S L O W progress

I don't know if it is the 3 months of integrating change (nutrition, supplements, herbs, chinese herbs, aneurysm repair, rest) but I am noticing even more positive change. The most recent to integrate is what the Dr. in Chinese medicine prescribed, and also adrenal caps (recommended by someone on the boards here) and also something homeopathic for the HPA axis. Yesterday I went on a very short hike, and also, went to the dance studio and spent 1/2 hour in the space mooshing around and even walking through a solo piece of choreography gently testing some of the movement out, remembering advice here to GO SLOW and TAKE IT EASY.

One can't get how sick they really were until life flow is back and you can remember back to doing the same things 6-8 months ago.

I think I see now how much I must have been using adrenaline to get through my life activities.

I decided, for now, to continue with buhner herbs while taking the Chinese medicine, just as a transition, and I am a bit afraid to stop taking the Buhner herbs because I've made good progress with them.

I will ask the Chinese medicine Dr. when I see him next if he thinks it is best to switch, or continue with what I am doing.

I am starting slow on his stuff.

What I am observing of late is my ability to manage stress has improved, in addition to more energy, and the headaches seem to have improved, and the vertigo has improved, the skin on my face has improved (my eyelids were sagging so much they were hanging over my eyes), so many things.

With that said, night times are still a challenge. I made the mistake of taking my last dose of cats claw and japanese knotwood after 8:00 pm.

Its better if I get my doses done before 5:00 pm.

It is amazing to me, now I am reading newbies posts, and I am now able to welcome and know a bit.

So much info. here!

Good prompt to listen to the body PeteZa...thnks!

Yeah for improvement!!

There was a time when my body alerted me that it was time to take my herbs. It had its own clock built in. I would start feeling "funny" and a glance at the clock indicated it was time to take my herbs.

I love how you used the word "funny". That's how I would describe it too. It's not really any symptoms flaring up, but just this over all "funny" feeling, can't describe in words.

I also noticed detoxing makes the "funny" feeling go away as well.

I wonder biologically, what this "funny" feeling is.
