Condition Management Updates: Banishing Fog
Greetings everyone! Sorry I missed last week's update. It's been a crazy couple of weeks in my volunteer organizations.
If you've been following my blog, you know that this year I have chosen a goal of managing my fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and orthostatic tachycardia syndrome myself as naturally as possible. I have worked with doctors in the past for all three of these condition. However, the first two have not improved and in fact have been getting worse. I continue to work with my cardiologist on the last one.
So this week's update is a bit more of the same--things getting better when I remember to take the Q-Fuse full spectrum hemp oil. I realized this week, though, that I haven't been including my brain fog progress. How's that for irony? Now if you have fibormyalgia, chances are you know the term "fibro fog" all too well. I ended up leaving my last paying job because my brain fog was so bad that I could not do the work. Caffeine can help for a short time, but I needed something better--and I found it in the hemp oil. When I take it twice a day as I have been doing, I am able to focus enough to make a plan and execute it. It's even helped with my ADD quite a bit. I'm able to focus on one project at a time, long enough to make progress. That's a huge change from my usual short, sporadic attention span.
Energy is the other great help with this hemp oil. I gave that one a serious test this week. As some of you know, I work as an on-call chaplain. This week I was called at 1:30 am and did not return to my bed until after 5:30 am. I suck at going to sleep quickly, so didn't manage to get back to sleep before the alarm went off at 7 am to get the kids up. I was committed to helping at the boys' school all day wit a two-hour break for lunch in the middle. I made sure to take my Q Fuse first thing and limited the caffeine to avoid starting a jittery chain reaction from too much caffeine. The amazing thing is that I had a great day! I was awake with a normal energy level and focus.
So, I'm beginning to think that this experiment is going very well and maybe ready to move to "proven" on the scientific scale. I'll keep using this hemp oil.
Next step of the experiment now is finding a way to improve my sleep without drugs. More on that next time.
