Low Blood Pressure

Hello friends!

I know I know, I haven't been saying much lately. When I do its usually about how I am and that's about it...
I promise, more will be coming soon. Essential oils have been on my mind lately. I am thinking about joining Doterra. Out of all of my research they seem to have the most pure oils, consistently. How I came to that conclusion will be a post of its own.
Ill be honest though, I will not be one of those oil dealers who claim only their product is the best and cannot ever be compared against. It could even be true, I don't know. There are just several qualities about Doterra and there products I personally appreciate.


On to my progress

Overall, I have been loaded down, crazy busy. In the past, a week like I just experienced would have thrown me in the bed for days. On an extra bad day following a busy time, I would just lay there trembling listing to whatever was on the TV or Netflix. Sometimes in pain from inflamed, angry joints. Oftentimes I would have neuropathy, burning skin, down my arms, legs, and feet. I would just have to ride it out. I had coconut oil for neuropathy and my phone for Netflix. I knew it would end soon, it was only temporary.
Anyway, I did have a down day today. I woke up after noon, with a headache. Being Monday, its my no pill day. My doctor wants to skip my supplements one day a week, I picked Monday.
I tried to hold out on the acetaminophen, I really did. But when my headache was still holding on strong at dinner, it was time..but I did take the lowest dose possible.
Now my headache is gone and I am feeling better, but I am still exhausted.

Backtracking a little bit- Yesterday my blood pressure started crashing. I walked up to a friend once and the only thing I had a chance to say was "going down, hold on." and I continued our conversation from his feet. The funny thing is, my friends expect weird things like this from me...so he just laughed and continued on. No questions asked.
I personally believe my low BP is the reason I cannot exercise. When I try to exercise my BP will start to randomly drop. This week, I have been through plenty of exercise and it caught up to me yesterday. It wasn't intentional, body building healthy exercise. I have just had a lot to do.

I had maybe three crashes yesterday. None really bad, I never really fell down or came close to passing out. But I did have to make a quick sit down a few time, usually in the grass around someone's feet. Or once a table, lol.
It continued today, along with nausea. It has finally began to subside, now that I have rested most of the day.

Back to the present
I have another busy, though not loaded, several days ahead. I think I will hold out, a year ago I couldn't say something like this. Two years ago there for sure was no chance I couldn't do anything strenuous for more than one or two days. Even if I did, I would spend the equal amount of time in bed, with my phone and Netflix.

Cats Claw and NAC

As of yesterday I have added yet more to my treatment regimen, cats claw and N-Acetyl-Cysteine.
I finished the POA phytolens a few days ago, which was TOA free cats claw from my ND. So as I said I would, I replaced it. This time around, I am using a liquid cats claw which I have never used before. Yesterday I took 14 drops then 28 drops later. Today I took the same, plus I will add a second round of 28 drops. I plan on building up to 28 drops 3x daily.

I am taking just one capsule of NAC, 500mg. I plan on sticking to this one daily dose for now.
ALA (which I am already taking) and NAC play hand in hand with eachother, both are used to make glutathione. I am hoping for the combo of ALA and NAC to be sufficient for removing heavy metals and detoxing my liver.

I finished the black walnut capsules on Sunday (Nov.22), I take this periodically to help keep any parasites at bay. I will probably take another bottle in February.
I didn't notice much if any symptom change from this, so I probably didn't have much of a parasite load.

I haven't been feeling as great lately. Not the usual fatigue, but other symptoms. For example, eating has been a struggle. I just haven't felt like eating, and I haven't been able to eat much. Today I had a juice and a nut bar before work, worked 10:00-6:00, then didn't eat until 7:30...just didn't feel like it.
This doesn't sound like much for most people, but I cannot afford to lose weight or nutrition. I don't think I absorb nutrients well, I used to eat more because I keep being told I need to. I am 6' 4", 130lbs! I should weigh about 180 if I remember correctly. The most I have every weighed was 138lbs, when I was on IV's and Doxy...almost 2 years ago...
That's crazy, I look anorexic, but I just cannot eat anymore...my stomach says no.
I try to make sure I drink homemade juice and a protein shake daily, that way I know I am at least getting some of the important nutrients, it just isn't the same as really eating though...

I have been more dizzy lately, definitely heart related. I can feel my BP drop or jump.
It happens at random times, like the other night I was laying in bed late at night, my BP just takes off. What the heck...
I don't want that to progress, its a tougher symptom to reverse...

I know a good bit of my symptoms are related to nutrition though, I just don't think my body can use nutrients well. I just cannot figure out why...
