Feeling awful

Umm...I'd have to get to the store that's over an hour away for a protein shake I like. Sucks living in the middle of nowhere.

I have a bunch of frozen fruit. I could try a smoothie later maybe.

Eggs don't agree right now. I was ok with 1 food I had with egg in it. I wasn't ok when I tried some egg ravioli a couple days later.

Quinoa also doesn't exactly agree with me, though it's not as bad as eggs. Not sure I have any, though.

I was ok eating meat and poultry....until my first bout of Lyme treatment over 10 years ago. Then I started having violent stomach cramps, diarrhea, sweating, shaking about 30 minutes to an hour after organic meat or poultry. And a rash all over my arms. All went away when I stopped eating meat. Over the winter, my dad made some lamb...and it got really smoky in the house. The rash popped up on my arms when I walked through the kitchen.

I appreciate any and all ideas. :D

My brain is not 100%. Got 4 hours of sleep and am on a 2 hour schedule with a recovering baby.

I maybe am feeling a little better after my "lunch" of ginger soda and salt crackers.

Thanks LMCM!

Unfortunately it gets even worse. Still in shock. Let's just say I'll be able to sleep more normally now

This is kinda been hell week. First the shearer seriously botches his shear job....and now the baby is dead.

I haven't been able to eat normally all week from babesia herxing...and I'm kinda subsisting on fluids and crackers.

I got home from a food run, and my 5 year old mini horse is colicing. And I'm still watching her....being eaten alive by mosquitos.

I'd like to add my sympathies here for the loss of that baby. I've fought hard to keep babies alive too, only to loose them later. It's a hard world to live in sometimes.

I hope that your mini pulls through without any issues!!

I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with all of this, but I do hope that this will lighten your load just a bit once the mini gets better!

Awwww, so sorry...

Sending you peace, hugs, prayers and hopefully a restful nite...

:)

such a bad week/month. it never ends. hugs and more hugs.

i can't always get on here, it's just too much lately, but always, you and my other friends on here, always prayers for you all!

Actually, the oregano oil, golden seal and even the garlic have antibacterial qualities to them. I'm currently using oregano oil to treat a bladder infection.

So be sure that you are detoxing a lot!! You've just added to your treatment protocol!!

I think you're body is trying to recover from a lot of emotion that happened over these last few weeks and that you should pamper it and nurture it the best you can at this point. Sleep as much as your schedule will allow and work with your body to get it built up to tolerate more foods again.

And try to be patient as you go through this. I know that it was a very hard time for you.

Realize that you can't push your body to accept more than it can, even when we are just talking about food -doing so has always backfired on me.

Is there anyway you can isolate yourself more from your sister even for a few hours break? Can you stay in your room with the door closed while you work on reformulating your horses diet? Heck, I'd even take whatever food I was going to eat into my room if I had to.

And then remember that even laying down for a 20 minute rest period - and not working your brain during that time - will help you. That's how I survived for years, I would lay down for 20 minutes at a time 2 - 4 times a day while having a fully working farm with gardens large enough to grow all the food we would need all year (family of 6 at the time), and all the animals that we were raising for food, for their products (milk, eggs) and then the babies we would sell for profit & Home schooling 3 kids. I was lucky to sleep 6 hours a night, with no time for anything but those quick 20 minute naps. They really work if you can train yourself to clear your mind and actually just rest for 20 minutes.

We just came out of that kind of weather and that alone will zap a lot of strength from a person, so stay hydrated, eat what sounds good and you can get down, and rest as much as you possibly can.
