The Begining

Yesterday was day one of a juice detox.

I know it sounds radical, but after further reading, I realised I am already exhibiting signs of FXTAS (reference NFXF):

• Cognitive/intellectual decline, including short-term memory loss, loss of math or spelling skills, difficulty making decisions, and other intellectual functions.
• Numbness or burning of the hands and feet (neuropathy).
• Low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension).
• Personality or mood changes, which might include increased irritability, outbursts of anger, and inappropriate or impulsive behavior not typical of or consistent with the person’s previous personality.
• Difficulty with organizing, planning, anticipating, and carrying out of everyday life tasks and activities (“executive function skills”).
• Difficulty learning new tasks.
• Fybromyalgia

If you are wondering, yes, I am following up with the Dr.  However, after all the scans, blood tests, urine tests etc, my GP could do no more, so now I'm on anti-inflammatory meds and waiting for a specialist appointment,  However, I refuse to do nothing while I wait for our health systems very slow cogs to turn.

After watching the documentary Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead I've decided to kick of a 10 day vege and fruit detox (which my sister is doing with me).  I'll also be using some doTerra oils to help my system.
