I needed to disable self sign-ups because I’ve been getting too many spam-type accounts. Thanks.

The idea that we can become less autistic on this diet rolled around in my head all day yesterday. And when I had feelings of friendliness and comeradery yesterday, I let them blossom. Thanks for that!
The rudderless wreck thing is something I want to emerge from as well. There can be inertia to overcome. Sometimes the first step is just realizing you have been sick! For me, at least, it's been a struggle just convincing people there was something wrong, besides my face many of my maladies were invisible. Now, lol, it's a struggle trying to think of myself as NOT under the weather, and get some new goals lined up. There can be inertia! Is it time for life to become bigger? Where to start?
I read a few quotes about this subject today.

Nothing spectacular this month. The detox was very noticeable but not excruciatingly painful. I did not get so much brainfog as usual.
A few things:
My husband sees more improvement in colours. He just had to alter a building plan he made 6 months ago. Some parts were coloured yellow. Today he noticed there were several kinds of yellow in this old plan.
His jaws are getting wider. It is not only a result of less inflammation in the gums. His teeth were alway extremely tight, now they sit at ease. I believe this is a sign of vitamin K being more available. When we were taking MK4 in big doses, my face got wider.
As for me, more orange spots appearing in the skin under the eyebrows. Loosing har. Less stabbing pains in random places, but fleeting sharp "wasp stings" on the skin maily the legs.
For both of us, better mood, more "luck" and victories in our fights. Also, as I wrote in Arena's progree report:
Something strange has happened though, which I think is related to the eyes and vision in general. The mind is clearer. A lot of problems which had arisen because things were not going the way I wanted them to go, have found a surprising solution. "Luck" has come back, an adequacy between our wishes and reality.
In yogic terms this mean that the center of command in the brain, that gives orders to our reality, through circumstances and other people, is working well. This is supposed to be related to vision beacuse it is from the "third eye". And this third eye is a residual third eye and related to our two normal eyes.
So maybe our eyes are being healed and we don't know it yet?
In general, feeling hopeful. We booked two days holiday to see family at the end of this week. I could not have faced going by train etc before. There would have been hell to pay after that. Maybe there will, but somehow I think not. So hopeful in fact that I booked a week at the seaside for May, the first time in 5 years. I hope it goes well.
Hugs
I wonder what can be done in advance and during the trip to support the body through whatever little stresses come along?
I think I shall eat beef+rice just before the train journey. I am very sick after travelling on trains and being in airports. Cannot go to museums either. I go nearly blind for a day. I think this is due to whatever they put in the airconditioning in those places. Most probably chemicals that tax the liver and induce a RA discharge. If my stomach is full it may help?
Any ideas?
Ourania, I bumped a thread on stress to try to get some ideas going. I will think on the subject today and see what comes to me!

One idea already arose: Do you have prescription sunglasses at the ready? I feel they help me with travel.
I've even worn them when traveling as a passenger at night because of flashing lights. Or at entertainments that were flashy.
I also keep a visor handy and of course, reading glasses.
Hubs and I are getting more forgetful, and it helps to be very organized and put things in the same spot every time. So you might want to have your system down pat of where your important things are. These stretchy visors can be attached to things just by undoing one end.
Very good ideas. Also I think the chemical gets in through the eyes. I wear gloves too.
Hi Ourania,
I'm glad you had a good trip and that you are encouraged to travel.
I'm writing here because of what you said about fish oil smell releasing. I thought I was the only one that was having strange smells emanate from who knows where. I almost thought I might be having a nasal delusion.
How odd! However, I have heard that people who raise animals for meat do think that some things will affect the flavor.
I think others have said here that they feel that on some days they are more conscious of body odor, that I also get... but this is different. It is a waft that invades your space for about 5 minutes and then is gone.

All in all this has been a good month, even though we caught some kind of flu that precipitated detox and was quite unpleasant.
I feel we have turned a corner. Maybe this is due to the arrival of spring. Maybe the seasons are very important in this vA adventure. Anyway, we feel better, have more good days than before, suffer less depression (both of us), No anger for me, but my husband still flows into a rage from time to time. In fact I felt well enough, brainfog -wise to enroll in a couple of MOOCs!
We both have more and more skin improvements, small crusts are getting smaller, I am growing more hair (he is not). My eyes are flatter than before so I suppose less irritated at the back. My eyesight unfortunately has not recovered from the flu epsode (yet?).
But my husband sees more and more colours! He had to change his spectacles, because he has again less myopia! Also he can now do fine soldering anyday, his sight can now again do precise small work (no more presbyopia it seems).
Also we have more dreams, nearly everyday now.
Less dry mouth upon waking. Also it seems that the difficulty to move when I wake up is now slowly releasing its grip. Gone 10 % from the start I think. This is very important for me, as it happens also if I sit for a while.
I hope all this will improve and that I shall give you better news next month!
It is good to hear things are improving as it gives us new in the detox journey hope.
