Lion’s mane: Repairing your myelin

I keep noticing how nature has this weird and wonderful way of offering us clues to our own healing; often through locational juxtapositions (a cure found growing very close to the trigger "event") or visual clues. So when I came across Lion's Mane Mushroom as a possible route to repairing myelin, the coincidence of it resembling a sea anenome...our common ancestor when it comes to the evolution of our nervous system...took me aback and excited me, all at once! I just knew I was on to something...(read more).

Living with electro-sensitivity

Is electro-sensitivity really "Type 3 diabetes" as research now suggests? This would certainly fit in with my experiences of it. Here's a frank discussion of the symptoms of ES plus suggestions of how to live with it and make your home habitable again...plus an invitation to talk about these things far more openly instead of discussing them in the rather embarassed and furtive way that has become the norm. If this is you, you aren't alone - a lot of people (one estimate suggests up to 60 million people) are now finding their health is being seriously affected by a sensitivity to EMFs. Its time...not to make an enemy of technology but... to open up the discussion so access to technology can evolve along side us, not at the expense of homeostasis and good quality of life. For me, its been a challenging yet enlightening journey. Throwing in my two-penneth from personal experience...(read more).

Colours passing through – the fibromyalgia synesthesia link

Top of the most interesting topics to write about this week, and not for the first time, is the subject of synesthesia which is something I’ve been aware of having all my life, though I only discovered the word used to label the phenomenon when I was in my twenties. My original post, called Walking … Continue reading Colours passing through – the fibromyalgia synesthesia link

When science catches up with symptoms

An article jumped out at me from my newsfeed today - one which announces that researchers have correlated symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and giant cell arteritis with solar cycles. For as long as I can recall, I have been declaring that there seems to be a distinct link between fibromyalgia symptoms and the solar cycle … Continue reading When science catches up with symptoms

Know your triggers

The same should apply to us all really; if you get to know your triggers in life you can smartly side-step them or at least minimise the impact they have on you. If fibromyalgia is part of your picture, you very likely have multiple triggers that can set off a flare-up of symptoms. So my … Continue reading Know your triggers

When space weather becomes our weather

While there is (clearly) a link between space weather and what we experience down here on earth, my intimate awareness of this through fibromyalgia has taught me that its not a bad thing or anything to be feared...in fact, it is like a giant cosmic invitation to step back and get out of fear...and the way it impacts my health depends on how I respond to this opportunity. If I actually scrub my diary of all the human trivia and pull back from doing anything much at all, these days can be the most creative of all, literally like taking a huge cosmic chill-pill.
