Re: stress = illness

hv - i think you have already made some amazing points about stress/illness/imbalance.

from: //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1476498#i

‘And I avoid stress as much as possible, which is the primary thing I feel keeps me healthy. I try not to worry about things as worrying does not change a thing. And the majority of the time things turn out differently than we expected. So people tend to worry too often over nothing. Just keep believing that everything will be alright.’

‘I don't set an alarm unless I absolutely have to. Otherwise I go to sleep when I am tired and wake up whenever I wake up.’

i have never, ever been good in the morning. i am virtually catatonic for the whole day when i have to wake up to an alarm. and i have never been able to eat before midday. i have been like this since i was a wee thing. i have never accepted a job that requires me to be at work at any particular time (i've only ever worked freelance because, otherwise, it doesn't work well for anyone - least of all me). i am also of the vampiric circadian rhythm: i am most lovely at night. i love 3am.

but. since i got sick, i have had *so* many people tell me that i need to change my kreb's cycle (get up and eat before 9am yada). well, my own system worked perfectly for many more years than it hasn't - so i'm not buying. and now i am particularly hypersensitive to having to wake up to an alarm. if i wake up unnaturally, i cannot construct intelligible sentences for the whole rest of the day, i slur my speech, my legs ache and i feel completely disconnected all day. and the next day: i crash.

i'm so with your theory about stress = illness. and i like your kreb's cycle theory (don't fight it). it just makes perfect sense. and makes me love you just that little bit more ;)
