BTW about O2

I talked to this man today that knows allot about how the body works and about O2 levels etc. He told me that after a tough workout our body needs about two days to get down to normal levels again, wich means two days with increased O2 need. That confirmes the difficulties i have with my O2 use, why i need so much more and why it is more or less useless compared to what others experience. I use a 3 l tank in about 8 min and can go trough a 20 l tank with a high flow, OnDemand, wich is a system that allows you to breath in what your lungs capacity is, without any effect. Also it confirms what i said earlier, if i go one day without any workouts it will be ok but pressure will start to build up. The sec day i will start to get more trouble and the third day is i feel like shit. It tells us how important it is to do workout. I experiencing that workouts do more overall good than huffing and huffing O2. Of course, CrossFit does not suit everyone, but to be active and do some kind of exercise will benefit more than you would believe. It is hard to do that when your trapped in the ugly grip of CH, but everything that make life better or what i would say. Also a good mood lifter ;)

I`m trying to find out how to make the O2 use more efficient to cases like myself, where O2 does not work so very good. It is a puzzle and every Doc or specialist i ask do not have any answers to give me. Besides this guy though, wich i met in the gym!! Doctors really scear me, over the years it came clearer and clearer to me that they are only humans and do not hold so many answers we think they do and would like them to have. They do trial and error,  but with traditional medicines i do not want to touch anymore. But this is the options they got. I`m better off with trying and failing other options. But i would like them to be a bit more open at least to alternatives.

Well well, night night :)

New years eve dessert?

LOL!!

Happy New Year!!

Hi

Just came home from one heavy CrossFit workout. No one completed it in time, but it was SO FUN :) It was a partner Wod.

Thor (blue t shirt) and Indir, they just finished the workout right before we started. They live where i live :)



Sara and Thor`s daughter Ariel. CrossFit Centrum is a very nice place, so children feel home as well. That`s always a positive sign!!



Tatiana, i kind of forced her to come with me. LOL :) Just for the records, she enjoy it.




Iliyana









DONE!! Now we can relax, lean back and ejoy some good New Years Eve food. Looking forward to that. The guy in the middle standing beside the guys in blue t shirts is Bashir, he`s our instructor.

Very positive spirit they got these people, you can tell by looking at them can`t you :)

Happy new year folks!!


I would like to thank every fellow Clusterhead sufferer i know and the lovely lovely supporterers i got to know. What i`m so happy i accomplished this year was my travel to Chicago. It was a challenge to do that flight, but it was SO worth it. To meet others having the same condition is priceless. Everyone who hasn`t done it should do it. I never met such a large group of people being so positive and full of life, and what will to get the most out of their lifes as possible. I was and am impressed with you all!! Kudos to all.


 Happy new year CH`ers all over the world. We will never give up.

2012 will be great.



New years hug from me

Whoops, typo!!

Hi

I got a new phone and blogged from it yesterday. LOL!! Can see some typo`s yes... Wasn`t that easy to write on.

Jeebs, totally agree!! Way to go. Very happy to hear about your results lately as well :) Goodonya as Potter says.

Quiet days, just came home from a CrossFit workout. Think i`m hooked. Not the worst thing to be hooked on though.

Sara`s going to join tomorrow. Very fun :)

Woke up this morning with no symptoms but some puffiness and pressure. But that`s nothing as i see it. Normally i always feel a bit crap after sleep, as sleep no matter what for me as a chonic is my worst enemy. Even when i got no pain i get silent hits wich builds up pressure in my head. But once i get up on my feet and of course do not sleep over about 7 hr it will be ok after getting up in an upright position. I`m so used to it it doesn`t bother me. So i`m good :)

Cya tomorrow

In and out, high cycle

Hi

I been in high cycle and now it seems like i'm out. So odd, i had puffy dyes and been dizzy bub nothing go complain about and no pain. No the puffy eyes are gone and same with the other symptoms. I think the crossfit has helped cause it is hard enough work out. Every work out i fdlt how the pressure disappeared and also helped the swellings. Together with Astaxanthin it have worked wonders so i did nothing about it besixe these two things:)

Great or what?!

Good times:)

Lucky

Good evening :)

I am so lucky.

How often do you tell yourself that?

