Great your trip was a success over all DJ ,love the picture .Disaster with the GPS but you did well to conquer through  the task and get home .

Be watchful for the next few weeks and take it easy and rest as much as you can and give yourself a big pat on the back .nice gentle walks should do the trick .

Take care.

Hi Dj, How are you? Long time i never hear from you. Beautiful natural picture. Great to know you are really enjoyed your Scotland trip with your familys as well. Dont over do it some exercise when you feel over exhauted. Sometimes poor sleep will effected the body ability too. Now is a time you take good rest for recovery.At least mostly withdrawals no longer bother you anymore its a good improvement of healing. i believe your sleep will gain a lots improvement soon since already come back almost to your baseline.Take care.

 

 

hi Miracle, im doing ok thanks, how are you? my sleep is still up and down, cant believe how long its taking to sort itself out,

 

hope you are keeping well

hi buddy, Im doing ok thanks, had a bit of health scare other day, woke up and coughed up some blood, and chest burning, been having burning chest for a while, last week woke and had nose bleed also, went doctor on Monday and they did quick check and said chest sounds clear, also blood tests that had a few weeks ago from the mucus scare were all fine, told them that think might be to do with having my air con on at night and having a fan blowing on me while sleeping, 

 

anyway i think ive figure out what it actually is, every night i soak a cotton pad in essential oils like lavender and others mixed in etc and put it in my pillow case close to where my nose is, im pretty sure that breathing in these essential oil fumes is burning my nose and throat, lungs etc while sleeping, you only supposed to use a couple of drops but i soak a cotton pad full,

 

not used fan, aircon or the essential oils for last 2 nights and chest seems ok so far,

 

hope you are well today

Defo the  culprit  for your chest issue .scale back all treatments but its hard for us because of the damage done to us and the will and spirit to be well takes over us rightly so I suppose

,all my money goes on non GMO organic lol,just got a delivery of state of the art non GMO organic nuts ,I must be mad the duty and tax alone was 60 euro ,im a wally because nothing is working for my tiredness and fatigue .I said to my friend F*ck this im going back to cereal and pizza ,ile keep going because im happy I don't have to wash or peel my veg lol.

 

Im going Scotland on Friday ,im anxious this week about being unwell for flight ,its amazing what ive done while very sick ,the power to push on can be still very strong .im a little better than last week so ile take that for now .ile stay away until end of next week until trip is over so be well and take care .

hi buddy, yeh basically doing no treatments and no supplements at all now except epsom salt baths,

 

thats expensive for nuts but worth it suppose as they are super healthy, need keep up the healthy habits, no going back to old ones

 

enjoy your trip, its what you need, try and get out on some hikes and clear your head,

 

take care

not good update really, things are still unstable, been downplaying it a bit the last few months but fact is overall I am worse and more unstable than I was 6 months ago, from around December last year up until April I was doing great and quite stable, hardly needed to use sleep aids, honestly thought would be healed by now

 

now I am having good days and bad days, seems to be more bad days lately, lost a lot of weight and not much appetite, avoiding people as much as possible as I am not looking good,

 

todays my sons birthday, got a lot going on and family coming for meal later, sons friends sleeping over etc, needed a good nights sleep, woke at 2am, took half anti-histamine at 3am but it went paradoxical and made me very stimulated so no more sleep and feeling ill, sleep aids seem to be going paradoxical often now,

 

got a house move very soon, was not planning to buy until next year but saw somewhere ideal at a low price, needs a lot of work doing to it, was in a extended window when decided to purchase and thought be a great project but now its looking like a nightmare and im dreading it, the whole thing,

 

going to be a real struggle today, might break my rule and try get a couple of hours during the day just to be functional for my sons birthday,

 

hoping for some stability soon

Ah crap DJ sorry to hear this ,don't over think the move too much ,our thinking is always worse than the reality ,still hard all the same .the positive is the low price keep that in your mind, if I lived near by ide help with the remodel ,I do all my own work in the house ,the missus is the worst kind of customer I told her lol.

I once helped a friend move house on very short notice over a weekend [years ago in my prime] ,he had 5 daughters so you could imagine ,since that I have never fretted about this kind of thing .I ignored the phone calls when the American fridge had to be moved for a third time ,come on like I have my limits lol.

Be proud today my friend but I understand about the sleep ,its torture ,I just had to relay how bad things have been to my sister that lives in OZ ,she keeps pushing me on very sensitive matters so I had to put her straight ,shes a good sister but Shel go the same as everyone else in time ide say and loose patience .

