Path to progress

As I am nearing my finish w/ smoking cigarettes, too I have mapped out several ways to deal w/ my chronic pain w/out having to use my prescriptions each day. My goal is to just bite the bit & deal w/ the pain unless I'm going through a really terrible spell. This month, in fact, has been rather turbulent___ agonizing. The whole time I've been wishing I had access to at least some of the natural alternatives & supplements that I would like to use. Even though in the current I am unable to afford the essential oils that will treat my nerve pain & various other symptoms___ my research continues. Let's just say it's unfortunate that I'm allergic to peppermint oil, because it could help in a few different ways. Thankfully it's not the main oil that could potentially better assist my ailments. Lately all I've had is MSM, over the counter anti-inflammatories & pain relievers___ & of course the aforementioned prescriptions. To boot, my food supply was rather low & my nutrients were dropping. All this led to some very disconcerting weeks of heightened pain, bad moods & ending up having to mostly stay in bed due to lack of energy. Some days even the ability to be mobile on my own two feet w/out grabbing walls or using a walking prop___ no matter how hard I tried the good ol' mind over matter___ no good.
In good news though, today while finally getting out to grocery shop I came across a dietary supplement I've been interested in trying: SAM-e. It's a naturally occurring molecule in the body that decreases w/ age & betters brain function, joints, mood stability & best of all PAIN. I think it will go nicely w/ DL-Phenalinaline (when I'm able to get more). All these supplements & oils are expensive, but if well researched can do a lot of good for the body. Not to mention diet. I'm eager to get to the next doctor I've been referred to in order to have my symptoms traced to their roots & determine what the best method(s) will be to get me back into a more comfortable position physically. I intend to see a dietician to know exactly what I should & should not be eating. Hopefully w/in the next year I will be able to manage the absurd situation I've been dealing w/ for 8 years.

(Yeah___ sorry, this blog has veered from poetry & such to more general topics. Sometimes you just need to do something a bit different than you were w/ one outlet___ while creating another. I started a second blog under the name Thorscha Elleona Wrye & she's all poetry, prose & art. Happy reading.)
