Hello Jhan and Igloo9:
Thank you both for your responses.
To be honest forever (three months is that to me) avoiding caffeine and sweeteners completely has been impossible for me. I can go a few days without tea and as for honey or sweets I am quite addicted. I do eat home made meals and whole foods, we grew a little: stunted collard greens, happy spinach, vibrant oregano..., yet I am limited in what I eat to what my meager funds provide.
As for the supplement recommendations, I have tried a variety of vitamins, tinctures (Ashwaganda, Medicinal Mushrooms, Adrenal Tonic, Liver Tonic, etc) and other supplements with little consistent results. I wonder if I need to do a cleanse to improve absorption. The idea of a fast is a daunting idea.
When I encountered the job at the organic farm that caused this problem with my health, I had just been volunteering at a meditation center, meditating three times a day. I had been a meditator for twelve or so years. I continued meditating twice a day for two years, well into my injury and healing attempts with AF. People keep telling me to meditate. In my experience it didn't remedy the agitation I felt all those minutes and hours that my body was wired and agitated. So I stopped meditating so much and instead am active and pursue what interests are challenging without driving me out of my mind. This has helped me lighten up.
Every morning for the past few weeks I have been doing a Bentonite and psyllium husk drink. Before that I was making a Liver Flush for a few weeks in hopes of cleaning up some of my system.
Drinking tea and having sweets is my treat. Vacations are stressful, eating out is stressful, hanging out with friends and family is stressful, meditating can be stressful, commuting to doctors appointments are so stressful I fail to even have a job. Food, at this time, appears to be one of my reliable comforts.
When I think of it the politics and limitations of the workplace are so disappointing and disillusioning, I dread being well enough to physically be able to work as I feel incapable of holding my own in the dog eat dog culture that passes for our world....
The doctors ignore my results other than how my Vitamin D is and my cholesterol. I just want to be comfortable in my own skin.
