Re: Emotional detox

Wow! Lots to read. Thanks.

I've been thinking about what you said about this possibly being emotional detox and it seems weird that that could manifest so much pain, swelling, and trouble walking, but it's something I'm going to really look at.

I feel like a health detective. I was doing humaworm, heavy metal chelation, Lugol's, lots more water, low carb, no sugar, wheat, etc. and all this leg stuff started. Actually, I thougt it might be from Sugar and a what allergy so I started the low carb diet. Anyway, after a few days on the low carb didn't really make a difference, I backed off the chelation, then the Lugol's, then the humaworm to see if any of that was causing this. Then I looked up all 3 of the blood pressure meds I'm taking for HBP and picked the "nastiest" one, said a BIG prayer and didn't take it Thursday night. I felt some better Friday, but I had to take an extra one of the other pills to compensate and a couple of hours after I got up the leg became stiff and swollen again. I didn't take the Toprol XL last night, but I still hurt big time today.

I tend to be a people pleaser (like Oprah) and don't like to disappoint anybody so I tend to push myself to the point of exhaustion or relapse.

About a month ago I started saying "No." The guilt was overwhelming, but also kind of freeing. So far, I've managed to p**s off my aunt, daughter, mother, and close friend all by saying, "I don't feel well enough to ... "

Before this is over I may not have a single person speaking to me. However, my son pretty much says "It's about damn time you started standing up for yourself!"

Thank you for taking the time to write back to me. It's taken me a while to get up the courage to write at all so I've basically just been reading for a couple of months. Tweet
