More intolerances

Posted by: konnor in Untagged  on

 

It looks like I have more food allergies going on, to accompany a slowly declining state of health. I'm certain chronically high insuling levels are really causing me some problems, along with the intolerances.

So, I'm stood at a crossroads with about 5 routes to choose from!

- I've done all that I can to control hypogylcemia over the past year yet still feel insulin is high and blood sugar


Fullness and sleep

Posted by: konnor in Untagged  on

 I've started to notice a shift in some of my symptoms which may be good or may be bad. The first is I'm waking up less in the night and able to sleep in longer. Waking up in less in the night must be a good thing, and naturally sleeping in longer I guess could work both ways.  I'm still yet to get tired before 12 which is the main aim and will need to think about ways to achieve this.

The other

The good news this week was I managed to shake off a virus which had troubled me for almost a week. It's possible it was swine flu, however whilst I felt like garbage, I could still function relatively well. I managed to get into work but they were a few of the worst days I've ever experienced. I'd had about 3 hours sleep between 2 nights. 

It's the first time I've experienced flu since becoming


Virus takes hold

Well it was to be expected really. There is so much going round at the moment that all it probably takes is walking into air that has been freshly coughed into.

So I picked up a virus. Couldve been swine flu or something more generic, I can't tell. In anycase the past week has been horrible.

I'm about 60% better after feeling my worst around tuesday/wednesday time. I've kept on my supplements,

So much for the steady week!

After a good week and a reasonable schedule of events lined up over the weekend, things were looking good.

Unfortunately being surrounded by a thousand university students in the union club led me to break my 1 year and 2 month restriction on alcohol. Not only did I falter but I faltered in style, swiftly downing 2 double vodka's and 2 double gin's on an empty


Steady week

Posted by: konnor in Untagged  on

 

I've had a reasonably steady week this week which bodes well. I did have some stressfull moments at work but managed to absorb it pretty well.

 Supplements are going quite steady. My liver is much improved and bowel movements are okay, alot more solid. This might have been helped by the tribulus, vitamin C, molybdenum and NAC and/or keeping the diet tight and not overdoing any antifungals.

A day in the life of an Adrenal Fatigue/Candida sufferer

Posted by: konnor in Untagged  on

Mornings usually begin with a sense of calmness as my body slowly kicks into gear. The stillness of the world is not replicated in my mind as from the moment my eyes open, all sorts of swirling thoughts beyond my control populate my brain.


I wander to the toilet and take a piss, routinely confused about where the fluid comes from considering my limited water intake the night before. Negotiating


Grumble day

Posted by: konnor in Untagged  on

 

Well I’ve allowed myself a little grumble today.

My positivity and calmness have been tested today both with uncomfortable symptoms of a constant stomach ache which I believe to be an ulcer, and liver ache worse than usual. I’m not sure whether this is the fallout from using Threelac or the result of adding a few more supplements and foods to my regime.

Despite probably eating enough fiber from

Interesting first week on the Threelac.

I made the initial mistake of continuing the dose of my regular probiotic (50 bill per capsule) whilst introducing one sachet of Threelac. As a result my brain fog reached mach 10 in a couple of days which resulted in poor sleep, accompanied by general mild die off symptoms. I quickly cut back the dose to prevent anything too strenuous.

The good news is my

Back on the Threelac

Threelac - Live Lactic Acid Bacteria SupplementI’ve decided to re-take the plunge by adding Threelac to my supplement regime.

I did try Threelac many moons ago and started to see some reasonable results, however I foolishly stopped taking it for some reason. I think I was deterred too quickly by some nasty smelling flatulence and bowel movements, later realising this is usually an indication the little critters are getting to work.
