The HGH Experiment

It's been a weird week. My cycle began at the end of last week - it was longer than normal and started/stopped the first few days annoyingly. That being said, overall, less pain than normal 9I only took pain killers one day). I did have a few days of anxiety and depression after a fairly intense trigger. I felt like I was somewhat able to control it more than normal. I did have some mild headaches and have had some issues with my ability to think and short term memory - in fact, I just got on the computer to ship some items I sold and realized I had mixed up packages and sent the wrong item to one person and missed shipping the other one all together. That's how my memory issues work - I have no idea and no recall (I looked at the items and saw what was in them like 4 times over the weekend and didn't put it together) until I've already made the mistake. It's actually triggering my anxiety and panic (the knowledge that I put someone else out or make a mistake that ...

This was an interesting week. Enough that it gets it's own post so I don't forget a few things... First, I had a chiropractor appointment. I've needed one for some time since I fell...chasing a balloon...a child's balloon...ok, trying to steal a kids balloon. I don't want to talk about it. LOL Anyway, I usually adjust very hard. With my swelling I typically take ibu and ice beforehand to try to reduce the swelling. Because of that adjustments, especially in my hips and a few localized spots very low on my backbone that I tend to have issues with, are very painful (but then drastically reduce the pain til I do something brilliant again...). I adjusted SO easily and SO painfree. The chiropractor (who's been treating me for years) agreed that, for me, my inflammation was way down. Second, I worked out. As in, I didn't force myself. I actually have been feeling the urge to want to workout and actually desire it. I've been so busy trying to get caught up th...

Not much to report...hence the smashing 2 weeks into one. I've continued to have a good month. Energy wise I've been doing very well. I purposely put myself into a anxiety triggering situation (a little putting the past to rest) and did not have an anxiety attack which interested me. It bothered me, but was very helpful instead of triggering I felt. I've been treated with the energy healing now for anxiety specifically, so it's hard to tell which, or both, have helped, but I would say that it appears I'm making strides there.

And just like that 2 weeks/cycles of treatment are past. I'm...intrigued. The gel has been on backorder since April when I ordered (bright side, I got my order in right as the company, which is very new, got so slammed with orders that it's initial production of the gel was wiped out. They had to stop shipping, reconfigure the company to handle the order volume/customer service on a much larger scale than they anticipated, find new manufactures that could meet the demand, etc before they could start shipping again. They still are not filling new orders, so even though it took 3 months to get mine, at least I beat the shutdown period!). I also didn't have the mood swings that I normally get (they tend to be tied to the headaches, which anyone with a house full of active kids and sound/light sensitive headache/migraine suffers will totally understand!). I started the gel, as it turns out, the same week my cycle started. Between the QEST sessions and the gel, something is di...

Part 2 In the past four or five years I’ve begun to transition into perimenopause. My anxiety began to increase. Panic attacks became a new and not so fun thing. My headaches became increasingly migraine like. I fell into times of exhaustion where just getting out of bed was a struggle. I used to be a nightowl - now an early bedtime and sleeping for 13 or 14 hours could easily be my norm. The concept of feeling wide awake or having energy is rare.  Worst of all, I began losing my memory. At first it was only in times of stress and was so spotty it seemed perfectly normal. But gradually it worsened. Over the past 5 years it’s become increasingly serious - and scary - to a point of sometimes being debilitating. At my worst I can’t copy information correctly to a calendar or correctly take accurate notes. With 5 kids and a business to run, I began to make increasingly serious mistakes. The anxiety of wondering what the next mistake I would make snowballed as the stress and te...

Part 1 I have an invisible illness.   It’s nameless.   Looking back, I’ve struggled my entire life with symptoms of allergies, depression and anxiety, sleeping and breathing issues…but it wasn’t until my 20’s that my symptoms began to skyrocket. I first thought I had sprained my ankle but couldn’t remember hurting it. My right foot was swollen and an achy painfulness. It never went away. At the time we had no health insurance so I iced and elevated and the swelling would come and go with varying degrees of severity. It was a few years until I was able to go to a doctor. A course of steroids later I was told they had no diagnosis. “You just swell”. I tried another doctor. X-rays, veinous dopplars, blood work and more for the same non-diagnosis. I was out of money, frustrated and grossed out by my own body.   Years passed. I had kids and the swelling got worse. Somedays I could literally sink my finger all the way into my foot. Doctor’s still couldn’t give ...