If you tell yourself that and nothing comes to your mind why your lucky it make you ask "why am i lucky?" And there`s always something :)

Today i went to the movies. Fist thing as i walked into the movie place was the smell of perfume. Going out especially in the evening on days like today or f ex saturdays can be a bit tricky, cause everyone dress up and they kind of bath or something in perfume. Of course to me, that never weares any perfume, they all stink!! But i know they don`t, it`s me with my over sensitive smelling sense and cause i never wear it myself i smell it far better than others. Going into where they show it i was surrounded by perfume, pretty intense. For a minute i consdidered to leave. And i have to admit, my thoughts was not that nice..... Thinking "how can this be legal? What about people being allergic and might get breathing problems? Have any of these people even been thinking about that?" Ok not that nice, BUT there`s a point, cause it could be the case for far mnore people than migraineurs and CH`ers, like a "simple" allergy. That aside, all of the sudden it struck me, "how lucky am i? I`m here in the middle of this perfume "stank" and i`m all good!! Cut that negative thinking, pretend the smell isn`t there and just enjoy the movie. So i did :)

That lucky am i!! I went to the movies without getting hit. Wonderful :)

Oh, and btw, "womens hysteria" as a diagnose was removed in 1952. Not that long ago. Med science have gone some steps further since then. Learned it from the moive Hysteria.  LOL!! :) It was fun :)

Good night all

Happy Xmas

Wishing everyone a happy happy xmas!!


This is my sisters girl Line and my sister Eli. My brother Håvard is in the background.


I`m stuffed. We`re al stuffed. Norwegian Christmas food is very heavy salty food. Actually i think i will go to bed. I feel exhausted. It is exhausting to eat this kind of food and be that inactive!! OMG, i feel like a wreck after one day!! LOL :)

Oh, about Korea

Guess i will need to see what happens in/around Korea. Travelling to South Korea might not be that safe. Time will show.

The day before Christmas



Hi

Sara`s with her father this Christmas, she went this morning. Yesterday we had mini Christmas. Had Christmas food, pinnekjøtt wich is salt lambs meat and ricecream for dessert. After the meal we opened some presents. Sara was thrilled :)

Christmas isn`t the same when she isn`t here, it just feels like a regular free weekend in a way. But i know she`s having a good time and then i`m happy.

Had a CrossFit workout today, very fun, as always!

I feel good. It is a huge huge difference from all past Dec months. Feeling very lucky to be able to even go out and breath the air outside, or go grocery shopping, everything i do this months basically, gives me the feeling of being lucky.

My best wishes to all. Lean back and relax :)

Happiness is when you've gotten really good at being you

2 years


Ok so don`t bother about the music and the funny remarks my friend made in this clip. What it says is everybody knows little asians can fight, and then the laughter. I know i can`t fight. It was a workout for very skilled fighters and i just joined them cause i know some of them. And we have a joke about the little yellow ones. LOL, just a thing.

What i wanted to show here is how much weight i gained. When this movie was made i had joined CB for about a year i think. Gradually i gained weight and strenght again (was very underweighted), here i had gained allot of weight. But  now two years after i joined CB i reached my normal weight and muscle strenght and energy level. In two years i gained 10 kg. That is allot for a person that`s just 155cm tall. I feel very strong and healthy now, normal. It takes time and effort to get back to normal after 6 years of constant CH. 6 years isn`t that long but it is long when it comes to chronic CH.


 This pic i`m showing cause i want to show what the Astaxanthin has done to my skin (just one fo many things). If ginger help people, being full of antiox etc etc. Why shouldn`t Asta work in some way or another? It is the most powerful supplement i ever used and it works in every areas, so i stopped all other supplements. Persons who doesn`t have a very low or extremely low bloodpressure like i do, should do normal doses of regluar, not high concentrated Omega 3. It will make Omega 3 allot more effective.

Really hope this can be interesting to some. My effort with the treatment and different supplements have been a two year long process where i been doing better and better even though i get high cycles, but it only learned me something new, everytime i found something new. F ex, now i know one of the first signs of an high cycle or upramping is me dropping things out of my hands. I just start loosing things, i think i`m holding it and just drops it, more and more as i come closer. What can i do then? I do a couple of  large doses of B2.

Thursday sun turns again. This should be a horrible horrible time. This year i don`t care what date i`m at or whatever!! Dec has been easy. Better than ever.

After 2 years i am where i should be. I`m back :)

Wishing the same for everyone else who suffers CH or suffers as a supporter.

