How in the world can September already be almost over?! Although, the coming of all things pumpkin and fall does help ease the shock of it 😉
Overall Health: since getting back on the majority of my vitamins/supplements I’ve been better – comparably. For about a week I was stuck on the couch due to unbelievable weakness and exhaustion. I haven’t been quite so negative. I haven’t had to nap so often lately, but sleeping at night has been really rough. I’ve been able to walk the dogs a few times a week, which benefits all 3 of us.
Treatment: I went in to my doctor the beginning of this week and we changed up what I’ve been taking, and she sent me home with several new things to start! I am currently off the Xiao Chai Hu Tang (possibly the cause of my extreme exhaustion last week) and have started taking Silver. (yes, silver! apparently while it’s very gentle on you, it kills things, who knew?) Tomorrow I start taking EHB, then if I don’t react negatively to that, 3 days later I start Garlic pills (oh joy). 3 days later, Vitamin E and then, you guessed it, 3 days after that, Copper pills. She’s also told me to start drinking 1 TB Apple Cider Vinegar in the mornings.
Migraines: Killer. They have been going from a 5 to an 8 (or higher) in the blink of an eye, making thinking (and anything else really) incredibly difficult.
Digestion and TMJ: Neither have changed here-which means they aren’t that good… but while my jaw has been hurting a lot, it doesn’t pop as much as it used to! Silver lining right there!
Mood: It’s been better overall this past month, thank goodness. I feel like I mostly am back to myself although I do still feel a tad anti-social
Sleep: Except for the past few nights, it’s been atrocious. Of course, the nights I do sleep better I have nightmares..sigh.
Memory: Once again, it hasn’t improved but aside from freaking out late one night because I couldn’t remember words to songs that I’ve known for ages, I haven’t noticed any worsening.
Daily Vitamins:
Clonidine – for most of this month I was taking 3 a day but since Sunday it’s backed off to 1 or 2 !!!!!
off the Xiao Chai Hu Tang
Pulsatilla and Belladonna – finally got some more of these amazing tinctures!!!
Here’s a full list – although I will have to update this next month!
Stick around and check out my other health updates!
Next week is the monthly Book Review, come back and check it out!
Have a fabulous Fall weekend,
Laura
Have you been checked for an aneurysm? I had a cousin who started complaining of horrible headaches and they discovered she had one but she died headed in to surgery as it burst. Also check for brain tumors. My sister-in-law was discovered to have 3, all caused by Cushings syndrome, and had to have them removed after having suffered a long time.

oh that’s terrible, I’m so sorry! Thankfully my migraines stem from Lyme Disease, which, while it is horrible, it isn’t life threatening. Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment!
