| Dear All,
Is this a new strand, or have I missed something on another site?
Bea, and those that are really struggling, have you tried Ginkgo Biloba.?
Antioxidant and allows blood to get to the brain, = oxygen. I take it
first thing in the morning, two capsules = 800 mg. If I take it later in
the day, then I cannot sleep at night. This is for those of you who are new
to the club. Maybe I am teaching grannies to suck eggs?
I struggle to get out of the house and can only manage once a fortnight, if
that, on Wednesday afternoon, the quietest day for trade, so my brain is not
too hassled with crowds and queuing. If I can shop for a month I do, if I am
allowed. "Mum, you don't need all this stuff!" - and look whats happened? I
need to get out of the house to buy a special present for a special someone,
but still feel so exhausted, that I still have not achieved that. This is
also very annoying. Cannot make plans or set appointments.
Everyone said I looked the picture of health, (past tense, before 2003-the
cancer treatment, or should I say, the lack of it, has really aged me, and I
think anger and pain show on your face) - must be all the supplements I took
and the sleep I had, but you still feel 180 years old inside. One of the
initial symptoms of this illness is facial pallor. I was grey, but
initially thought it was because I was overworking and never saw sunshine,
(they did not call this "yuppie flu" for nothing). So, I would suggest, get
out into the fresh air when the sun is out to get Vitamin D. You can still
rest if you have a balcony, terrace, yard. I know this life is boring, but
you do not have to walk or even move. It is a grey day in the U.K., heavily
overcast. It is a great country to live in, but the weather ......! It is
the pain of exertion I cannot deal with. You treat yourself to a luxury and
you pay for it. Now, when I get home, at least I have the option and can
tolerate one double scotch, and that gets me home a.s.a.p., and that is my
reward. Keep smiling !! Regards Rita U.K. Don't for Hawaii !!