PFW to all

Quiet day


Hi

Sara`s with her father this weekend. It`s been a quiet weekend. Made some gingerbread dough for tomorrow. She love doing that and decorate them afterwards. I look forward to get her home tomorrow. The house is kind of empty and quiet qhen she`s not around.

Been to Crossfit class fri, sat and today. Yesterday we did 150 abmat sit ups and 150 jumps, i came in at 10.40. Not very happy with that time, nr 1 came in 4.11!! My technique with the abmat sit ups aren`t very good so i need to practice them. Today`s WOD was 250 m row and 25 push ups, as many rounds as possible in 20 min. I did 7 rounds and 150m row. Sounds easy but  it is a tough workout. Today a guy showed me different techiques how to climb ropes. LOL, i have allot to learn!! That is difficult. You could just drag yourself up usinng your arms only, well i`m not there!! It`s so fun to have something to work towards, a real challenge this is.

No i will watch a movie and just relax, nice :)

Feeling a bit sleepy, a good sign in the evening. My hormones are right, ususaly if CH is not good i will not feel tired, especially not in the evenings.

Happy Christmas times folks!! PainFree wishes to all.

Wondering

I`m wondering about one thing, if he got CH. Cause if he had or have and was alone it would be very hard to have a child alone. Maybe that`s the reason he gave me away. I would like to know.

Korea

Hi

I have been thinking about visiting South Korea, this is where i`m born. In a town named Pusan  (Busan). I was adopted and came to Norway when i was about 2-3 years old. Today i decided i will visit Korea next year. I will not bring my daughter the first time, as i think my reactions will be confusing to her most likely. She will go to her father for two weeks in the summer and i will go those two weeks. On my birth cetificate i have my fathers name. The adoption agency may have information about your parents to give you when your 18, but you have to go there, you can`t get it per email. I`ve been in touch with them already. Think i will do that. Anyway, i will see the country and eat Korean food.

This is a decision that will change my life in some ways. But it is time.

Hope everyones feeling good :)

Good night from me

From nowhere

Hi

Got hit all of the sudden yesterday. Think it was from eating food that was saturated in vinegar and maybe a kg Christmas cookies and caramels... Ah well, it tasted good. But i got a bit disappointed cause i missed out on two Crossfit workouts i really wanted to join. It reminded me how lucky i am now, as this just happens once in awhile. And i have to laugh, i mean missing out on workouts. LOL, worse things has happened :D

Went trough 19 l O2, didn`t abort the attack so i decided it didn`t work enough so i decided to just rid it out. Sometimes it feels like this is the only thing to do, the pain feels a certain way, also when it feels like that i know that nothing will work very well. And if i keep trying different things i will only sort of drag it out in time.

In the middle of the day today i felt really really tired all of the sudden, and then it was gone. How wonderful :) And now it feels like it never happened. It `s so odd, the same thing every time. When it`S over it`s just a distant memory. I have to say, it can be very tough to know that the Imitrex might take the pain away, and when you have it in your house it... But the thought of starting a Imitrex rollercoaster isn`t tempting at all. Or the thought of how your heart kind of struggles afterwards. Gives me the creeps.  It has happened that i have taken the shot and placed it against my body and then put it away without using it. Cause i know it, it will not benefit me. One shot may make it worse the day after. Also it gives you a brain forg for days, even weeks. And every time i just rid things out i am so happy for it when it`s over. When a person with CH choose not to use something that could take the pain away during a hit, that really says how nasty that medicine is. Nasty shit, i absolutly fear it.

This used to be high cycle times, so this is great. Looking forward to a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed tomorrow:)

Tomorrow i love you tomorrow :)

Thoughts in a busy life

Hi

I want to share what different persons have told me, different times in my life but it`s stuck in my mind and i believe it has helped me and followed me and always will.

A woman who i met while she was treated for cancer. Earlier in life she had a back and neck injury and had been lying paralyzed for years, she had several operations, very painful cause she had nerve pains. She told me how lucky she felt while lying there, in her living room in a hospital bed. She was grateful. And when she got tired she just closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her. What she told me in the end was this "never forget that people can only understand out from what they have experienced. Recognition."

Another told me about her life, she had been doing what her husband wanted for years and years. One day she just walked out from the house and left. She told me to follow what my heart and innervoice. Self- realization. She is now a old woman, terminal ill. She tells me it`s natural and that this has been a door opener.

