Please help. Stressful test on Friday how to prepare

Hi,

I'm scheduled to have a neuropsychiatric test Friday. I'm only doing it to keep the SSDI application going in the right direction. I know this will be stressful mentally. Stress destroys me, even going to Dr appointments takes me 2-3 days to recover. Any advice on how to deal with fallout. Extra detoxing (does that help with stress?, extra supplements, anything?

Thanks.

Thanks Trav, good advice as always. I'll start uping the detox today. I have hubby on alert for the fall out. Should I take it easy before (exercise causes herxing but I do it anyway), maybe just the day before? The appointment is at 8:30 am, lasts 1-5(yeah, right) hours. Thanks again.

I can so relate to stress. I do it really well. I can even fool myself mentally when I am stressing but now with lyme, there is no fooling.

Get your plate completely cleaned up by Thursday. Have absolutely no chores to do on Thursday. Make Friday a doctor day and that is it! Grab take out healthy food if you have to or pre-make easy meals. Thursday treat yourself to a relaxing day of movies and tea. Do deep breathing and have some quiet time where you envision a pleasant place.

Spoil yourself!!

I read this and maybe it will help you.

How come when we are asked to name a list of people we love we don't name ourselves?

Hugs, and wishes of calm for you.
