Jody’s Blog . . . a life after chronic fatigue syndrome

 

Monday, June 15, 2009 

I posted 2 new articles on Ncubator tonight.

They are, per usual, dated for the next day, as it’s late in the evening (at least in my part of the world) by the time they went up. I think they should have a whole day. 

“The Great Grain Debate” and “Omega 3 Oil Eases the Pain” are about some important factors in my gradual recovery.

Some of these things take an inordinate amount of time and unfortunately it was not possible, at least in my case, to predict how long healing takes or how far healing will take someone with CFS. 

It’s funny now, wasn’t at the time — Almost 2 years ago, in July 2007, I began to have less haze and static. I still was vibrating most of the time but it didn’t get in my way so much, sometimes.

I thought, I am almost healed. I should be all better in like — a month? 

Instead I had a 2 month crash, because I didn’t know how to pace myself in this new envelope and un-paced myself right into the ground. I was SOME sick that time. 

Live and learn. It will take longer than you think it will. Objects in the mirror are further away, in this case, than they appear. 

But one thing is for certain, I believe, and that is that when I started regularly avoiding things that are toxic for me and ingesting things that are healthy for me, the only direction had to be up. (This was, at least, my hopeful and wistful logic.)

For me, it seems to be true, long dreary haul though it has been. 

I got to be the way I was in part because of various toxins that my body couldn’t handle anymore.

An immune system too overloaded trying to keep the assorted enemies at bay.

A digestive system more than likely thrown out of whack by things like Candida and other bacteria, hypersensitive to many foods, and not absorbing much in the way of nutrition …. 

You have just read the meanderings my mind takes, prompted by my articles about grains and omega 3 oil.
