Positive Post - TWO HOUR NAP!

I never take naps, ever. They have always made me feel awful. But I was just so darn tired. The little joys of life, it's amazing. I deserved to get that extra sleep. I have been having such a hard time with sleep, being that my body loves the night and hates the day. I could never changeover to a 9 PM to 5 AM sleep, so I started doing close to the opposite. It's kind of worked for a bit, but I now wake to the sun as I am in another room, all because I wanted to be better sure that I was away from any mold. We STILL have yet to have an inspector come check it out, but you know... someday. I am still working on trying to find another place to stay, but seems impossible as my parent's house is full, my friends... Let's just say I don't really have any because I'm not into that life, and I cannot find anywhere local that would help, at least yet.

For the time being, I am going to spend my time attempting to get extra sleep as much as I possibly can. I woke up after this nap and was so hungry, I went down and washed off a pint of blackberries. Blueberries or blackberries, pretty much every single day, or at least every other day. Just nice to have had that little something. I don't see many plus sides these days, but to get some extra rest, it was truly amazing.

I am going to do my absolute best to pull my sleep schedule into the wee hours and keep moving back as much as I can. I used to be a night owl, but maybe it's best for me. It's always worth a try.

SIDE NOTE: I spoke with my primary naturopathic doc (also have a primary western doc) today and he works in the same office as my Lyme doc. Well, I explained to him that I believe I should be on a binder, such as charcoal. I told him my Lyme doc didn't want that and he said he felt that was wrong. He gave me the okay to use it as I please, because he agrees with me that I need to bind these toxins, especially have a HLA that repetitively sucks the mold/other biotoxins right back into my system. I can't see any true harm in using it at least once before bedtime, as with having MCAS it could help suck out the extra histamine residing in my body, alongside many of the mycotoxins, particularly the black mold in my body.

What do you think? I hope you're all having a great, but if not decent day. I'm not the best, but it's not the worst day and just thought I would share a positive!

Yes, such a small thing made such a big difference. It was only for maybe an hour but it felt like I could breathe a bit better.

I plan on finishing up some work on my computer and then I'm gonna go back to bed. I am still constantly on here asking questions, gaining knowledge and reading. Doing everything in my power to get where I need to be. You are always of great help. Thanks!

I am just trying to finish this food and it sucks having to take a bite every 5-10 minutes to avoid a panic attack/flare up. If I eat more than 2 bites at once, my heart goes crazy and it gets awful. I am just taking my time right now. Soon, when I am around someone that can help me, I will be trying vitamin C with my food and seeing if it helps. I recently found a "Salicylates, Amines and Glutamate Diet" PDF that I will be trying. The diet is so limited, but it's better to get some relief so that way I can properly sleep and recuperate. Then I can try and eat some of the other stuff to better gain from the other nutrients my body needs.

Addressing the whole thing with my doctors, it can be tough. Some have their own plans/protocols in mind. A good listener is a good doctor, all with the correct formula in mind.

Thank you!
