Hey, Morgan!! How are you doing today? I'm okay today. Just waiting for my herbs to arrive. Don't know if I really need them, though?? I stopped taking the holy basil because I felt that I didn't need it, and to be honest, it really wasn't helping me that much. It seems my problem is much bigger than any one herb can help with, which is why the TCM may be of benefit. I do rather well with ginger because for some odd reason it affects my mood positively. I read somewhere that it effects 5ht3 serotonin receptors, and this may or may not have and AD like effect. I only take 250mg per day, but I like it for some reason. I also read that ginger may act like an anti-anxiety herb because of its regulation of thromboxane levels. Don't know if this is just complete B.S. or not? The site was trying to sell herbs, so draw your own conclusions. Probably B.S. Anyway, I'm focusing more on antioxidants, the three best seem to be Vitamins E and C and selenium. Zinc, B6, and manganese are also important for me because I believe I am pyroluric.
I had a very strange dream last night that was like a safari adventure. It was very vivid. A group of us were canoeing on a river and the boat was literally racing over top a bunch of sea lions just resting in the river. At one point in the trip, our boat flew through the air and then we fell down into a huge lake full of alligators. Eventually, we made our way back up the cliff to the forest, and from there went on foot. We had a choice. Either go through a snake infested route or walk through a narrow corridor high over the lake. We took the narrow corridor, and it seemed like something out of Mario Brothers, jumping from rock to rock, teetering on the edge with the huge river far down below. If we fell, we'd be back with the alligators. It was an amusing dream, and I don't know what brought it on. I had taken some tylenol earlier on for a headache. Maybe it was that. I don't know for sure. Anyway, hope you had a nice weekend. I'm home alone today because my family went to a funeral. It's very quiet here, and I rather prefer peace and quiet. I like to sit outside on the porch and listen to music. I just bought a new Apple iPod and it's amazing how much music you can store on it. I'm really enjoying it. Anyhow, how's your fatigue today? Is the fatigue a constant struggle for you? Does it happen everyday, or just on certain days? Some people drink energy drinks if they're having a bad day. Did you ever try energy drinks? I've tried them in the past, and they do tend to give me a little more energy, but I don't make a habit of it. Just if I'm having a particularly bad day. Have you seen the doctor for your tests yet? Have you started the accupuncture yet? Would like to know if it helps you. I'm curious about accupuncture. Stay well!!Lao