A woman i talk with very often pr email wrote to me once "never let anyone take away your opinions." Thank you :)

Recently a woman told me how her life have been after her son committed suicide more than years ago. Every single day she`s thinking about  that day. She told me this "everything that can be fixed is not a problem."

A woman that got hyper allergy against allot of different things. It gets life threatening. Awhile ago her gluteus maximus ruptured, operations failed, it will not heal. Three weeks ago she had an operation, her belly had grown and the reason was muptiple cysts, big as oranges. She had to remove allot inside her. She reacted to the staples they used to close the wound. Long story short, the wound all across her stomach it won`t grow, not just a little. She told me how happy and lucky she felt.

All this people, they all felt grateful for things others don`t even recognize. They shared this with me and made me think so that i discovered i could choose my own values. Also, they are not in a hurry if they don`t wish to. Very calm about time, i think it is cause they have inner peace. Christmas time is a busy time. I was out shopping a bit and people are really stressed out and get a bit aggessive almost. I chose to stay in today and cook a good meal and also i made a big portion caramels. I will make more boxes together with Sara and give them to people we know and appreciate.

I feel very lucky and grateful to meet all this interesting people, they light up the way.

Brand new week :)

Hi

I love mondays, a brand new week. One unused week. Feels like a sea of opportunities.

All Christmas gifts done and all. This year has been very relaxing in a way. Think it is cause i been so good and there`s this flow in everything and things don`t pile up. Guess it is the feeling of having it all under control, then there`s room for unexpected things as well.

Had Sara and a friend of her over after school, did homework and made some Christmas cakes and fudge. We made miniatyr cakes. They looked sweet :)

Now i`m watching American Chopper senior v junior. I feel sorry for junior.... I hope his business will be a huge succsess in the end.

Been to Crossfit, talked to nice people. We were supposed to walk on our hands today as one of the things in the workout... LOL, got a long way to do that!! I can`t stand on my hands long enough to start moving them!! Challenge :)

Another good day

Hope you folks had a good day:)

Just to make my day complete, add this one to the play list. I looove it!! It makes me feel free.

Good flow

Hi

Lately i have been so happy and content and for some reason i am so lucky all the time.  So many positive things have been happening and happens. Socially, health and overall. I been a bit short of money, not like i`m struggeling but you know. But i really didn`t stress about it, cause as long as i have so i manage i`m good. But as you all know, Christmas times is here. And what happened?! We won!!!! We won money :) Lucky us. This is just incredible, unbelivable!! Thank you universal power or what it is!!!! It`S so odd. My computer broke down completely, my phone got chrushed and stuff like that. Things that cost extra money and Christmas times is not a good time for expenses like that. But it is things that aren`t  neccesary. I bought a cheap little, girly computer today. Cause now i could.  That is important for me, to keep in touch and follow my other family members in other parts of the world. I`m so happy :) I can`t believe it!!

Sara got a friend sleeping over. We had taco, chips and sweets while watching Idol. Ray had a tattoo session, i have been to CrossFit class. Kids are happy, Ray is happy and i am happy. Rain and thunder for days and head is good. Life is good.

I love playing this song really loud when i`m driving. Everytime i do it life feels just so beautiful i wish i could sing. I was looking fo a song i cannot find it anywhere and i can`t upload it with this little thing. Well well, another time.

Thank you

Interesting

At page 44 in the link, this is interesting. Maybe be why this is working for me and works for CH symptoms? The central nervous system thing and microglial cells. Brain, spine "helper".

One thing

My breathingproblems are gone, i had like a asthma like breathing thing. Like i couldnT`inhale enough air no matter how deep my breath was. This is symptoms i get and get worse and worse closer to a bad CH period. Odd. but Astaxanthin took it away.

Cellofan and caramels

Hi

This is what i`ve done this morning




Boooring..... Considered to just wrap them in small cellofan bags instead, but the result would have been far from good considered to this. Worth it. The kids gonna make a box and put them inside, then they can have them some gifts. So now everything is ready for tomorrows workshop. The kids are excited :)

Just been to CrossFit class, had some food and a shower. Now it is Grey`s Anatomy and sleep.

Here`s a good read about Astaxanthin. It works wonder for me, for CH symptoms.

