Can you elaborate a little Foxclover6?

What symptoms could we help you cope with?

 

When was the last time you felt even just a little better?

How's your sunlight quotient?  Are you getting outside even for a little bit of time?  Brief walks.  Brief excursions into nature? 

Forest Bathing

Are you near the coast?

 

Oh Foxclover.  A bitter wave.......I'm so sorry.  Hoping to hear better news soon.

Have some sort of pain syndrome since coming off the medications,  spine pain,  rib pain, chosto pain.  Everything gets inflamed and it hurts really bad,  for a year,  everytime I ate i got pain allover my body.  The pain I have in my spine effects alot,  couple months ago, my tongue stopped working,  I'm just very depressed,  it doesn't end and I feel like I have some disease.  I had this sweating feeling on my neck and head for a very long time and that just started to lessen.

A little encouragement here. 
 

my schedule has been off for almost a month. Overtime work, dark when I get home, not walking in woods, eating in a hurry, bad eating , cold, rushing baths, Christmas visiting, running here and there, shopping etc.

 

bear with me here.
up till then I had been staying on top of taking care of myself for this wd. About 3 weeks into this rushed schedule change it came on and I did feel it. Anxiety, bad sleep, sensitive ears and eyes bad concentration etc. 

 

So I told my boss no overtime this week. The first day after hiking in woods I saw a big difference I was actually amazed at how much better I feel 3 days later. Something as small as that. And I had to force myself to do it. 
 

It surprised my wife that I was in kitchen helping cook supper 🤷‍♂️. I’m not a cook by a long shot. 
 

im not try to discourage you only encourage you.
