Round 59 (42 ALA)

Image
 So for about two weeks now I have been doing a bit better. Every day I’m roughly feeling 3.5 on a how do I feel scale.  For about 10+ I was feeling worse, every day was agony, such a struggle to get through. I’m still really struggling but it’s not so painful. I can sit and listen to audible books more comfortably. I can take Wally for 1 or 2 short walks a day. I am happy enough in myself that I can listen to music. I have also started doing 10 minutes of yoga in the morning.  This is a photo of me now. It is a huge difference from round 17. You can see from a year ago my illness really showed on my face. I am still really sick but I am doing everything I can do help my body.  Symptoms: Severe brain fog  Up and down sensation  Ataxia (unbalanced) Unfocused all the time  Memory is pretty bad  Sore and unfocused eyes  Sometimes get head pressure  Trouble thinking Spaced out  Hypoglycaemia (this is actually improving since taking chro...

Round 57 (40 ALA)

Image
This is a photo of Wally and I from awhile ago  So I do have a bit better news then last time I posted. Yesterday I did more jobs then I have been able todo in about 10 weeks. I sold two palms, sold a sauna blanket, and half cleaned a bbq. I also managed to take Wally to a doggy park in the afternoon but it was still difficult. Weird because the day before was just awful. I even had a mild dizzy sensation while laying down the day before.  I don’t expect to keep having days like this as it’s really been up and down. Even this morning I still feel the on the boat sensation. I will have to see how today goes. This  going to be my second round of just ALA 3mg. I am still taking a break from my other supplements. Feeling a little more positive. I want to be better by two years. Currently over 14 months into this. 

Update

 So I abandoned round 56 which was just DMPS 2.5 mg because I developed a rash. I don’t know if it is from DMPS or not so I thought it’s better to be safe then sorry. As a rash is an indication before a big allergic reaction. I have to admit I am not well. I have slipped back quite a lot in the last 8 weeks or so. In the mornings I wake up and I feel like I could fall out of bed with the on a boat feeling and I feel slightly spinny. I have constant head pressure. It also feeling like there is a bucket of water in my head and it sloshes from side to side. I am also unbalanced and it’s hard to walk around.  I am making plans to go up north for my mum to look after me as I am struggling doing chores. I have a little dog and I haven’t been able to walk him every day.  I am going to look into mould as another culprit as there has been a little bit of a musky smell in my apartment but I can’t see any mould.  It had been an emotionally charged time frame as I thought I woul...

Round 52

So I finally came out of the epic crash.  I’m still not super great but I am not in agony like I was in the crash. This morning I managed to walk Wally to the lake and back and I’m going to attempt to walk this again tonight. I have been having sore eyes though for the last two days and I’m worried by eyes will go back to being sore 24/7. Really hope not. For round 52 I just did DMPS 2.5mg a “mop up round”  So crazy I was watching a video on eye health and the doctor suggested an eye supplement with Alpha Liapoic acid in it. So crazy, why are doctors so ignorant they don’t know it’s a heavy metal chelator?  Fingers crossed my eyes will sort themselves out. I’ve been getting floaters and dark spots when I draw without sunnies on. It’s like my eyes are sensitive to light ? Or maybe they’re just dry, I dono.  ***** Eyes are back to being a bit better thank god. (19/3/23) 

Round 50 (34 ALA)

 So today is the worst day in a long long time. All the days I thought were really bad are nothing compared to today. I was actually feeling a little better last night and thought I was coming out of a 12 day crash. I even cycled to the post office quickly yesterday arvo and took Wally for a short walk.  At around 10:50am today (Saturday) I had a very sudden dizzy spell where I had to sit down immediately. Since then I’ve been feeling fked. Head is sloshy like a bucket of water. Feeling so so so sick.  I dono why I am like this. I am wondering whether I had suddenly become very thiol sensitive as I have not been very strict with my diet. A few months ago I started cooking Mexican with different herbs and spices and I’m wondering if this is contributing. I also have eaten a few already made packaged foods that contain hidden “spices” Feeling spinny, pressure in head, really thirsty, hard to walk, hard to think, pressure in jaw and back on head ?  Feeling emotional, a ...

1 year in the Dump. Round 47 (31 ALA) .

 So on this very day one year ago I crashed the hardest I’ve ever crashed in my life and it was the beginning of what I believe to be the dump phase.  I woke up feeling off. But I carried on through the day and by the evening I had a dizzy spell. It’s currently the Second OFF day on the second round I tried todo 2:40hr dosing.Interesting that when I also tried to raise my dose weeks ago I had a dizzy spell on the second round trying it and on the first OFF day. I will go back to 3 hour dosing for round 48 (32 ALA).  Weird hey.  Drew a guy throwing a lasso lol  Nothing much to report. I am still feeling unwell af. Only my eyes have improved slightly. I’m pushing myself a lot more now todo things e.g. cooking, taking Wally for a walk and going to the post office when I can. Life is still very hard. Holding on. Cabin for my small courtyard got approved today.  Still on 1.5 mg ALA & 2.5mg DMPS  Symptoms I have: on a boat sensation, periodic head pressu...

Things I have noticed

 I thought I would make a page where I can dot things down that I have noticed through my healing journey -Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. Started desiccated thyroid extract on the 19th august 60mg. Antibodies 1600  -Big crash in June. Was it because I did 5.5mg ALA? When I’m crash I had that everything slightly turning to the left feel. Still haven’t bounced back from the crash but the left spinny thing has stopped.  19/7/23- still haven’t come back well after my crash. I have this spinny like sensation where I feel like the room is turning to the left ? I am going to explore possible mould exposure, vertigo and support my liver more. I am stopping my supplements then going to add back in to see if they’re contributing to me getting sick. I am just doing 2.5mg DMPS now.  •30/6/23- Sauna 15 min  •16/6/23 Epic crash = Have reduced ALA .  •12/6/23 now on 5.5mg ALA  •12/4/24 have added in more supplements: chromium picolinate, ashwaganda, b...
