> Hi jan,

> got your mail today.....nice to hear from you, and glad you still think of me as an English Odonis! he he he he! :-)))Well I didn't exactly mention Odonis, in fact I had to google him..
All I got was he was some monk who threw away the vow of poverty, which I'm sure you agree is a good idea..
It didn't unfortunately mention him throwing away any vow of chastity though...mmm (probably wrong Odonis:-)
kinda vague idea of a greek god or something?

> Not sure how I'm fairing is the honest answer. I had felt that I was making progress but then had what might be described as a relapse (or perhaps its just part of my cycling process?) where I felt real crappy for a week and a half. Now seem on the up again and today, probably had the best day I've had in some time!
>glad to hear it:-)) .. the good day, that is
> During the down period I feel very disconnected from everything (derealisation?) and am so irritable, angry, I could find fault with a lottery win! :-(
yeah my mother is like that a bit now.. she actually had a small win at the pokies but didnt seem that thrilled..it was more the bother of waiting for an attendant!.. it was actually a mistake as she pushed the 25X key instead of the 1X and got a bigger drop than otherwise, not a jackpot
>Also sleep goes kinda wierd too. I get to sleep ok but then wake after what I imagine is one REM cycle of 3 or 4 hours feeling very agitated and anxious and then spend the rest ofthe night sleeping just 10 to 30 minutes at a time, broken by wake spells of extreme anxiety.that sounds pretty typical for me,e except I had some accupunture in BN and after a few days I actually relaxed properly and go a full nihjts sleep thru and awoke refreshed.. back to the typical now though. Yes I didnt feel like I'd fall asleepall day and didn't crash in the afternnon either on the couple of good nights I got. I did get needles stuck into my jaw and top of head though..as well I had some accupuncture for my knee.. which i felt, but I'm unsure if it helped.Definitely got referred pain around leg though, which shows meridian poijts flowing, which is supposed to aid healing, I think..
Flying back up to BN in a weeks time so another week, so will try accupunture again then a few times..it's bulk billed by a GP up there. and I'm going to this great masseur for my knee too that a friend told me about.. he just saw what was wrong immediately, said it wasn't tracking right , dug his fingers in somehow and put it back..when I got up it felt like I had no knee again..like it was perfect, but it hasnt lasted.
I need to rebuild and balance the muscles...> Oddly the cycle ends abruptly with a decent full nights sleep and a general improvement the next day. Still have no idea if this is some from of cycling (doesnt seem to be any regular pattern to it) or if its in some way allergy based, but again I'd be at a loss to guess what the trigger might be. All I know is the bad spells really are about as near to hell as my mind could imagine! Fortunately however I don't feel like this all the time and when I do feel that bad, I can cling to the reality that it WILL pass and days like today will come along at some point.
>well stress (or lack of support)is a trigger for me...other than that I'm not sure either. I do think mayve=be some kinds of chocolate, nitatres, sulfites.. beats me.. it definitely aint clear!
> From what I've read, histadelia is something which requires a long term treatment plan to see any results so will continue it religiously for another 6 months and see how I go.
yep, that's the picture I get too

> 163mg magnesium with 1000mg taurine (to balance the calcium)
> 200ug selenium (good mens health nutrient to take)
> The lithium ius finished in 7 days and the TMG in 17 days so both will be discontinued at those points. I'm hoping their exclusion makes no difference to my progress.

> Been buying lots of seeds and seedlings this weekend (its the easter holiday here this weekend)and am genuinely looking forward to the summer and getting my veggie plot planted and watching my hard work bear fruit. Now the sheer fact I'm looking FORWARD to something is a step in the right direction. :-)))
>
I'm not sure.. shouldn't the vege plot be bearing veges not fruit?.. unless it's tomatoes of course ;-)
in summer I got 2 tomato vines(one normal, one cherry) to live thru the drought and still have one capsicum vine, got a lot of fresh beans there for a while.
It was my first vege plot for years too.. I really must or probably shoulda already planted some peas for winter.
