Thanks for this. Been fighting lowered immune system for 5 months, so reading here it makes so much sense. Stress levels, even good stress has been over the top. Should settle down now but have done everything possible to minimize the stress, eating well, resting as much as possible to keep the hypervigilence, dreams and exhaustion in check but it's all leaking out the sides a bit now and I need to reign-in.
It can make one feel discouraged, overwhelmed and hopeless. What can I say? Here's hoping some bike rides in the sunshine, eating some great 'real' foods and getting a chance to work on some art work will help. My counsellors have been there for me all along and if they weren't I'm thinkin' things would be worse. Not sure what I'd do without them but this time I still leaked around the edges. Five rounds of anti-biotics but I think it's also due to a tooth infection. Need four teeth removed, with no dental plan, stress around that is trying to rob me of my serenity. Have to figure in step-by-step, how to pay and how to face the drip or general anesthetic. Why dentists and doctors don't think our heads (gums specifically) are part of the whole body is beyond me. *sigh*
