well, these two weeks have FLOWN by and now it’s time to update on how fabulously I’ve been feeling. Ha! Not fabulous, let me tell you that first off. Oy. But we were able to have a lot of fun over the 4th of July weekend! Thank you to everyone that came to our first BBQ! It was SO much fun and we had such a great turnout! OH (other half) and I look forward to hosting another one. We also got down to Bend to see family and friends for a few days and had an absolute blast. Family barbeque where the kids just couldn’t get any cuter. Abby learning to swim in the pond. Holding a sweet little baby. Line dancing at midnight. Dinner with my parents and Auntie and Uncle. The fun continued right until we left!
Ok, I’ll quit playing with pictures and get to the update…. if you missed the first update, check it out!!
Overall Health: I seem to feel either really good or really awful, there hasn’t been much of an in between these last few weeks. My memory hasn’t improved, which makes remembering to take the treatment hard! Sleep hasn’t improved either. My skin has slowly started to clear up, thank heavens! The house is staying in pretty good shape , now I’m dreaming of working in the yard and cleaning my car!
Treatment: I’ve been back on the Samento for 10 days now and good grief, it’d be nice if I could remember to take all 3 drops each day. I’m doing good if I take 2. I’m thinking I’m gonna have to set alarms on my phone… Remember, I have to wait half an hr after taking it , to eat. AHEM. Not cool, because I tend to remember when I’m sitting down to eat. sigh. I Will get the hang of this because I’m not reacting near as strong as before. I have run out of Riboflavin though, so I’ve Got to get some today, remind me of that will you? hehe.
Migraines: This might be TMI for some of you reading this and I’m sorry… Due to it being that wonderful time of the month, my migraines have been predictably severe. This morning I don’t have one but that hasn’t been the norm the past week and a half. The pain has been severe, and stayed so most of the day this past week especially.
Digestion: This past week I seem to have gotten past my stomach freaking out at almost every meal I eat. Which is a wonderful change.
TMJ: I don’t seem to be clenching my jaw during the day as much – at least I haven’t caught myself doing it like I was. It’s been popping more the last few days, and is super tender in the mornings. Hard to chew harder foods sometimes.
Mood: I feel more myself although I still tend to overreact to the littlest things.
Sleep: hasn’t changed at all – still have to take Melatonin or Theanine every night. Still wake up at least twice. I’ve been taking a lot more naps since I got back on the Samento.
Brain Fog/Memory : Fog hasn’t been as bad as in the past but memory is deplorable. I’m still struggling to remember things I’ve always known, and to find the right word. Still haven’t been able to write much on my novel. Focus has been a little better in some situations, (able to watch movies now)
Daily Vitamins :
Still averaging 2 Clonidine a day (it’s been 3 a day these past several days though)
I’ve been trying to up my intake of Fish oil to 2 a day without reaction.
I’ve run out of Riboflavin, getting more today! Need to up my intake though
Seem to be doing fine off the Cordyceps
And that’s it! I’m gonna start working on the list of symptoms, I want to get it up before I go on vacation next week. This blog has wonderful info on Lyme disease, I’ve been following her for a few years now.
Do you have any tips on remembering to take the Samento? Or do you have direct experience with Samento? I’d love any advice!
Thanks for stopping by!

the start of a good life 
put stickie notes on the fridge with the times you are to take things. then you will know by looking at the clock if you need to do it. alarms on your phone good too!! make sure everymorning when you get up the first thing you do is have your notes in place. love u!!

Mentioning your period isnt tmi. It’s natural and ahould be spoken about freely in my opinion. How do you feel the riboflavin works for you? I’ve been taken magnesium for a few months and just started coq10.

I’m sorry I’ve just seen this! You know, I don’t know that I noticed a big difference with the Riboflavin. I’m no longer taking it… I liked the CoQ10 for energy! How has that and Mg worked for you?
