I want to read a book again!

[Guest guest]

Any of you go from avid readers to unable to read a book and then get

it back?

I can't read. I start reading way too fast, get lost on the page and

lose interest. It feels like my brain races.

I had 11 amalgams safely removed in 2004/5. I didn't do much as far

as supplements for about 4 months, so I crashed. I have myself on a

few things (multimineral, 2 grams EFAs/day, B complex). I've

chelated with oral DMSA/ALA (15 mgs/20 mgs) according to Andy's

recommendations for about 15 rounds.

Other than reading, I feel like I can focus. I do get racing

thoughts from time to time but they are not irrational (I just think

about a lot of things at once). I also occasionally feel like I'm in

that 'flight or fight' mode (seems related to my hormone cycle). I'm

42.

HELP! I miss my books.

I'm guessing adrenals?

Hey Pam,

I, too, am an avid reader and had the same difficulty. I've been doing pretty

good since chelating (five months)...although I've had something of a setback

this month...unable to concentrate for long periods of time and thoughts

scrambled. I think it's more related to being out of Vit. E for more than a

week. I also suspect, for you, that you need to supplement for your adrenals or

perhaps more magnesium? (racing thoughts and anxiety, I guess, can be related

to either?)

Hope this helps,

Robyn