I got held up in Glasgow airport during the storm ,flight was at  3 ,we took off at 11.45 pm .was cancelled just as we went through security ,so had to rebook .

Happy birthday to your son and enjoy the day as best you can.ile gather up some stuff I've watched on sleep hygiene and send it to you .

Playing symptoms down to even ourselves is a way to protect ourselves ,the acceptance thing is the hardest for me .I live in a state these days that society want to be protected from like the plague ,I better find some fight in me fast but what if my will has been eroded away ,I live like a scared child in an adult body .sorry went on too much ,should keep all this crap for my own thread lol.

Be safe and take care . 

[peng]

Aw, heck.

Best wishes DJ.

I survived a house move last year after 40 years in previous one.

Some of the rearranging stuff and thinking helped me, mentally.

Hope the same for you.

[powerback]

Im the same with the weight ,the chronic stress is pulling all the muscle and tissue away from my butt and this is exactly what the research says on stress,you need to eat when not hungry ,chew the food loads so to help with digestion.up protein also and see how you get on ,if we are doing exercise to accommodate our withdrawl discomfort we are adding to the problem .not eating and over exercise is a big issue ,we have to replenish what we are expelling .I was reading that we need to be up on our amino acids to help with anxiety .

Its a sunny day I will force myself out for a walk ,oh I wish I was still in Scotland having a nice peaceful coastal walk ,I hate my town im sick looking at it .  

[powerback]

Hope your sons party went well DJ ,wishing you well in your difficult time.🙏.

Thinking of you my friend .I know your still in a bad way but keep up the eating[even if you not hungry  and get your winter/autumn body into gear 👍.

Im wondering if writhing into a diary everyday mite help your sleep because you know when all the stuff that we come up against during the day pops into our subconscious and it gets stored and then I wonder does it pop up later down the road as anxiety .

sorry if its a bit much you in a  wave ,but a thought anyhow .

Be well soon  ,believe it will pass.

hi Buddy, thanks for checking in it means a lot to me, im a little better today as slept ok last night but still very weak, was out of breath just walking kids to school, my lungs are still not right and beginning to think I may have ashmtha, 

 

ordered some medicinal grade manuka honey hoping it will help keep immune system up over the winter, there has been too much stress lately, too much going on, the weekend before last I slept 3 nights in a row getting 8 hours or more but then HMRC sent 2 agents round to do a full tax check on me and it sent me into this latest wave, they were proper grilling me and interrogating me, I started to panic and they saw i was getting unwell, I told them I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, they instantly changed then and started asking questions softly etc, they then said everything was satisafctory and left after 30 minutes instead of staying for the 2 hours, whole thing has upset my nervous system,

 

if it wasnt for the kids i would disappear to some remote place for a year where no one can bother me,

 

thanks for the tip on keeping a diary, was doing that temporarily a few months ago when was seeing a CBT therapist for sleep, just started meditating again yesterday so hoping that will help

 

trying to eat more today, lost that much weight, look awful, cant even look at self in mirror and avoiding going in kids school as other parents must think on drugs,

 

take care

F*ck them all DJ ,good you told them you have a panic disorder  ,its ridiculous what we have to  deal with ,that's a shame you got pulled into an Audit but its turned out ok so hold on to that .

Now listen to me you have to eat ,how can your body work without it ,would you leave your car on the motorway and expect it to work without fuel.Get small meals of high calorie and protein ,go to youtube and follow some guys .I get you abou the not eating ,the anxiety cuts off the digestive system ,its how our bodies designed but what happens to us makes us have to override what we can .

,so the small meals often and chewing can only help .

 

You need  to plan your meals in advance and stock the fridge with your meals,just think nutrition for now .

I break my meals as fat protein and veg boring but fuel .

When I over do the big smoothies wanting to get my nutrients ,it goes wrong but the only set back is the house smells like a pig farm for the night lol,so I halve them the next day .

 

If your struggling with your taxes paper work maybe pay someone at the end of the year to go over them to relieve stress .

 

Have manuka myself ,honey lemon organic ginger in a drink big time .

I get you about disappearing ,my trip last week was ok but stressful .I'm determined to go somewhere on my  own before with for days of walking and chilling in like a cabin .

I think you mite benefit from listening  to Allen wats .

