine, every day is a learning experience for me. The weather here

has been unseasonably warm and I've taken full advantage of it by staying

outside as much as possible. If this second exposure is anything like my first

it should take a couple of months after I've moved to start feeling better. The

difference between this exposure and the first is Im going to gym and pushing

myself as hard as possible, once I finish working out I'll sit in the sauna for

20 minutes which helps more than I ever thought possible.

True. I slept outside on a balcony off the master for two months when at

my sickest in the summer of 02. It helped tremendously. I still sleep out

there occasionally. But now I just do it because it is so pleasant.

toxic residues from former tenants and mouse-killer, illegal drugs...

Still, the absolute best bet is to sleep outside when safe, not too cold, &

dry.
