Update on present meds and supps

Here is my present medication and supplement regimen. A.M.: ValCyte NaturThyroid 1.25 grains CandiZyme Multivitamin Iron 120 mg Sabella (antidepressant SNRI) Vit D D-Ribose and Ambrotose Acidophilus (or yogurt) Downed with milk or smoothie P.M.: just before bed ValCyte SeriPhos (reduces cortisol level) - 4 caps Sabella progesterone cream .8 cc cyclobenzaprine 3-4 mg Ambien CR 6.5 mg If I wake before 4am I take another Ambien CR 6.5 mg to get 2-3 more hours of sleep. P.S. June 2022 I take none of these now, and the only supps I take are: calcium and collagen powder and salt. I also take dessicated beef organ capsules. Beef is the best all-around nutrient dense food on the planet. For sleep I am weaning off Flexeril and Lyrica, and taking magnesium powder and ER melatonin. <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-7412919396529588"      crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

To Hawaii and Back

WOW! I actually made it to Hawaii for a week and back. See more about my trip at my other blog . I actually did better in Hawaii than I have been doing in a long time! Why? It wouldn't have been the heat; the temps in G.P. have actually been higher this summer than it was in HI. (My feet still swelled alot from the heat and I had to keep ice and antifungals on my toes,). I think the main reasons were: 1. I had access to a pool at the hotel and I worked out in the water twice a day (as opposed to my usual 3x a week); 2. I had a good night's sleep every night, no jet lag (who knows why?) 3. my husband was available and very willing to do all the lifting and hauling baggage (bless him); 4. I used wheelchair assistance at all the airport connections. Other factors may include the higher oxygen levels and humidity, the stress-free schedule, and the minimal road travel involved. I do fine on planes; in fact I enjoy riding on them. But I think reasons 1 and 2 are highest on the list.
