Congrats. I can imagine there is an anti climax. Inevitably some (even minuscule) sadness. Even at having to had go through this horrible sitch. Nevertheless, it is a milestone that had to be achieved and I am very pleased you did - all that time ago : )
Lovely times ahead with JJ and family and no G I trust.
Hope the studies are going well. I am sure they are.
Hopefully this post will work.....
Surfer.
It did!
And yes if I wasn't so busy I would be flat...
The G is gone gone gone at least in this girl. It is odd! Very strange like I reached the cliff edge only to find it wasn't one.

Sorry about the fatigue and ice and pins and needles.
There's this fitness/nutrition nutcase, Ben Greenfield, who swears by the kion coffee enema. He says it makes him feel clean as a whistle and his energy levels go ballistic. No way would I do that, but I'm hoping I can get you to give it a try and report back.
Dear V- are you resting? Or are you burning yourself out?
Take some melatonin (all antural) and allow yourself a good nights rest. I often feel sick when I am emotionally and physically exhausted. A nice day of sleeping and doing nothing is the cure.
You mentioned you are a diabetic? How are your blood sugar levels?
But coffee enemas aren't exactly some new underground biohacking method. The coffee bean and coffee plant have been part of herbal medicine, folk medicine and shamanic healing for thousands of years. One colorful description of an enema is found in the Dead Sea scrolls:
"...seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd, having a stalk the length of a man; take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the angel of water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels. Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the angel of water and pray to the living God that he will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the angel of water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease. Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan."
The pins and needles are a sign of peripheral neuropathy. This can be due to diabetes ( Metanx is a prescription vitamin proven to improve diabetic peripheral neuropathy - takes about six months - and alpha lipoid acid also helps). B12 deficiency can also be a cause so definitely get your levels checked (should be above 400 fasting without taking any oral B12 for 24 hours before the test).
Thiamine deficiency can also cause it - this is seen most often in heavy drinkers, people with poor nutrition or people consuming raw egg whites.
However of course that means frequent checks and tests, my thyroid is underactive too. So I exercise a lot.
It's odd but you guys all go physiological whereas I go nut job.
Bloods are OK Ginger but no I haven't rested as I have to work full on to stay afloat. I still have that last tranche of L payments to make.
I love doodler suggestion that part of me is full of shite which needs an evacuation. I suspect it's the shite sandwiches I have been forced to eat that caused the blockage. I do love coffee though but will not be tempted to switching from the usual oriface for ingestion. But thanks for the suggestion. I have already more than paid for any past sins which are largely non indictable. I do wished I had sinned a bit more but I guess it's not in my nature.
Kml I have a docs appointment next week, had a thyroid test and vit D serum so we will see what comes of that. I am a vegetable as I eat so much of them.....
Last time was told to have a holiday! Oh yes with the money houndS chasing for payment.
Still thank you all for your concern, will report back.
