And medicine finds nothing

[LBTC]

Hi, everyone!

Well, I've had very few rides in the last few weeks. I've dropped out of the two races I was going to do.

I've been tested for a barage of ailments, and all of my tests read normal. (edit: for those who missed the earlier thread...I keep getting sick this training season)

There's only the stool sample and a follow-up urine sample to go...(fun, right?)

When I saw the homeopathic practitioner, she kind of scared me. But she did see a digestive problem that would be a contributor. Told me to stop taking almost all of my supplements, drink ginger root tea (the real stuff, not the bagged stuff), take this stuff called USNEA and Royal Jelly....and to stop eating bran and use ground flax seeds instead. Day two of having all of that going on and....well...I'm not loving it but I'll definitely give it a try for a few weeks. I'm surprised that my energy level hasn't gone completely rock bottom, but it's not all that high, either.

Have any of you tried any of these supplements / remedies before? Any thoughts? How did they feel to you?

This week I expect to have one or two really stressful days - I may have to work quite late, so I don't expect to be able to ride...at least not a lot. Wednesday I plan to ride with the gang, and hope that I make it through that alright. heh. I'll keep you posted.

Keep well, everyone,

Namaste,
~T~
