Elroy I think my computer is getting suspicious!!!(tee-hee:)
(And now back to our lead story where K, I mean World Citizen attempts to facilitate the alleviation of some of Elroys' discomfort. World Citizen is sincere yet slightly impaired due to her old nemesis/friend Atavan)
Elroy I've been clicking keys and pointing cursors till I've come upon some potential alternatives for the DHEA-at least in terms of the neuropathy. By the way is it Diabetic Neuropathy? If it is then both alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine are supposed to be very effective for it. The one site I have for you is lifeextensionvitamins.com.
I usually shy away from getting information from the very place that would like to sell me the item, BUT this seems very thorough and dignified.I find it very interesting, nay even synchronistic that you began taking the TMG just a week ago.
You know when I first moved here to this apartment I was never so scared in my life. I had never lived alone before. I'd raised my 2 sons was trying to finish my 20 year degree. (that would seem to require the entire alphabet to tag along after my name). Actually, I stopped going to school when my sons were 2 and 4, it was clear that they needed me and I needed to be the best mom I could be. Short story stretched out to unimaginable lengths-NO that's not what I was going to say! Long story short (much better) I waited until my pain was under control (THAT'S another thing about DLPA it obliberates chronic pain by doing something horrid to the enzyme that would attempt to neutralize my lovely little endorphins) and my sons had both reached the age of maturity. I deliberately moved to that apartment because it was SOOO close to school, only 4 blocks away. I kept trying and things kept getting weirder. Finally in JUne of 02 I had to quit my job, I didn't know what was wrong I just had a constant sense of forboding. That summer was REALLY hot and I had NO airconditioner (on the 2nd floor I might add!) and all the little mold spores were doing their little microscopic dances in the air. I really thought I was losing my mind. I would wake up gasping like I had apnea or something-NOOOO the Sleep Clinic said I had Night Terrors. Such a gentle was to awaken!!! I started having panic attacks-I felt like there was not enough air anywhere. I had thought all along that my symtoms were actually side-effects of the klonopin I was taking at the time. So this "brilliant" neurologist puts me on Halcion! I went from a long acting benzo to one of the shortest acting ones. This did not improve matters (caution understatement in progress!) as I went through 2 weeks of bezo withdrawal AND having my head F***ed with from the mold (stachybotrys, to be more precise). I ended going over to the park around 3 or 4 am to try to sleep most nights There is a HUGE redwood tree over there and after I'd do my walking around the park in the daytime I would just sit next to the tree and cry, pray and sing. I became familiar to a hawk that lived nearby. I spent so much time over there trying to understand why God was allowing me to lose my mind that I witnessed the hawks young as they fledged. I don't mean to burden you (or whoever else reads this)but I'm going to have to talk about all this at the impending deposition finale. I had to move out in 01/03 because the stuff made me so sick the MD told me to get out. So I did. For the next eight months I stayed with my dearly loved Bahai friends (or theirfamily) I lived in four different locaions during this time. Lost my all-time favorite cat. And then by the Grace of God I found a home in the apartment I'm currently residing-it's been a year and a half!!! The thing is I've finally learned to live alone. I had my sons when I was very young and their dad (Vietnam vet) wasn't there at all for them. I faced the scariest thing in my entire life in the last year. I've had to face my abadonment issues. I've had to let go of erroneous beliefs about who I am and those beliefs weren't too happy about being evicted-they fought back and they're MEAN!!
I'm hoping there is something like World Citizens'life part 2. Where I get to finally get to own my personal power and not be afraid of it.
That's it I just ran out of stuff to say. Lucky YOU!
