Hi,I usually would not do this but I am really feeling under the weather today and am having issues with my auto immune condition & infections back to back.I could really use some healing wishes and energy if anyone could spare them.I am suffering from fatigue so bad I can easily sleep 16 hours a day and I cannot afford to do that with my toddler and 2 other kids.I feel like a horrible mother & it's downright depressing.I have periods of a week or more that I go through this but warm weather is coming and that makes it worse.Last summer I could barely make it out of bed.I appreciate you reading this.I wish you all love & light.

Healing energies are being sent to you as we speak I hope you feel better soon

Positive thoughts and healing wishes sent your way, feel better soon

Thank you my friends May god and goddesses bless you. :grouphug:

"Feel good" energies and healing thoughts being sent your way.

- am sending healing energies but I'm better at helping with the actual physical/ mental side of your illness.
I don't want to pry into your privacy, but I'm curious to know if your current condition is being looked after not just by a doctor but through the use of diet, and maybe herbs and oils? I have a very good friend with an autoimmune condition and though she still has rough patches, her flareups don't seem to happen as often.
I'm afraid to recommend anything at this point as if you are on immunosuppresent drugs, some herbs can interfere, though for the most part, I think you'd benefit. One thing I can suggest that won't interfere is Lavender. It will help with boosting your immune system and the general feeling down HOWEVER, it is known for making you sleepy. Has the general fatigue been looked at by your dr?

I would also suggest lots of garlic for the infections - its a very powerful natural antibiotic. BUT, do not use it if you are on blood thinners, like warfarin or aspirin as garlic is also anticoagulant and can make your blood even thinner.

You are NOT a horrible mother. You need to chase that thought out of your head. Guilt is a Poisoner and will make you feel worse. You have a condition that is zapping you horribly, and while autoimmune issues cannot be cured they CAN be greatly decreased symptom wise. Have you tried blood detoxing? Getting rid of the waste in the blood seems to be very effective.

Thank you kindly Cheesesandwich. It's a bit complicated.I have MS but haven't been able to start therapy due to several small problems.I will be starting soon.I also have an issue with severe iron deficiency anemia.Between those 2 I am surprised I am still standing.LOL.I need to make dietary changes.In my desperation I self medicate on caffeine (Pepsi soda) for energy and coffee.Every time I look up information i become somewhat more confused as some is contradictory.I just try to eat & feed my children well on my limited budget.My fiance did buy me some herbs but I have taken a short break from them because I noticed something.Oh, and funny you mentioned the garlic because I am currently trying it.Sorry if TMI.Thank you all :grouphug:

Arrrrgghhh I just spent an hour writing up some stuff for you but when I hit post it tried to make me sign back in and I lost it all.

I will rewrite this ina bit as I have stuff I have to do now. Stay away from the Pepsi lol! Yummy as it is, it exacerbates the exhaustion and depletes iron!

I will be back when I'm done and my frustration subsides haha
