1) Last week I got strange news. At nearly 70yrs old I found out I have Lyme disease not only historically but currently fighting Borrelia with pos IgG and IgM. With the help and support of @CiaraGlenville I am getting myself in the best physical position to start antibiotics.

it may be worth recirculating today too that newly elected Michigan Sen. Abdul El-Sayed authored this 2022 article in The New Republic: "Long Covid Is Just Getting Started. We're Not Ready for It.” newrepublic.com/article/1654…

Update @ouraring Theyve just told me theres nothing wrong with battery, maybe I should turn off some settings to preserve battery life, like blood oxygen, heart rate during activities. Kind of defeats the purpose of having it. Then they ended the chat before I could reply πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
My @oura 4 ring is losing its charge Each ring Ive had lasts about a yr before battery dies. The last one I had was replaced bc they agreed the battery was faulty. This time they've said its normal. I cant justify paying Β£400-500 for what is effectively becoming a disposable item

2) Started Loam prebiotic fibre, kimchi & kombucha. Calling it The Great Reset 🀣 4 days on Loam, my bloating and all my sugar cravings have gone! Watch this space. Not been able to exercise recently, which I miss. Be interesting to see what happens without the supplement stack

They are not cheap, got them on sale or ebay. They eat at different speeds. I used to leave Cocas in a different room because she picks all day and the others would eat it. I had to get extra covers for her bc they would push her away and hold the lid open with their heads 🀯

What sort of an idiot books a hotel room on the top floor with no lift the day after yesterday. Quite a tough night with the body / mental / emotions. But had a breakfast and starting to come around. I will not be getting out of bed today. Impossible to do so πŸ˜…

The Foreign Secretary didn’t just mention it. He said it twice. β€œ20,000 children.” He repeated it so no one could look away. So the horror would sink in. That should have been said long ago. It wasn’t. But it’s not too late. It's time to sanction Israel.

Whats your current favourite band? Me - My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade is doing it for me πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ Considering I was in my late 40s in 2001 its not surprising I missed them the first time round. So many big bands celebrating 20/30/40yr anniversaries. Most of them I remember πŸ™„

1/ My bp is now the "new optimal" 90/67 with lisinapril 5mg and Amlodipine 10mg Im nearly 71 and feel thats too low. Sudden consistant drop a few months ago although been on meds for years. Are these new safe numbers just to keep big pharma busy? Is it time to drop something #med

2/ 4mths ago my bp was still high/erratic at best on meds so I stopped them for few days bp went back to 2020 levels of 199/90. Shocked. Changed several things I was doing/taking, went back on meds and my bp dropped to the optimal levels and has stayed there. Now what? #LC

Whole food cooking for a while but potato crisps, snacks, shop bought gravy. Protein powder been buying Pea protein not whey Sauce mixes most have tomatoes/potato/peas in them. Barley is in so many things from soups to maltesers! Trying to find recipes without eggs/oats πŸ™„
Pea protein in cereal and my protein drinks 😒 potato starch in my cholesterol drink. Tomato in my bone broth. 2 dozen eggs in my fridge ready for batch cooking, egg noodles in my cupboard. Tomatoes and potatoes ffs Soup mix ready for winter - peas and barley. I hope this works

They finally got home after 1 am, having broke down at 11 am. That will be a family holiday they will talk about for a long time Im sure. Im just glad they're safe. Now he has to sort out a car over the bank holiday weekend in time for back to school runs and return to work
Theyve just been picked up now, 11hrs after breaking down. Thats with an 8 &12 yr old in a car in the middle of nowhere. Thank goodness they are on their way home, they must all be exhausted and stressed
