No Ocna pics tonight, sorry.

Couldn't make it in front of my computer tonight.

I'm in  bed with no strengh left to stand up since 6 PM. 

I guess I pushed mylsef a little bit too much again. I walked too much around the city. I know I need to be careful but I can't help it. When I feel okay enough I just want to walk and walk without stopping because it's like a drug, and because my inner feeling tells me it's one of the best medication.

Now I feel like I'm dying and besides my gallbladder is one more time very painful.  ( I just took my meds to calm everything down). But it's  okay, it will get better like it always does.  I believe my nervous system hates my determination to act as if I was totally normal. 

this afternoon, just before crashing:


So instead of Ocna's pics, I'll say "good night " to you with a Chibi Moon Pic. 

Have a nice day/night and take care.   Clef

No Ocna pics tonight, sorry.

La douleur n'a pas de visage :/ "aujourd'hui est douloureux, demain sera heureux" espérons que demain vienne rapidement pour toi ;) (J'adore tes pics avec des wigs, je trouve ça trop cute ^__^)

Prends soin de toi petite feuille. Et bon courage pour la suite.

Well, technically walking could be considered a drug... Exercise (especially of unusual intensity compared to what your body is used to) triggers an often massive endorphin release. Endorphins are the brain's natural opiates! And if that wasn't enough, you can add in a health dose of dopamine and serotonin which are natural anti-depressants and relaxants. Exercise is definitely the best medicine for both brain and body. But don't overdo it too much. Can't climb a mountain in one giant leap...

Sounds like probiotic suppositories (or, alternately, microbiome transplant). Lots of links between the diversity of the microbiome (gut bacteria) and the immune/nervous systems so it makes sense to try it. As the vast majority of your gut bacteria lives in your large intestine this would be a more direct way to introduce them to their natural environment. To simplify the concept as much as possible, this is loosely how it works: Bacteria in your gut can break down certain undigested foods for absorption into the bloodstream which promotes nutrition. Some can break these down into molecules small enough to breach the blood/brain barrier so they can directly influence brain nutrition and neurotransmitters. These "good" bacteria also take up spaces that pathogens like to hang out so if they do show up they have nowhere to latch on and grow so they're quickly in one end and out the other (or back out the same). Some will even actually attack/destroy pathogens. If you're interested, I'd suggest "Gut: The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ" by Guilia Enders. Excellent read.

The internet just flagged up a story on Lyme disease - Lesley Paterson, a world class triathlete, is recovering from Lyme disease through FMT - Faecal Microbial Transplant - or to put it slightly crudely, poop pills. Allegedly, the bacteria in someone else's poop stimulates your own immune system into fighting the Lyme disease. Have you heard of that? Been there, done it? Totally grossed out by it? If you Google Lesley Paterson, or poop pills, you'll find various references to it. I saw the story, thought of you and wondered if it might be of interest. The stories also mention the roller-coaster ride of good days and bad days with a gradual swing toward more good than bad. I have no wish to undermine the treatment you are currently receiving, just thought it may be of interest.

Thank you for the post, it doesn't sound like it was an easy task today - hopefully, it will be better tomorrow, but if not, the day after; whenever you are able. Seeing pictures of you always makes my day that much better.
