Re: Body Scans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dixiebelle, I get alot of eyestrain, eye fatigue, lots of fatigue, ...I get stiffness in shoulder and neck area...alot of tension...It is like you have a feeling something is wrong, can't figue out what is wrong, so you worry...in turn this makes you tenser...making your muscles tense...endless, vicious circle. I don't get a hearvy duty problem, just little things, aches here, pains there, but all together and NOT knowing ...is making everything worse.

I feel excess weight, like edema, (Water weight) and high blood pressure, but from water weight, not heart problems. I am being told you have food allergies, and by correcting the intake of nourishment, you will improve.

I get a stiffness on the right side of my neck running clear down to right hip.

let me know how this fits you. Again, so sorry for taking so long, but I had to rejuvenate myself a bit. Inner Connections

Yes quite a lot of what you got is how I feel. I think the eye strain may be because I had the tint removed from my glasses and they haven't seemed right since. Time for a new eye exam and probably new glasses. Also a lot of general tiredness as if I don't really get a good night's sleep. I had wondered if I had sleep apnea. I am stiff but I just figured it may have been arthritus. Am very overweight and do have occasional high blood pressure. Terrible craving for sweets which compounds the weight problem. My back hurt a whole lot but the doctor I went to blamed it on my swedish foam matress which my hubby loves he has vascular disease so unless we don't share the same bedroom I guess I'll just get used to it. I have given up just about all red meat and will experiment with different foods to see if what I eat and how I combine them will improve how I feel. I am mostly just upset at lack of energy because I don't feel like I am getting things done like I used to. I don't work as my husband retired because of his health so I have plenty of time to get stuff done. Thanks again, I feel guilty complaining because there are so many that really have serious problems and overall I feel very blessed. I have enjoyed your pictures of your flowers bushes ect. You really have a beautiful and peaceful place. May God bless you and your family with all the good things you truly deserve.

Re: Body Scans -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- thank you, Dixiebelle. and thanks for enjoying the "gardens"

A dear friend gave me a book about "false Fat"...it may be a good read for you. it is about food allergies and how they can make us think we are gaining weight, and we are swelling from different allergies...sweets is one of the allergies that is triggered by another allergy,,visious cycle. I don't feel anything TERRIBLE, just lack of rest and allergies.

(And, we are getting "older"!!!! and that is something I have to keep reminding myself!)
