Holy Optics... I can See! Eye Doc visit this morning; a new doc as I could not endure another status quo visit with my doc of 5 years while vision continued to decline.
The first thing the tech did when she saw my contact lenses (I had an extra pair for them to pull the prescription) was 'uhm... No One wears this version anymore... this is a black & white TV in an HD world....' Seriously??
Then the exam where I was told my eyes were very healthy ((thank goodness SOMETHING on me IS) and the reason I couldn't see distances at all was my prescription was backward or upside down - totally wrong for my vision issue hence struggling to see for a year. I can actually see now (with the temps she gave me). Night & day. Black and White. Amazing Grace.
I won't even touch the 'wrong prescription for a year' with my old doc. Just happy it's fixed and I can move on. All I can offer from this is if you too are struggling.. maybe it's time to change clinics. Could be that simple a fix.
I updated my bio yesterday - once again trying to explain why I am back here. I think updating it coincided with someone leaving an unsolicited cryptic yet critical comment on my journal Don't leap down there - it's been deleted followed by doing something for the first time ever and that was wave the 'buddy be gone' wand.
Before ye judge me an egotistical unreasonable bitch, hear me out. I don't mind comments. In fact, I welcome them. Even long rambling ones, LOL. If something I journal get's you to thinking and applying to your own struggles and victories I'm very happy you want to share with me. I don't mind advice ala eliminating certain food groups that may be causing me discomfort. And I don't mind just random sharing remarks whether related to my journal or not.
But if you have a criticism for me wherein you feel the need to remind me this 'is Fat Secret' and in so many words explain that I'm not utilizing the food diary, exercise, weigh in, etc., correctly, well, feel free to private message me and we'll discuss it.
But before you do, start from the 2017 journals and read my bio and you'll maybe understand why I'm approaching my issues in MY journal differently because, well, let's face it... all the tools here are really great, but I'm not utilizing them just yet. I'm starting here. Processing. Cleansing thoughts. Getting back on my feet. Eating fresher with the boxed meals arriving.
I'm not, no, never ever claiming my way is the best way for and and all. Hell, I don't even claim it's the best way for me. But I won't know that until I give this a try.
So enough of that.
I do read and appreciate your helpful comments. And while I understand the benefits of a modified fast I'm actually seeking the 'reboot' of a full three day fast.
I am considering renting a house for a weekend fasting in Dallas in May...maybe on my Birthday (something I can't do here with a fully stocked pantry and fridge) as I've been reading it offers wonderful properties for antibodies. While there I would pamper myself with maybe another colonic one day (if the first one proves beneficial) and massage another day, maybe even a facial or acupuncture or mani-pedi other days. Just a rejuvenation weekend and when I returned home and the first thing I would do my best to eliminate would be lactose products.
Reading up, preparing for the colonic, deciding if this was something I really wanted to do I read 'nutritionists and health advocates note that no species other than human continues to eat milk or dairy after the infant stage.'
There was much follow up about mucus and stuff blocking full passage but I'm going to keep the graphics out of my journal. You can google this stuff. And I do love the dairy so I'm going to seek lactose free items and monitor if the bloat, pain, etc., IF dissipated by the colonic... returns.
Makes sense - the instructions for the colonic include the absence of red meat, dairy and breads for the 48 hours prior.
Regardless, I plan to reintroduce foods one by one to monitor the effect.
After all, it's all in the gut, right?