Just remember a lot of them parents in that school are thinking the same as a you in there own head about themselves ,next time try a different thought like I'm doing dam good to keep things going .

Keep your head up .

[powerback]

Don't fret to much about asmha  ,ive had it since a toddler [very bad as a child ,that's were my merry dance with the demon DRs began ].not sure how you test for it but keeping up on cardiovascular health is a good thing  anyway .ginger tea is good for this .

If its bad enough you will need it checked and tested .

Your wave at the moment will pull on all your body's defences.

Serious enough asmha is a real bummer but you don't have that ,keep up your walks but not big ones everyday .get amongst trees ,get to a wooded area ,its good for the lungs .

yes trying to get lots food down self today, just been shopping and got loads in,

 

need to be careful with smoothies at the moment, noticed if I have a big smoothie that it effects my sleep, must be because too many vitamins from it or something,

 

yeh try and get away on own for a nice chill out on own, wish I could do that

 

the other parents definitely dont like me, I find it difficult to interact with them, a lot of the seem very wary of me, I pretty sure they will all be gossiping about me also, I come across as very strange at moment, just been to get kids now and I waited in car while wife went in,

 

thanks for the tips

been going on a few years now this chest thing, it comes and goes, some days my sternum burns and chest feels tight and some days its fine, had chest xrays before and not found anything, chance it might be mild asmtha or probably something to do with withdrawal, really dont want to go back to doctors at moment, going to just leave it for now as sick of going doctors for tests etc, bet its from the seroquel as i always would cough in morning while on that,

 

thanks for the info,

Hi Dj, Sorry to hear that. Asthma....need to beware especially night time got some coughing or breathing discomfort.  You need some medicine for it and better consult your GP. Maybe you got some inflammation into your lungs or airways especially cool weather. Take care and always drinks warm or hot water will ease you a bit. Hope everything will be fine.

Hi dj, 

 

Sorry to hear about your lung problems. I have had lung problems too unrelated to withdrawals. What I found really helped were the enzymes serrapeptase n nattokinese. Just google them. Serrapeptase is amazing for the lungs and the nattokinese helps the serrapeptase work better. I buy them from iherb. 

 

I know one should be careful with supplements while going through withdrawals but I haven’t had any problems with them as they are enzymes n not vitamins or herbs. An added bonus was that they make me as regular as clockwork, they help digestion too. You have to take them on an empty stomach though if you want them to help your lungs. When my breathing was really bad I would take larger doses n they really worked. 

 

Take care💚😤

got bronchitis, this has been building up for a while now, explains the lung problems over the last week or so, yesterday after a very long walk which made me out of breath it flared up really bad and I could hardly breath with lungs on fire, was ready for going hospital, then flu like symptoms started to appear, was in bed most of yesterday, didnt want to take any medicine incase of a reaction but was getting really bad last night and was worried so took so ibuprofen and after a hour my lungs felt a lot better, it also gave me a almost 6 hour solid sleep also which was very surprised at because was so ill last night, took another ibuprofen when woke, lungs feel a lot better today but still got mild flu like symptoms and very weak, need to rest while the inflammation goes down in lungs and heals,

 

one thing after the other at the moment, not a good start to the winter even though its not proper winter yet, god help me lol

hi miracle, turns out the burning chest that had for a very long time is acid reflux and the recent problems with my lungs has been stomach acid dripping into them at night, that caused the bronchitis, 

 

I am now using bed risers so my bed is elevated by 5 inches at the head side, and drinking apple cider vinegar before meals and taking betaine hydrochloride with pepsin with meals, this seems to have mostly sorted my acid reflux and I am no longer getting a burning chest, my lungs feel almost 100% now also,

 

on a big plus my sleep is now almost back to normal, I banned myself from sleep aids and all supplements 3 weeks ago as i felt they were causing more problems, for the last 2 weeks I have been getting 7 - 8 hours sleep every night, usually waking once for toilet but getting back to sleep within minutes,

 

my fitbit is now showing a normal sleep pattern, before it always showed me waking up when going from deep sleep back into REM sleep, now it is showing me going in and out of the different sleep stages as normal, I know fitbit is not 100% accurate but its accurate enough to see that sleep is normalising,

 

i am starting to think that maybe this withdrawal journey might be coming to a end however usually when I do positive update like this the withdrawal gods notice and strike me down, will keep fingers crossed they dont,

 

thanks for your support

 

take care
