Hi jan,
got your mail today.....nice to hear from you, and glad you still think of me as an English Odonis! he he he he! :-)))
Not sure how I'm fairing is the honest answer. I had felt that I was making progress but then had what might be described as a relapse (or perhaps its just part of my cycling process?) where I felt real crappy for a week and a half. Now seem on the up again and today, probably had the best day I've had in some time!
During the down period I feel very disconnected from everything (derealisation?) and am so irritable, angry, I could find fault with a lottery win! :-( Also sleep goes kinda wierd too. I get to sleep ok but then wake after what I imagine is one REM cycle of 3 or 4 hours feeling very agitated and anxious and then spend the rest ofthe night sleeping just 10 to 30 minutes at a time, broken by wake spells of extreme anxiety. Oddly the cycle ends abruptly with a decent full nights sleep and a general improvement the next day. Still have no idea if this is some from of cycling (doesnt seem to be any regular pattern to it) or if its in some way allergy based, but again I'd be at a loss to guess what the trigger might be. All I know is the bad spells really are about as near to hell as my mind could imagine! Fortunately however I don't feel like this all the time and when I do feel that bad, I can cling to the reality that it WILL pass and days like today will come along at some point.
From what I've read, histadelia is something which requires a long term treatment plan to see any results so will continue it religiously for another 6 months and see how I go.
For the record (and anyone looking in new to this thread) I am taking....
100mg B6 once a day
500mg methionine once a day
600mg calcium once a day
30mg zinc once a dayThose 4 are the basis of the hisdalelia treatment plan. On top of these I also take the following....
120mg lithium orotate (needs using up and thought it might be a useful addition)
500mg TMG (again, needs using up and thought it might make a useful adjunct to the methionine)
163mg magnesium with 1000mg taurine (to balance the calcium)
200ug selenium (good mens health nutrient to take)
The lithium ius finished in 7 days and the TMG in 17 days so both will be discontinued at those points. I'm hoping their exclusion makes no difference to my progress.Been buying lots of seeds and seedlings this weekend (its the easter holiday here this weekend)and am genuinely looking forward to the summer and getting my veggie plot planted and watching my hard work bear fruit. Now the sheer fact I'm looking FORWARD to something is a step in the right direction. :-)))
Still waiting for that piccy by the way ;-))
