CFS 6 July

Hello All,

Had a good nights sleep. very important for this episode of my life. Got into my regular routine of Protein, Vit C, and Glycogen drink. Back to bed for a couple more hours then up ready to head to the Beach. SUNNY day here for the first time in about a week. No wind, AWESOME.

I spent 2.5 hours there. Did 3 short walks testing my energy. And/or I know that I have to do some exercise every day or I will loose dramatically even faster than I have been.

Back to Freo, parked the car near the bus stop so I wouldn't have to walk up the hill home after going for Vits. I learned a valuable lesson. I parked the car, then got to worrying that the bus would come and I wouldn't catch it. I started stressing, hurrying to much to get across the street to catch the bus. As it was I had a longish wait but still better than doing another long walk and getting more exhausted. While I waited, I noticed that my energy was not good at all. Really bad actually. Nearly as bad as on Friday when I collapsed on the way home. I tried in my mind to sort out why? Because at the beach I was doing really really great. Then it hit me. The URGENCY at the car to get to the bus stop. STRESSED out for nothing really. But stressing none the less. I am so fragile that the situation is really scary for me now.

I very patiently waited for the bus. When it came it was full and I couldn't sit down till only about 300 meters left to go. I sorted my way through the markets that were packed as carefully as I could. My destination was a discount chemist with great products sold by Natropaths. I shop here fairly regularly and they have a 20% discount on every product bought and a 50% after buying 10 products. I was after CoQ10 and Mg. My guidance was saying to up the quality of the Mg and to get some of the CoQ10. The lady that helped me, Jackie was well versed on her products and helped me get the best price for the best product for me. I got much smaller quantity of Mg than normal, but Guidance says that it is the best product for me so, hopefully I can afford it for a while.

that is one problem that I am noticing about CFS. Or two sides of one problem. Or? No energy, means little or no work which means no money. Unless you get a bit from the Government as I do. then the products are quite expensive that are needed to revitalize the CFS sufferer to health. Catch-22.

On the way home I uncapped the CoQ10 and had one.

This evening around 8ish, I was noticing that I have more energy than I would normally have at this time of day. The only difference in the routine is the CoQ10. Hopefully it will have a similar affect tomorrow. Jackie suggested taking it late morning to have energy later as it takes about 3 hours to take affect. hhhhhmmmmmmmm.

After 22:00 now, time for bed shortly.

peace
