So, Sunday morning was ok, Sunday afternoon was not so ok, and Sunday evening was awful - weak, dizzy, etc.
If, in fact, the Aspartame Poisoning is the culprit, I tried to narrow down what I ate to see if any of it contained the poison. The only thing I came up with, is an ice cream bar I found in the freezer. I used to buy sugar free this and that and I think the ice cream bar may have been a "diet" bar perhaps sweetened by the Aspartame? I really couldn't say since it was not packaged for individual sale, therefore had no printing on the wrapper.
BUT, yesterday, I had an ok day. I had enough energy to vacuum a room and do a couple loads of laundry. After resting for about 1 1/2 hours in the late afternoon, I was able to make dinner. The rest of the evening was spent lying on the sofa since I'd zapped myself of any remaining energy making and eating dinner. I slept ok the night before so I think that helped.
Justin suggested I use my downtime to teach myself the piano since I own one! Great idea, but when I try to sit up on the piano bench, I just don't have the energy to sit up unsupported for any sustained amount of time. Maybe I'll roll a desk chair in there and try again tomorrow.
Last night, I slept about 6 or 6 1/2 hours. I got up feeling ok, made myself something to eat and sat down to rest again. But then I really started losing energy about 10:00. I stood up to try and do some dusting and just got really dizzy. I've been taking all of the supplements prescribed. I'm doing the Essential Oils Detox foot bath again while I'm typing this. I just don't know what works and what doesn't.
I'm sorry you aren't doing well. I will keep you in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura!
ReplyDeleteHere's what will work: come to Utah and be pampered by us.
ReplyDeleteDeal!
ReplyDeleteMom, often times patients feel worse after initially starting on homeopathics. The body is trying to heal and uses substantial energy to correct what is wrong. Don't give up on the homeopathics or supplements. It takes time and patience. There is no quick fix or easy solution.
ReplyDeletePs, I know it's hard, but the worst thing you could do is not move or exercise, by not moving you remove neurological stimulation
ReplyDeleteAnd essentially paralyze the nerves and allow neurotoxins that are built up to remain. Make Jenna go out with you or push yourself around in dads wheelchair. Also, don't hyper focus on the aspartame. You're going to create a placebo effect and possibly overlook other triggers that could be contributing. Did you ever call the clinic I have you the number for?
ReplyDeleteOk. I'm still taking the homeopathic supplements. Try to move around during the day. Do NOT have the energy to go out to exercise. I do a lot of stretching. Does going up and down the stairs 6-8 times a day do any good? Is basic housekeeping doing any good?
ReplyDeleteI'm still skeptical about the Aspartame poisoning thing. I am seeing the Neurologist today to see if I can get off of Tegretol and reduce the amount of Trazadone that I'm taking.
I haven't called the clinic yet because I thought it would be too hard to get into and I'm hardly there. That's why I made the appt with the HD here. She went through medical school and then decided to do the HD because she saw the problems with pharmaceuticals - at least that's what she told me.
oh...and also seeing the HD again this afternoon.