Workout for my friends Jeebs

With all the pizza and alcohol my friends had, the least thing i could do was to give them a little workout session :)

Christmas stuff

Hi

Today i have been out shopping for the Christmas workshop i`m going to have on wednesday with Sara and her friends. Now i made caramels. We will make small boxes with angels on it and fill them with homemade caramels. Yum.... Gonna be fun :)

Usually this time a year is so awful and now i can do whatever i want!! What a feeling, i feel so free. This little workshop gives me the feeling i can do anything. To make good memories about Christmas time for children is just good, it pretty much beats everything :D

We have snow and then it melts and then it is snowing again, but my head is fine!! Incredible.

Raymond can`t walk after i dragged him to CrossFit class yesterday. He`s tired of sore muscles. My answer to that is "Then you have to do it on a regular basis, blame yourself". LOL!! He says he is walking like he should have pelvis problems. Hahaha :) Well well....

My very close friend died this months years ago. All of my friends i have lost have died in Dec. So it is also a month i go around filled with memories. They were so full of life. Sounds odd, but maybe a bit too much of it, if that is possible. They didn`t have that much limits and fears like others got. I used to be the same way. They were all very good persons. May they rest in peace.

Didn`t see that one coming

Hi

This day has been GREAT!! I knew it :)

Today i have talked about CH to medstudents!!! Can you fecking believe it?! I was asked if i could come and let medstudent ask me questions about CH. What to look for so it will not be mistaken with migrainurs, how to treat it the right way with O2 etc etc. It was a bit sceary as well, cause i looked at their faces and how surprised they looked and how little they knew and how frightening they think it is when they do not know how to help a patient. They found it hard to believe how little we sleep in periods and that ambient actually don`t make us sleep always. It was interesting, i`m glad i was asked. Maybe it helps to be this stubborn i`ve been. I feel so lucky, my life has really had a positive turn. It feels so rich. It`s like we get a sec opportunity in life, that is not to take for granted!!

Lately i have been thinking i had to find a place to order Benadryl, i have to order it from a EU country i think it is. Anyways, all of the sudden i get this message today, the sweetest persons asked for my adress and they will ship me!! I really appreciate that. Thank you a million times :)

Like i already said, i am so lucky :)

Had a great workout today. Sara`s with her father for the weekend so i will do CrossFit tomorrow and sunday, if i`m able to it. Also, i`m back with Astaxanthin and that works great for me. It takes the shadows and make my PF time shadow free.

Hello Christmas

Hi

Went to the store to get rye bread and came home with this instead


Totally forgot about the rye bread LOL!! :) MMMmmm.... Yummy....Christmas cookies :)

My daughter is so excited about her calendar, she can hardly sleep and in the morning or even night she wake up and ask if she can open it. Same thing every year. It is such a joy to watch how happy and excited she is. The day before the 1 dec she told me she was going to sleep the other way around in her bed, so she wouldn`t be able to see who brought the calendar in her room. And she said "it could be Santa or it could be you. But i want to believe in Santa so i do not want to look, so i just sleep the other way in case i wake up". Sweet :)

Head is behaving and life couldn`t be better. I had a burning feeling yesterday and today, wich i often do after a bust on the opposite side, i had a Astaxin instead of Benadryl cause i was going to CrossFit class and it went away!! YAY!!!

This gonna be the best weekend ever, i just know it.

Tomorrow, a good day :)

Hi

Had a night with restless night but it didn`t matter cause i could ffel how the seeds did it`s job. It feels like my head get constricted in again, the way it`s supposed to be, i was very swollen from all the hits, my eye bags even disappear then, lol. Maybe a good thing? No, kidding, lol :)

Woke up puffy adn stuffed in my head but at the same time i had a clear head. So, all good!! Spend the day in doing housework, happy to do that, everytime i come in a highg cycle i feel everything is being chaotic around me. So it feels good to clean it all out, chase the beast out the door!!

Sara had friends over and they did homework and sang and made allot of noise. Feels very good to be able to handle allot of noise without getting the feeling that i want to scream and hide. After homework they sat around the kitchen table and ate Christmas cookies. Nice :)

Hope i will be able to do Crossfit tomorrow. If not, there will always come another workout. i\m just happy i can exercise at all.

