this is an old post...not an ongoing fundraiser Amy has been so crippled, traumatized and cognitively impaired by her circumstances she had to get help from her friend to write the below. She also happens to be very very smart with a mind for medicine so she does go into some detail. She has not... Continue Reading →
Okay. I've arrived. I actually came in yesterday as the trip here--two days in the car, was rough. I feel a bit like I'm in the twilight zone. In some good ways, and some not so good. The first thing I did before entering the center was go see a doc. She was the most... Continue Reading →
My condition has been getting progressively worse. I no longer am able to do some of the little things I enjoyed like cooking in 5 minute increments with lots of breaks. I now can essentially only get up to go to the bathroom and occasionally I can handle a trip to the fridge or to... Continue Reading →
I take L-Theanine along with a handful of other amino acids---it is also an amino acid. Besides helping my poor cognitively impaired brain focus a bit, it also relaxes me. I take my final dose at bedtime. A lot of this article I'm quoting from is crap. I'm excerpting a bit about some studies because... Continue Reading →
You don't have to have Celiac Disease to be sensitive to gluten. The below study shows how often it plays a part in the picture of people labeled "schizophrenic." There are lots of people who find cutting out gluten helps all sorts of mental health issues, from rumination, to irritability to autism to bipolar disorder.... Continue Reading →
I posted Will Hall's story a couple years ago and at that point it was already at least a couple of years old. He updated his story six months ago and asked that I publish the newer version here as well. So here it is. Since I was a child I've struggled with extreme emotions,... Continue Reading →
Updated 2024: Mentally in some respects I feel better than ever. I am clear, I feel my emotions and I am productive. More productive than ever, ironically as I lie in bed unable to function physically. My creativity has been unleashed and I produce this blog and offer inspiration to others daily. This is spite of atrocious cognitive impairment, invisible to most everyone.
Adrenal functioning tends to get even worse over the course of a psych drug withdrawal so it makes sense to look at them again. From the very beginning these docs at this practice have wanted me to take Cortisol, a natural steroid, to pump up my adrenals. Way early on, before I knew what I was doing, I looked at the side effect profile and said NO–it was a gut feeling. Since then I’ve studied my circumstance in depth and consulted with numerous people all over the country and I now have tons of anecdotal evidence that taking Cortisol in my condition is downright dangerous. I’ve been telling them this for about 3 years now. (now I know that it could even be life-threatening for me) ...
I am continuing my break from the net but thought I would repost an old piece that has substance. This piece was published first in ICSPPs journal last year, but it was rewrite of something even eariler. In many ways I've grown since this was written. I've updated it very slightly but not much. Practicing... Continue Reading →
On Medical News Today the study they report on show using modafinil (Provigil) to help control that nasty weight-gain side effect. The other day I posted that it's been found that Provigil is ADDICTIVE just like the antipsychotics they want to add it onto. So once again we start adding on the drugs. And now... Continue Reading →
