Pain and fatigue

[Guest guest]

Greetings, ,

You're a really smart cookie, so you've probably already tried what I'm going

to suggest, but just in case--

--you've been on Cortef --a cortisol med? If so, perhaps your adrenals have

become *lazy* in that they don't have to put out the cortisol because you're

supplementing it? Just a thought.

--as far a pain and inflammation, I take fish oil and 800 IU of Vit. E every

day. They seem to really help. I know there's controversy with Fish Oil, but

it does help my constant inflammation.

Hope this helps,

In health,

BC

Thanks for all of your kind words and thoughts, guys. I really

appreciate everyone. I was really at a low point.

One confession to make - after a long chelation break I was trying

DMPS at every 8 h but I kept missing doses, setting the pill aside to

stop the round and then swallowing it by mistake, so kept going until

I was too tired to screw up anymore and stopped. The pain and fatigue

have been getting worse and worse during those months of not chelating

and that last attempt at a round was enough to take me over the edge.

Last night I started DMPS again, every 6 h with 4 alarm clocks going

day and night to prevent screw ups. I'm starting to feel a little bit

better all ready. (It could just be from all of the support

I _really_ don't do well when I'm _not_ taking DMPS. That's only part

of the problem though.

I've got my DMPS and supplements all laid out for the next two weeks

and will be examining the various suggestions. Diet is probably a

factor too because the change to the SCD added a lot of things I

hadn't eaten in years - like peanut butter, honey, more almonds and

nuts than I am used to, there is a lot of sulfur in all that yogurt

after not eating any dairy at all for 6 years, and SCD can be heavy on

eggs. The extra omega 6 in all the nuts and seeds throws the omega

6:3 ratio out of whack because I didn't increase fish oil. (It would

be possible to do SCD and eat vegetables instead of gorging on all of

the above).

I also got a referral to a physio and a surgeon for the shoulder

calcified tendonitis. That one has been going on for years but now it

is super tender.

And I'm going to ask to go to lymphatic drainage massage. Before I

heat injured I was having saunas and I think they helped. Now I can't

even tolerate room temperature so have to find an alternate way to

squeeze more toxins out. I'd ask about cranial sacral (I still don't

really know what it is) but I don't think it would be covered by my

insurance. I could always check.

Every once in a while I have to sit down and take inventory and pain

sure forces me to do that.
