So I barely survived the trip home. Made the right call to delay leaving by 2 days, so we missed all the weather. Day 1 wasn't too bad. Day 2 started with another MCAD-like attack after my morning supplements. So I stopped all my tinctures, since that seems to be the only common trigger. Normally, I just need to sleep after one happens...but I couldn't do that this time. Day 3 was ok-ish until lunch....then I felt horrible after that and just kinda wanted to curl up and die. Couldn't put the seat back or lie down (too much stuff in the car). Didn't take any of my tinctures yesterday or today.

Today I feel like death. Extremely weak and wiped out. Dehydrated.....but I have no desire to drink. Trying to force the issue...but don't feel like I'm making any progress. Felt briefly better after I forced some lunch down...but feel like death again. And of course now I have critters to feed on top of it all.

Was hoping to work on re-hydrating today and then make a nice detox salad for dinner (kale, avocado, blueberries and red wine vinegar). But I barely have the strength to sit..not sure I can cook. And of course the avocados were on a 50% off sale, very ripe...and I have 5.

I'm just too weak and nauseous to eat or drink......and I don't have the strength to find/unpack my anti-nausea stuff.

I'm still taking my supplements, since they're all just supportive.

Any suggestions on re-hydrating? So far warm water w/ lemon juice & apple cider vinegar isn't going down well.

I'm so very sorry to hear this, Sayyadina.

Remember that anything is better than nothing. Herbal teas of any type sound good? I like ginger or peppermint when my stomach is messing with me.

When I just can't handle any more lemon water, I switch to lime water, and I will even sweeten it with a bit of stevia sometimes.

Maybe instead of just water you might need some electrolytes, too?

Here is an easy recipe:

1/2 t sea salt
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 C lemon juice (I've used bottled stuff when necessary)
1 T. lime juice
1/4 C. honey (or maple syrup)
7 C. water.

If your body needs the electrolytes it'll taste awesome and you'll just suck it down. My husband swears by this when he gets limp and weak feeling.

I'm so glad that things are easing up for you now, Sayyadina!! Maybe it was just too much activity and your body registered it as stress? I hope that you can get some good rest now.

Make sure when you go shopping to pick up what you need for the electrolyte stuff. :)

Glad you are feeling better!
