The Return To Innocence

Also, I think I had a seizure before waking up this morning. When I spoke with my mother, she said I sounded like I'd had a seizure. I am starting to... remember things. My brain feels haunted and full of kaleidoscope wilderness. I vaguely recall seeing Alicia. I vaguely recall seeing Amara, the way they struggled to keep my neurology stable. Amara, pale like alabaster, kept changing her eye and hair colors so I knew she was emotional.
I need to go do... the... you know, the post-seizure, the postictal things, the management, the getting better procedures. It has been a long long mind day. I did not know why I have been so tired. Luna in particular has been following me around, meowling like a queen calling her kitten. She has been licking me whenever she gets close. In that same vein, Rose has been trilling for my attention when I come into the bedroom, staring at me with very wide eyes. She begs me to pet and hug her, and now I realize why. Even Jupiter has been yowing at me when he sees me.
Luna is curled up at my feet now. When I go to have a shower, I will leave the bathroom door open just enough for her to come in, in case she wants to watch me.
Cats know. Cats always know.

I've been feeling randomly ill all day with fibromyalgia flares and allergies. And, now that I remember, seizure aftereffects.

I already know all of this, but this is for the benefits of people on my friends list who might not know. While I love Benadryl and Claritin, I don't want to rely on them constantly, and I know people for whom they just don't work.

Most of this was drilled into me by Mom during my childhood. She still calls to ask if I'm taking Co-Q10 and Omega-3 (I am). Lately I am favoring the large doses of Vitamin C (4 grams or more) and probiotics, along with omega-3. CoQ10 is still expensive.

Triphala, Trikatu, and Neem, of course, are excellent. As is Xlear, which is the natural answer to OTC nasal sprays (Oh Em Gee, I love it so).
