Well, I'm now taking Hemp Oil and Hemp Seed Extract. I'm having a lot of fatigue, and gut problems. Interested to see how this works out.

I get overloaded every time I'm in a grocery store. Too much stuff, too many (annoying) people, too many colours, too loud, I could go on. So, I have to make a list.

Even when I go shopping for clothes or gifts I have to make a list, there are just to many distracting conditions when I shop anywhere for me to be completely mindful of why I'm there. I feel like a 'fish out of water'.


I know the feeling! And wanting to touch everything, and feel all the objects! I end up imagining myself wearing the soft fabrics or eating the delicious food. Sometimes it gets too much for me. Sometimes I have to sit outside and wait for my Mother to finish. I cannot stand shops where they have free samples.
As for the list, lists are a must.

Try fennel, senna (but don't use senna if you have diarrhoea) and ginger for the gut problems, and take sage for the fatigue. Hope that you get better! :)

Thanks, SteelMaiden. I'm off my meds, as one of them may have damaged my liver. Curse you, vile pharmaceutical companies ! !! !

Good luck on that! As for meds, I've been taking high potency ones for about a year now, but luckily my dosage has been reduced twice. Otherwise I would be a brain-dead zombie.
