@Fullhealing Yes it will clear ,just being a bit sticky ...you most certainly deserve a break ❤️🙏

Update 11:30am

The last few days have been still very challenging but last night I slept relatively well, I didn't wake up in pure terror so that was a welcome change.

I'm only at the beginning of the day but for now it's bearable.

Today I must work after a week of absence although I'm definitely not enthusiastic about it, my ability to bear the slightest stress is extremely low but the piles are growing so no choice, hopefully it will goes much better than what wd mind spits..

5 days after starting magnesium and I feel that my body is a bit calmer but I'm also out of the hormonal storm so it's hard to say what's what, in any case I'll try to make the most of those bearable moments until the next surprise..

@Fullhealing Good to see some improvement in sleep and the WD levels are bearable. I hope work is easy on you today and you get the piles down without too much stress. xxxx

Thanks lovely @Chippy

How is your day going? and your head, any better I hope?

This sounds hopeful ✨☀️💕

It sounds like the magnesium might be helpful or at least not harmful 🙂

I keep wondering if I should try magnesium glycinate. I have some on order that’s from a company called pure encapsulations. I wonder what’s the worst thing that could happen….

This was a big issue for me during the first terrible months on this journey, but I managed to go through. My wife and kinds encouraged me to continue and every day, I only thought about them and pushing forward. It's finally paying off.

You can do it as well. We are here for you. You are a strong person..do what you can to move on even if you need to take more breaks than usually. I know, I took a lot of restroom time while in office just to sit in a toilet to calm myself and breath calmly. I also took a lot of walk outside to distract myself.....

It will get better. 18 months journey and my last two months being the longest window and feeling a lot better than previous 16 months. You can do it, and you will eventually see a long window...

Thank you @Raymond I'm still at work and though it's a bit stressful it's much better than staying at home being wrapped and consumed by symptoms, I will definitely try to push myself harder, any distraction, even if difficult, is a blessing.

I saw your update from today, so good to see your amazing progress, may it stays that well!

That's what I found as well, @Fullhealing . Work took my mind off my symptoms and doom loop thinking for a few hours. Like you, I had some bad days at work, but overall I think working helped my recovery. Hang in there!

I think it's worth a try @Finni worst case scenario just stop but it's a cumulative effect so you have to give it enough time.

I remember trying a few months ago experiencing a slight flare-up, got stressed and stopped immediately but looking back who knows if it's even related, flare-ups pop up anyway.. even now, I can't tell where the relief comes from, hormones and a fading wave, this.. probably a mix but anyway there's relief and I'm trying to make the most of it.

Regarding the brand, I didn't have a favorite, I went purely by reviews, the recommended is 2 capsules of 200 but I settle for 1 in the evening, it's always better to start small.

Hope it will bring you great if you decide to try, you deserve that so very much xxx

Thanks @mstimc60 you're right, very important to be distracted and push ourselves although it is such a fragile line between too much and too little..

Now anyway it worked well which I'm very grateful for.

@Fullhealing OK not totally out of the woods yet ,but that path is definitely clearing for you and running slightly smoother .I can feel it in your writing too .So pleased you feel Magnesium may be working for you ...I feel a bit of a turning point for you here and I'm so pleased 😀....❤️🙏🤝🤝🤝

Update 23:20pm

Night, didn't sleep much but relatively well, woke up not particularly pleasant but not catastrophic either.

It took me ages to pull myself to work, the rush there put me off but finally arrived and managed quite a bit although on very frayed nerves, was very impatient, too much talking, still very hard to bear noises.

Arrived home exhausted, much more than I should be to a huge fresh urine stain on my couch from my aging dog who has been leaving me stinky gifts every day for the last two months, beginning of Alzheimer's said the vet which makes him forget to leave his business outside.. so very challenging on my already weak nerves and goodness I'm trying so hard not to lose it but everything is extremely overwhelming! after failed cleaning attempts went for a short evening walk which wasn't refreshing but glad I forced myself anyway.

So overall better than last week's brutality but still definitely needs improvement..

It doesn't seem fair that life happens while we're in WD. I'm so sorry to hear about your fur baby. Pets really are like family. We really have to live one day to the next to deal with everything.