Jeebs, thank you :)

Very happy day today :D

Beast woke up

Hi

At the moment i`m exhausted but not in pain. I had hits with a couple of min in between at the most. The O2 company delivers O2 once a week. I had two 20l bottles and 4 3l bottles. I spend 29 l yesterday and i was empty, it was in the middle of the day so that didn`t work out well since i planned to do seeds i the evening. Decided to go to ER and get some O2 from them. I called and they told me it was ok. It was not ok when i came there, and the poor doc who helped me got really frustrated. He ended up standing on his toes yelling in the phone. He couldn`t believe how it could be this hard to get me some bottles to bring home, as i couldn`t be in the ER all day and night hooked to the O2 bottles there, he actually said that to the people he talked to. Also he said "she had this for 8 years, don`t you think she knows this condition and what to do better than you and me? If she says no to Morphine and want O2 we will get it for her". I started laughing cause he got so pissed!! Looking at me he said "your laughing but i`m crying". I told him i think i cried my share when it comes to dealing with doctors. He actually managed to get me bottles to bring home. This is how he did it, he said "well, then i have to bring her in neuro, then you have to take responsebility, cause Cluster goes under Neuro, so deal with it. She`s coming now. I was like "ok..... I don`t want to be hospitalized at all, i just want O2".

Thinking that ok i do need O2 i will just have to go up there and try to make them give it to me. When i came to Neuro i had bottles waiting for me, lol!!! "Take them and go home" they said!! "ALRIGHT"!!

Thank you doc!!

SO!! Ready for seeds tonight. :) :)

I can`t believe how i push this all the time, why can`t i just do the seeds once a month and get over it? Well, it is the fact that i feel it is stopping my daily activities, it feels like "oh no, not again. I just have to do this and that first". That`s a great thing, it tells that i do so well and CH doesn`t stop me from living anymore. Cause before it was what i had to do all the time just to be able to do ANYTHING. So this is a beautiful reminder, i do not take all my daily activities for granted. I love just to go grocery shop. Cause i can!!

Thief?? LOL!!

Hi


We have a storm, Berit they call it. Yesterday night i got hit and i used the 3 l tanks cause i think they work better, pressure thing. Used 9 l.  Went to gym the morning after, felt a bit better but after a little while when i got home it started ramping up again. Had to use the big 20l tank cause the small ones was empty. Couldn`t find my regulator!! I had been to 2h crossfit, hadn`t had the chance to eat yet and i started to get pretty desperate!! after awhile i started to swear and curse and was convinced it had to be a thief. Why a thief would steal a regulator, no money or anything else? Don`t ask me, but i tell you, it was gone and i was convinced. LOL!! Talk about being irrationall!! Found it in the end, no thiefs, just a haunted house ;) Hit was on the opposite side from what`s usual, it does that sometimes. Woke up with a hit on the usual side two times this night and still have it. But it`s not to bad and i think it`s caused by the extreme low pressure we got at the moment. Time will show :)






Friday i had workout where i carried 32kg kettle bells, sand bags etc etc. I`m pretty sore today, but it`s a good feeling :)

Had a nice breakfast with my family and it is fist sunday of Advent.

Enjoy the day :)

Where i do Crossfit



Had a good work out, almost threw up. LOL :)

I found out that Astaxanthin make fish oil and D3 to be allot more effective. Would be perfect for a person having high BP. Me having very low BP it was not good. Not gonna do that again. I have problem with fish oil in general. Usually i do it only every sec day or two das then pause, if not i start to get dizzy and all that. Since i worked out so much my thought was that i needed more oils, wich btw i do but i have to have other sources like Avocado etc, so i started to do fish oild and D3 every day for one week. Started to feel really bad day 3. Well well, learned something!!

I`m exhausted after the workout. Now Sara and me gonna watch Idol and have some popcorn :)

Wishing everyone a lovely weekend all!!!

Low BP

It is my low BP  that made me sick. I have a problem with that. It is low naturally and when you exercise it get lowered in your daily life, healthy eating lower it etc etc. Fish oil lowers it, that`s the reason i do it in periods. D3 lowers it, same with com enzym q10 and Asthaxanthin.

I used D3, fish oil togehter with Asthaxanthin for some days and i have felt crap crap crap!! Now i know why. I will go off it all and start again with just Asthaxanthin. Always good to find out the reason :)

Is is to early for dinner? Never to early for dinner.... Homemade tomato sauce and whole grain pasta. YUMYUM :)

Sara

Good morning :)

Sara was officially a girls scout yesterday. They had a ceremony yesterday. She got a scout scarf and was so proud.

