Why can't I do really basic math? Its time to reformulate my horses' diet since I have new hay...but I can't get my brain in line. I've done this before, and its never been this difficult. I can't seem to remember what the calculations are that I'm doing....its like I'm trying to read a foreign language I've never seen before.

And its really simple math (add, subtract, multiply, divide and ratios)....I got straight As in physics and precalc...but I just can't do this.

And I'm stressing since its really, really important that I get this done. There's a spreadsheet that could help, but I can't get a hold of it.

Getting a bit of a head pressure headache from trying to puzzle this out....

It's the toxins that are in your brain. I dealt with this severely when I was trying to use pharma abx. It got so bad cognitively for me that my husband had to tell me what to do - in VERY simple terms, I might add - each and every day or I had no clue what to do with myself.

Whatever you are using for brain detox, I suggest that you increase it, or add in more things to help your brain detox.

This almost certainly has to do with the increased stress that has been in your life these last weeks.

These are the brain herbs I'm on.

Anise
Chinese senega root
Chinese skullcap
Stephania
Kudzu

Probably should take 3 doses today instead of my usual 2?

I would say try raising them one at a time - you won't know which one might be too high a dose otherwise.

Do you know if you can tolerate Jernigan's Antitox formulas, particularly the CNS/PNS one? I've heard good things about it.

I took another dose of the anise and my brain felt a bit clearer. So I took some of everything except Senega, since I know that one gets me sometimes. Brain feels clearer, but also sleepy.

It's almost time to go out to feed, and I just want to take a nap. Plus it's 90 out with about 50% humidity. I probably should make sure the horses are ok....but I really don't want to go outside.

Can't believe I'm saying this....but I miss days where it's 15 degrees and there's 2ft of snow on the ground.

Don't feel bad - we have those weather conditions right now too (I just checked), and I'm obviously inside!! I'm snapping green beans from the garden and watching over the forum and a few other things today!! LOL!

Can you stream-line your feeding process for the next few days?

I know what you mean, I caught myself thinking that I'll be glad when the colder weather arrives!! We've had several incidences in the last week that don't happen with cold weather!! LOL!

Sticky notes saved me..... I had them all over my cupboards for months and just took them all down, I was like, 'good grief, I sure couldn't comprehend a thing!'

I'm Much better now, you'll come around sayyadina...

My dad has taken over am feeding, so I just have to do the pm feeding. Its just having to be outside in 90 degree heat.

And I guess I'm making progress on the diet front. Was just on fluids and crackers. Now fluids, crackers, yogurt, raw milk and potatoes. Yes, I know it's not a healthy balanced diet....but it's the only thing I can tolerate right now.

Feeling kinda feverish, dizzy, weak and air hunger-y. And the darn liver pain thing is being annoying too. Grrr.....

I hope that you can get through this time quickly!!!

For Toby I can't tell if his brain issues are due to the brain injury or Lyme. It makes it so much harder.

I bought a daily planner today. I don't have the energy to try and remember anything. I had to buy pill boxes for am, lunch and pm doses. I'm so tired of thinking up what's for dinner. Like Bill Murray says in What about Bob, "A vacation from my problems!" That's what I need. lol
