Days of Depression Do Pass - Just Be Patient

There really is nothing worse than waking up in the morning and realizing that you are going to spend the day being depressed.

So, I love my daughter, she suggested that we go get our hair cut today. So, we did. She got a lovely haircut from the woman who cut her hair, and I, of course, got crap. thankfully my hair is very long and all I did was get my hair trimmed. So, given a couple of months and it will be grown back out.

Then this early evening I got a cut on the inside of my mouth. So, here I am, blood in my mouth feeling just terrible and knowing that I will never be able to eat dinner. My day was just terrible.

So, what can I do to make tomorrow a better day? That's a really good question, and one that I wish I had a ready answer to.

I want to be able to clean my house and cook the evening meal. Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and constant pain have been the constant hounds from hell that have taken over my body.

Cycling on Guaifenesin

One of the most difficult things to learn about while taking Guaifenesin has been cycling. It is a difficult concept to grasp in the beginning, to be sure. On the one hand, you come to Guaifenesin for your Fibromyalgia symptoms because nothing else has worked. On the other hand, you aren't ready for the cure to be worse than the disorder. And, for a short period of time it certanly feels that way.

First, Let's define cycling.

You take a specified dose of guaifenesin (which you arrived at through titration) twice a day. When you "cycle" you are forcing the phosphates out of the muscle tissue that have built up over time. The build-up of phosphates has caused pressure on the muscle tissue themselves as well as pressure on the nerves from water build-up. Also a by-product of the phosphates.

Today I actually examined the calorie content on the Ben & Jerry's that I have been eating on a regular basis.

Ok!!! And now I am motivated to start the HG strict diet that I have been telling myself that I am going to start for - what, the past four or five weeks now.

You see, I am hypoglycemic. And, this is a diet that is specifically designed for people with hypoglycemia. It is also designed for people with fibromyalgia who are on the Guaifenesin Protocol. This is a medical treatment for fibromyalgia. It is not particularly well known, even though it has been around for about 30 years. It can cure fibro. That is something that is also not well known. However, it is a long and arduous process.

If you are interested in finding out more information about the Guai protocol - I recommend you go to this site:

http://www.psha-inc.com/guai-support/

It is the oldest site on the Internet that is dedicated to the Guai Protocol, and it has the best information available about it.

Well, I'm not much into chatter tonight, so that's it.

Sleep, all I want to do is sleep and my insomnia is acting up again.

I know that at this point I will not sleep again until at least tomorrow night.

*sigh*

This just bites.

Hello World

Isn't Hello World the first thing that programmers are taught?

There are so many things that I want to talk about, so I have plans for this to be a very busy blog. But, I am so attempting to tackle social issues that I have only been able to skin the searching off v

I began my adventure in stumbling at SbumbleUpon, but it doesn't really lend itself to full-scale blogging. In the past week or so I have spent a lot of time checking out various Blogs available to myself. It turns out that I actually like politically charged and social issues.

Politically I am a Democrat. I AM TOTALLY ASHAMED THAT GEORGE BUSH is from the Great state of Texas. Although, that is sort of open to debate these days - whether or not Teaxas is Rather mediocre.