Sara (left) and her friened Sara(right). She is half Korean and half  Norwegian as well. Two cute girls. They made this wood stick doll yesterday. :)




My h ead didn`t get worse yesterday. I chose not to do the seeds cause i felt it wasn`t the thing i needed. Went to bed taking a couple of Melatonin to try and raise Serotonin levels. Woke up next day feeling fine and much happier  as well :)

Feeling fine today as well, just got a very stiff neck. Shouldn`t have cancelled my massage but i`m trying to save some money, guess it`s not the right thing to cut. I have quit smoking completely cause i can`t really smoke and do Crossfit, it is to stupid and i was embarrassed doing it. A month now. No problem, odd really how easy it is. But i didn`t smoke much, maybe that`s the reason.  Luckily!!!

Gotta start the day!! Later

This is today

Hi

I ate almost one hole bread yesterday, started to swell up badly right after and woke up feeling really bad this morning. Went to spinning class hoping it might help. Think it helped a bit, cause the heavy shadow didn`t get worse. Got home and had some food and a shower and went shopping for some gifts to Sara`s calendar. When i got home i felt really really bad, all of the sudden it came to my mind i hadn`t had any food in hours. Made some Salmon and veggies. Got so nausea i almost vomit but i managed to eat some and got better. Got some seeds in water but now a couple of hours later i feel fine!! Will see what i do later before i go to bed, cause now i feel really tired and usually that is a very good sign :)

Today is today, tomorrow is a brand new day :)

Look at this!!

This is what the wrong stuff does to me!! I had some cheese doodles and a couple of min later

This is my tummy even if i had Brenadryl (antihistamines) before i ate it. Really says it all, what`s in this crappy "food".

Crossfit Centrum

Hi

Todays CF workout was not that tough. It was scaled front squats 1 time 7 times. I used only 55kg.
Then 10 front squats togther with 25 sit ups using an AB pillow.As many rounds as you could do in 12 min. That was it. I did only 4 round, that is not good!! Number one did 8 rounds, so only half. They said it was good, the other ones attending was only men that has been doing this for a long time, but still. But it was fun and i really need to have a challenge and this is so now i have something to work towards :) It gives a motivation in general, f ex i do not wish to have a cigaretter now, cause then i know it will affect my physical form.

I will relax and have a nice meal now:)

Astaxanthin is still working well for me, so i`m doing pretty good!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful evening

Survival food

Look at this, OMG!!! You can fecking survive out in the wild by just eating nuts!! 3707 kcl in 165g of nuts!! Insane lol :)

Coleslaw, beef and rest day

Hi

Jeeb`s your right about Sara. She got this humoristic outlook on everything :) It`s a good thing:) This drawing is about 1 year old. I have it on my fridge, i use it as a reminder for myself, do not overdo it all kind of thing. LOL :)

Today i made coleslaw and pressure cooked beef. Will eat and rest for tomorrows workout. We will go to this CrossFit center that`s more like a pro thing. There they will take the time etc etc and there`s pull up bars and stuff. Thinking this will be a tough workout. looking forward to it. SO the reminder thing on my fridge made me not go to spinning class today... Hehehe....

Made everything ready for the weekend, just in case the work out crushes me totally. If i don`t i think i have to treat myself with a chocloate. Maybe, just maybe...

Taking an early evening.

Tomorrow!!

Massage guy

Hi

My massage guy works for the local pro football team, Viking, so he know what he`s doing. He was so impressed how Asaxanthin have worked. He could clearly tell a significant difference on my tissue and muscles. My tissue or what word to use, has like a inflammation condition, my body holds water and seems "inflammed", swollen and numb. I been back and forth with antihistamines and diuretic to try and get it down, hasn`t worked out very well. But since i started with Asaxanthin i have been better and better and now i will say it is where "normal" is. So he was IMPRESSED!! He wanted all info so i had to write down the name. I get so happy everytime someone show interest when something new works.

I have so much energy and feel so normal. I don`t remember how i felt before i got CH, but it must have been like this if it isn`t even better. Today i washed down my hole house, went for a walk and prepared dinner, got Sara to girls Scout etc etc. Yesterday i had a Body Pump class. The weeks i been doing Asaxanthin everything has been in a good flow. I had 4 and 5 workouts and 1 CrossFit a week. Well i`m impressed as well!! My asthma problem thing seem to be gone and it`s just good!! This is amazing!!! Interesting!!

