@Maurice Daher the other important thing I forgot to mention is that I get very cold so easily. I am getting worried as winter is coming and I am not sure how to deal with it. I am unnaturally Cold. For example it was 11 degrees this morning and I was shivering. I got in the car and put up the heating to 26. I have also been getting tingling all over my body. It started a few months ago. I started taking benfotamine and it was helping and then I forgot to keep taking it until yesterday when tingling started to come back. FYI- Last night I took theanine, magnesium glycinate and ashwaganda all together without spacing them out. It helped me to relax even though I didn’t sleep the whole night.

Hi @Maurice Daher I have sent an email to the GP requesting the blood tests recommended. I have stopped taking all supplements for the past month apart from the odd time I mentioned taking ashwaganda with magnesium and l thianine. The only things I am taking are: Aussie trace minerals ( 40 drops x3 a day) Celtic sea salt ( 1/4 upon waking, total x5-6 1/4 tsp throughout the day) Tart cherry 2tbs in the evening when I feel like it. Helps me with sleep and relaxation. Zero in ( 1 or 2 tablets) to help cognitive function- day time Lions mane ( 2 tablets) help cognitive function - day time 1/4 tsp mag citrate when needed. Taurine and glycine after meals Zinc carsonine In the past I have taken Benfotamine with b complex but its been over a month since taking it and when i took it I didn’t finish the bottle. I have also never taken biotin. I believe I am nutrient deficient. I have not been eating nose to tail at all. I plan to take the following when they arrive this week. Beef organ complex Collegen Type 1 and 3

@Maurice Daher thanks for this. I will let her know

@Maurice Daher thanks for your insight. She is feeling very overwhelmed and scared at the moment so I’ve not shared the info yet. I I’ve advised she focus on relaxation techniques and cutting out gluten, seed oils, and anything packaged. When she feels ready she will be in a better position to take in and action the steps

@Maurice Daher quick update- I had a chat with my friend over the weekend. She has been having a tsp of salt spread out through the day for the past week . She has began to urinate and she feels a difference in that her bladder is feeling lighter. Prior to taking salt she was not passing urine in the day and then she would go at least once at night. Since salt she said she has been going about four times a day and it’s only the first week 😊

@Maurice Daher Hi Maurice, Here is an update. 1. My period came 30 days late ( it came on 28 April. I can see I have serious progesterone and estrogen issues). My period should be due in one week, so I’ll see what happens this month. 2. On 2nd May I started to up my dosage of Celtic sea salt. I’ve been playing between 1tsp - 1tsp & 1/2. I still have reflux but it has dramatically improved. ( prior to the 2nd may I was not using salt nearly enough as I should have. Your article on salt helped me realise this). Still have reflux in the night and reflux plays about in the day, but I am only two weeks in of going all in with salt and I am thinking it will take some more time to go. 3. Since taking salt I have noticed: I am more alert in the day. I normally take a natural adaptogen to keep me focused in the day. These past few months I was getting concerned for my fatigue and concentration as I had to up my dose to two tablets. Since 2nd May I have dropped back down to one tablet. I have more focus and energy and I am more awake. I don’t take salt after 4pm unless it’s with my meal. However I think salt has impacted my sleep. My normal pattern for insomnia is between 1-3, but since 2nd May my sleep pattern has been consistently 1-3 and at times I am up for the full three hours and then round 4 I want to sleep but I have to be up at 5am for work. Generally falling asleep quicker. At times I can be asleep by 9-9:30. I have been having short dreams, which is generally unusual for me. I’ve been prioritising rest and relaxation lately, and when I wake at 1am I am I am not stressed. 4. Stool hasn’t changed much. I have days where it is more solid and then it goes back to runny. Since I have been carnivore I have never had properly formed stool. 5. I have upped my fat to round 90g using butter and chicken wings. I have had binges of dark chocolate ( 85-90%) where I’ve gone way over that amount of fat, but I don’t feel it has impacted reflux much. I don’t like the binges I have had on dates, sweets and chocolate. Kicking that to the curb and going to find an alternative solution. I keep forgetting that reflux can kick off the next day. Ten weeks till my 41st birthday and I would love to further improve reflux, and sleep. I find I work better with timeframes. 6. I am constantly reminded of my gallbladder issues so I try to spread fat over all meals. I have noticed that when I am up between 1-3 I do feel my gallbladder twinge. At times it then moves across to the left side. Most of the time I feel bloating in the morning which is why I feel better eating at 8am as I feel my upper stomach is settled. It is a feeling I have got used to over the years and never thought to mention. Currently on 3 meals a day. Meals have been the same and predictable, increasing volume and fat. Currently wake up at 5 and have salt and electrolytes. Breakfast 8am, lunch 12:30 -1 and dinner just after five but definitely no food after 6pm. Still taking taurine and glycine.

@Divina McGuirk thanks so much for your suggestion. Really sorry I didn’t respond before. I will have a look into it. X
