My allergies haven't been this severe since I last lived in Idaho. I've also never seen such high pollen counts in North Dakota. So I'm doing what I can to manage my symptoms, but I'm also doing what I can to grow more resilient. Eating local bee pollen is a great way to help your body build up a tolerance to the local pollens. I sprinkled it on my unsweetened sheep milk yogurt. I added a little allulose, then stirred in some blueberries and vanilla extract. It's delicious!

What a year it's been. I have written blogs about it, but I didn't share them here. I may start to publish more here again as I'm reclaiming some sense of "normalcy" again. Here's my latest blog:

Day 12 ME Awareness Month

📌

People with ME can sometimes operate significantly above their actual illness level for certain periods of time because of surges of adrenaline - albeit at the cost of severe and prolonged worsening of illness afterwards for days or weeks or longer when these bursts of adrenaline wear off.

This is what I've been going through since 2012 after H1N1. Sincerely hoping Covid doesn't relapse me. I don't want to lose any progress I've made...

I have covid. On day 12 of it. I wanted to document it in a blog, but I'm too tired to deal with adding my Oura Ring and Fitbit charts showing how covid affected me.

Ladies, I want to share with you all that I really like this bra. It does contain some synthetic nylon, but it hasn't irritated my overly sensitive skin. It's mostly wool, which is really breathable and temperature-regulating. It's one of the only size-inclusive options I've found that works on my skin! It's super comfortable!

A little philosophy about why physical health has to be nurtured mentally and spiritually. Sun Tea. Eli Hewson.

I'm working on how-to posts too, which I've been lacking all year, but my limited energy is leading me to needing to write about some philosophy first.

Every time I get tested for B6, my lab results show it's high. I do not supplement with b6, and I haven't for years because of having B6 toxicity that caused intense nerve pain. I reduced my level in my blood quite a bit, and calmed that nerve pain down, but all my tests still show it's high. This is new information for me, and maybe could explain some of my ongoing symptoms (symptoms I just blame on POTS):

"B6 indirectly raises acetylcholine."

This is true. Taking control of health means a paradigm shift in your thinking and lifestyle choices. It requires education about how food and your environment impacts your body. But if you prefer convivence over health then that is your choice - yes, it is a choice.

The world of retail products is changing. Economy, supply chain, ingredient sourcing... many companies are making changes. I wanted to write about a few of the products that changed for the worse, and then tell you what I switched to using. It starts with a bit about how Fitbit works though, because it's about time for me to replace this one... I can't read the screen!