Wishing all the best to everyone :)

Beast is behaving good

Hi

My head is good. I believe it is the Astaxanthin that does it. I had no need for any diuretic or Benadryl to reduce any swellings in three weeks. That is great!! I do Benadryl if i wwant to eat something i know is a huge trigger, but that`s it. My skin has improved allot, increased energy and an overall very good feeling. Also it improves performance to the work out, significant from week to week. And even to the cardio, i can actually tell a big difference when i walked  floors up yesterday. It was like just walking on  straight ground. I am very happy with this, togther with seeds this will work out incredibly good i believe. Time will show. It is a hormone altering supplement, like Schisandra, Russian Root and Q10.  A good new tool for my toolbox.

Ray has been a "healthy people guinea pig". He feel increased energy, effect to his workout, skin looks better and overall feel good feeling. Astaxanthin seem to make your body to get it`s fuel from stored fat, like it does if you go on a low carb keto diet, according to the researches done. This seem to be right, cause Ray lost some weight and his muscles show`s, like he`s been on some kind of diet. But he has not. And same with me, but i do not have that much stored, so i`m very hungry all the time. Have to eat allot. It works on every form of inflammation it is written everywhere you read about it. Take a look, pretty interesting. BTW, i stopped using my glasses when i write and read.

Weeell Jeebs...

It`s actually worse than yoou think, this cake we started eating from the same day we made it, so actually the day before his birthday.... But he joined in and ate as well, so then it is ok? Think so ;)

Not really sure what is working, but something is working very well. This should be such a horrible time a yar but it isn`t!! I`m doing so GOOD!! Since i started with Asaxanthin my shadows became shorter and lighter and now i have only one very light shadow during a day. It is working the same way as the antihistamin Cetrizin, as i actually don`t tolerate is so well and get hives from Benadryl i thought A could be an alternative. This far it seems to be working pretty well, i have been able to get my swellings down and i have no use for diuretic or antihistamines to try get it down. Usually it didn`t work very well either so... And i am PF so something works. Time will show :)

Tomrrow i will go meet the others for a good workout. Tabata is on the program tomorrow, they said they will bring a bucket.... In other words it is going to be one HE.. of a workout and they expect someone to vomit..... Not going to be me!! I hope. Perhaps Håvard, he`s coming for the first time and i`m not really sure if he understand how hard this workout is, cause he said "oh just wait, tomorrow you will find out what i`m made of". Guess we will tomorrow, lol :)

Pic`s and video`s coming ;)

Now one regular workout, beef and relaxing is on the program. Then i am ready to go tomorrow!!!

Kitchen day

Hi


Today has been a busy day in the kitchen. Ray has birthday tomorrow, so i made a cake.


This cake is brutal, it is to good. It`s sort of a mix of being a brownie and sponge cake and the icing is caramel chocolate mix thing, three layers. YUM!!! Hope it will be ok to taste if i do Benadryl all day and not over eating.

Made Lasagne for dinner tomorrow, it taste best the day after.

Have no clue what is wrong with me, had three burgers(made of pure meat) today for lunch as i have cravings for meat, but i still want more!!

Sara came home from school with these


She thought they looked like hearts so she brought it home and gave them to me. How sweet and how wonderful she has eyes for details. :)

Had a lovely day, i like to cook and bake.

Tomorrow, Cya

Snacksssss

Hi

I`m so hungry, constantly!! I think it`s the CrossFit that does it. Had oatmeal porridge for breakfast, beef for lunch and fish for dinner. Sunday i had spinning class then Body Pump today, have to do proper eating. Getting cravings for fast carbs so it shows i do not eat enough. Caved in for sweets..... I love sweets, in fact if i could i would eat sweets every single day. BUT i can`t. So today i had two Benadryl and gave in for the craving.





Look how pathetic i am, the sprinkle you see here in the front is chocolate coating. i tried to make it "better" by taking off the chocale coating from the toffee.... And liqorice i do not tolerate at all!! This is soft, salty liqorice with a salty and hot centre. But liqorice being like the number one worst sweet trigger i just had two....

"Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself"  kind of thing. LOL :)

Trying to make my conscience better with vegetables to go with it. Hahaha...


Still hungry. Should eat some more proper food. And sweets. Maybe.... Both. Hihi ;)

I hope your all good!!

Good night and sweets dreams
