Dear Pat,
Please recover soon! I cannot even begin to imagine what you're going thro.

is that the first temptation to becom alcoholic;) .....wohahawoaaa ....I do have my little bootle of rescue rem. also every time with me and found out...not only useful for me .....

Hugs for everyone, especially Italy, Victoria, KK and Isa. Girls, I've gone thru stuff like that, and it is really rough road. Sympathetic to the bone. I have Rescue Remedy here, somewhere, at least I did.
For what it's worth, when emotionally out of control, I take the quick-and-dirty route of modern chemistry to get my feet back under me asap, then work on healing the bigger picture. When I'm quietly freaking out, I can't focus, so I go for the tranks, but only an infitesmally (sp?) small amount, just to take the edge off, bottles okay to be refilled monthly can actually go years between refills. That's what I mean by tiny amounts. And only occasionally. I'd've been dead already several times over if it weren't for modern medicine.
Anyway, Italy and Victoria, hope you guys are both feeling better, wish I had more than hugs to offer, but, take my word, they're good hugs

Quoted from Victoria

When you mix up your treatment bottle in a 2 oz. dropper bottle, each dose can be one dropper-full squeezed into your mouth or into a glass of water.  At that rate, a bottle will last you a long time, weeks probably, because you will most likely only need to take it for a couple of days.  If this lingers longer than a couple of days, you may need to adjust your supplements.
What dose Preg. or DHEA are you taking?  (How many mg. per dose?)

I must've mixed the RR wrong!!     Will have to take another look at your instructions when I have more time.  
The DHEA is 16-20 mg             two times a day.
Thanks to the rest of you for the good wishes and thoughts!!!
No Isa, haven't turned to alcohol yet, tho I must confess, if there had been a Starbucks nearby, I'd have had a White Choc Mocha.  I don't know why, but that always calms me right down when I'm    .
So...........OSuzanna........the quick-and-dirty route of modern chemistry to get your feet back under you asap..............are you referring to alcohol?  Guess that'd be a real quick fix if you only used it once in a while (which is what you said you do .  
Oh dear   , I really did myself up good!!  I drank half of the mix yest as soon as I made it and the other half before I went to bed. I do feel better today but still somewhat anxious. I do have both bottles w/ me, so at least I feel better about that.

Dear Italy,

I think OSuzanna was referring to a tranquilizer (e.g. Valium) script. I think.

"When I'm quietly freaking out, I can't focus, so I go for the tranks, but only an infitesmally (sp?) small amount, just to take the edge off . . ."

Wow, the whole treatment bottle? Well, at least we know now that it won't hurt you if you take more than the recommended amount!

Sending you sunshine and best wishes from another one going through it. I still think `they' put something in the air.   (it's a joke, I'm not that gone . . . yet.)

Well, that makes sense. Geeezzzzzzzzzzz..........see............my mind is just not with it right now. But I know it'll get better. Just need to head off to Starbucks. .

Yes, it WILL, Italy. Ride it, ride it, ride it . . . (wish I had a little surfer on a wave image to insert here.)  

Don't worry if you drank the whole mix right away... I think the instructions on the RR bottle are a couple of drops into a small amount of water and sip every 15 minutes until your symptoms begin to subside. I gave it once to a child, told him to take just a sip and he slugged the whole thing down in one gulp and trotted off to bed. He was fine.

Perhaps you needed a biiiig first dose, that's all......  

Quoted from Victoria

I started with DHEA first, only because that's what my gyncologist prescribed for me when he saw how low my DHEA was on my bloodwork.  The level had dropped a lot from last year and it was already low last year.  So that's where I started.  Like I said in another thread, he recommended 20 mg/day.  But I started with 5 mg, and it gave me a headache and acne.  So I divided those caps into 4 days worth.  I was taking a pretty low dose, and feeling more energy, but still had the acne, and was pretty irritable.  So I decided to try the Pregnenolone since it would have a different effect in the cascade.  But it was so smooth going, I forgot to take a break, and I think that's what has caused me to fall apart the last week.

funny because I have had a headache for days! and have had acne popping up too. I actually had talked to the NP about this re: something but can't for the life of me remember if it was re: the DHEA.  Will ask him today.
Also, weird about your having the DHEA first because of low test results. My DHEA was in the failure stage. Can't remember if that tested for Pregnenelone. I have alot of ?????????? to ask him tonight.   , ohhhhhhhhh, I bet he wishes I'd stop reading and talking to other people
Victoria, did your headaches present more as tension or sinus?

It was like a tension headache.  And Pat, I was only taking 5 mg or less once a day.  If I took as much DHEA as you are taking, I would probably have to put myself in isolation so that I didn't destroy every relationship I have!  Seriously, my emotional state can't handle more than 2 1/2 mg./day of it.

I'm glad the RR is helping some.  Once again, with love:
Into a clean 2 oz dropper bottle, put 3 to 5 drops of RR from your Stock Bottle.
Fill up with pure water.

That's your Treatment Bottle.  To use the remedy, squeeze a dropperful from the Treatment Bottle into your mouth or into a glass/bottle of water as many times a day as needed, at least 3 x day.

It won't hurt you to take drops directly from the Stock Bottle, but it's just a waste of your money.  It is homeopathic, so the tiniest bit is just as effective as drinking the whole bottle.

ooo..oooo for the starbucks ....question of mine: italy what is the true essence what makes you unsure or feary? What's beyond all that?...if you could realize the fact how you are creating this fear, perhaps this can be the key to it Peter wrote that the O's have almost a problem with dopamin; but
here it might be also ok to go for Rhodiola?.....or  Sam-e What is the exact situation which elevates for you this feary sensation?.....


@ Kristin...he-he-hee gulping the alc stuff beverages...huh...ja-jaaa we know that

ItalyBound, how ya doin?

I've used Rescue Remedy straight out of the bottle.  I guess that makes me one of those hard core girls lol!

I asked NP about the dosage. He said when you take it sublingually, it acts differently. I don't really know how to describe it. He told me exactly what happens with each (capsule versus sublingual) and silly me, I thought I'd remember. .  I do remember he said when it's taken in capsule form, it tends to be converted into something other than what is intended. That is not a good explanation, tho, sorry. I'm going to continue on my dose for now.
As I've been thinking over the past days, I realize I have not been drinking all my water. When I had headache issues before, they went away when I started drinking at least 64 oz of water a day, so I'm being very conscious of my water intake. WIll see what happens over the next day or so.
Isa, what was going on Sunday had nothing to do w/ any fears.
Drea, thanks for askin', doing better. Still some ehhhhhhh goin' on, but that has been around for a while and suspect as I am going thru healing it will be my companion, whether I like it or not.
KK, our hard core girl   , my NP did say I could take the RR straight. I'll prob try it diluted next time as well, just to see how it does. Good to know I can take it straight tho, just in case.

I can relate to what your NP said about sublingual, Italy.  That's along the lines of why I use the progesterone in vit E oil, rubbed on my gums, instead of taking it in pill form.  When something is used in sublingual form, it goes right into the blood and bypasses the liver.  Maybe this is what he is talking about.  Good to know DHEA can be bought in that form.  Was it prescription only??

((((((((((IB)))))))))))

so what...Italy ......tell me mooorrre about that...it begins to become interesting .....  I smell some
.......^>`'? huh...really......

@ the very early beginning there's a thought......then got a feeling.....then realizes uprising symptomes.....because of the becoming aware of.... et voilà ......things become true


the body you have...but the soul you are !
