Unbelievable...

@questforhealth

I have a couple of other simplicities to add. Not opposing your own intuition, @Razvan or @CO3's angles. Just additive.

If you make a thread I'll do it there.

@brad Sure. It's supposed to be about members who were banned from the RP Forum. Some folks are posting about health stuff, iron, copper, etc...all fine and good but shouldn't those be in another thread?

Oops. Yea. This is probably supposed to be our job not a moderators.

That was a special case. I'll OCD thy self in future.

@questforhealth

By all means. Any data points you can get are good. Just don't fixate on them in isolation.

And yea it's good that you notice. Many don't seem to. But I guess that's one of the benefits of feeling "unwell". As long as we're committed to self exploration, this is when we can be most aware.

A lot of my personal nooticing's have come from a more retarded-male version of this. Like how could it be that I could feel better on a Saturday morning than I have all week, having just drank like a fish the night before. With a lot of trial, error and erratic reading. I realised there are (somewhat) distinct compartments. And retention in one not the other can be the difference between a good day and a bad day. A diuretic like horsetail tea (or a fifth of whiskey) can reveal.

I always have horrible impulse control which I believe may be down to copper toxicity, that also would explain for me the racing mind at night as I imagine less active adrenals at night make the copper release into the blood?

I don't know enough here. I could tell you more about OSI layers than I could about copper metabolism.

That said. From what I did read around it its handling can be fragile. And more generally, a "toxicity" wouldn't necessarily require a restriction of that thing. It's commonly held that the dose makes the poison. But how can you have a dose without a concentration. If you can manage to get your fluid down and your food up (easy does it). You'll retain more, have more solute dissolved in it and perhaps be more resilient to internal or external toxicological insult.

I’ve always just had insatiable thirst. I think I just drink for the sake of drinking. Like just like the feel of drinking???

Don't worry, this will subside. Just don't forget to replace the fluid with food. Slowly.

I could put myself in this state somewhere inside 48 hours by simply acting in to it. And then remove myself from it in another 48 by acting out of it. Which either way, involves acting against impulse or desire. It's hard to describe.

The body just seems to have all these set points and it's constantly looking for the one that's closest to behaviour, somewhere between the now and not too distant past. And we can sit in them for a very long time if we're distracted or addressing the resulting frames of mind at higher levels.

@questforhealth

Aha now we're talking! Restrict! But do it slowly. Your physiology's probably patterned around this.

(Obviously in spite of my enthusiasm I can't be sure, this just rings with me for my own experiences. In my often crazy experiments with fluid balance. All in pursuit of reliably consistent cognitive function.)

It’s been hard to sleep regularly for a while now. I need stimulation from a phone 24/7. Very strange. Slowly improving and funnily enough dopamine agonist drugs like amphetamines helped men with some of my symptoms. But bad brain fog makes it hard to remember what to do say to day and the lack of energy is shocking.

Aside from what I'm about to say, it may also be worth tracking your body weight a few times intraday for a while with some sensitive scales. Whenever, if ever, you can find the energy/order to do that. The slight deviations can tell you what you're holding in fluid compartments and intestinal tract. Along with a scribble or two of behaviour and feeling, and some deliberate changes in pattern. This can be quite revealing.

If there's already a lot of liquid in your diet I think you could really notice the fog lift in a couple of days just by restricting it. Which may involve eating more and/or having each meal a bit earlier than you otherwise would, in opposition to an immediate desire to drink something. That is to say, it may take a couple of days for a thirst to become a hunger. Or a hunger to become a thirst if it's the other way round.

But my suggestion here probably doesn't seem very "Peaty". It might be. I still need to revisit everything he may have said about the assembly of structure.

Makes my heart sick.

They'll see it in time.

Please don't let this part stick around too long. Damage can be done to the undeceivable as much as the deceived.

@questforhealth

Ok no problem. I've been there I think. At the point I've needed record the most, at times I lacked the focus to keep them. Memory suffices.

That's quite the degree of exhaustion though hmm. How's your circadian, sleep latency and its length? I.e. are you keeping good time in getting to bed most nights, do you get to sleep quite easily and is it 7 or more hours (not that there's a blanket rule). I'm not asking because of the restorative aspect of sleep, but because its quality can reveal things about the waking hours before it.

This isn't an opposition to your own self inquisition and impending acquisition of data points. Continue with that and anything else you're bound to try.

@questforhealth

That doesn't sound unusual to me. If someone's even slightly invested, emotion hath weight. And if we're forced to haul it somewhere we may need a rest.

Aside from that. A spot of fluid restriction after 18:00 and up to bedtime, around a dense and balanced(ish) dinner, may do wonders for sleep inertia. Assuming a person isn't already generally restricting. In which case the opposite may be true.

This very simple thing may be worth testing. Carefully, if you're already off balance. And preferably while self describing in a journal to keep track of it.

@questforhealth

Somehow I think you'll know if there's bad advice in a moment. And even though noise or pain can drown out the sense sometimes, that's often just cue to sleep on it once or twice.

@S-Holmes

Unbelievable! Her efforts almost looked like an attempt to prop the place up, and that's what she got for it...

Insane.

@S-Holmes

Looks like a silent ban, they're not searchable anymore. Not a smart move in response to her reasoned inquisition.

Not a smart move at all. I believe her...

I know. I know. He's also exhibiting various neurological problems on a regular basis. The chap's so featureless I can see it in a time series of text messages.

And it will. Give it time. This won't end well.

In the meantime, on some level. I hope he publicly denounces and retracts so the harm un to others stops, climbs down of his own accord, resumes a varied diet and reforms his marriage. Which by his own admission ended because of carrot related insubordination. Now I'd say this is unlikely. But these are unlikely times.

@thyroidchor27

Wow. Thanks. The music thread there is amusing.

@ProgestTee

Ah I see, thank you. I had a look at the replies. Seems like humble enough attempt to give people new home. That almost went unnoticed.

But I did catch that line from Putin and I did research it a little on line.

Pootin was trolling him and his adoring followers almost constantly, but that moment was spectacular. Seems more than likely Tucker's a farm boy. Just one stupid enough to think he's aligned with institutions or factions that themselves are aligned with "American interests". A useful (flamboyant and cringe) idiot if you will.

Who is this, someone here? lol

If you have not done so already

Yes ma'am, done
