You are in good company!!!
My new favorite is when my kids and husband look at me like I have 3 heads when I ask the same question in a 5 minute span.. or my 5 year old says... Mom, are you listening... write this down...
This may sound confusing but try and picture this... this is what my osteopath told me yesterday... There is a coating on your skull.. and attached to the coating are like parachute strings that connect to the brain... then there is the fluid... so when you get your bell rang and the brain moves the strings try and correct the movement but depending on how bad the movement was they can not always correct... so the strings stay in that set place... this causing havoc on various systems in your body... so yesterday he told me that my right and left hemisphere were not even and i had a torque to my brain... so he moved it back to place... YES, for the record, THIS DOES SOUND CRAZY TO ME TOO! however, I could feel which way he was manipulating the brain... and honestly... I am so tired of trying every drug under the sun I will try anything at this point!
As for your good day... GREAT... but... you should have 3-5, some will say 7, good days before increasing activity. So, just keep that in mind...
Hope the above does not sound too crazy... but if you are like me... you want to do anything to feel good again everyday...
