Having said that, I would suggest you start some grapeseed extract. This antioxidant may slow or stop the symptoms. Add a extra amount of antioxidant foods to your diet. If you have a juicer try making some vitamin enriched drinks, carrot/apple is a great combination. Yogurt berry drinks for desert. Also, as you well know, don't let stress and anxiety get a hold on you. Space your meditation time to several times during the day to keep you centered and focused.
Visualization, soft music and laughter will contribute to your well being. I know you know all these things. You just have to make a conscience effort today toward your well being, during the appearance of this spread.
No resistance. "What we resist persists". Just nurture yourself. Lots of Hugs Di
