I'll be the first to admit that I have weird health problems. And I probably sound like I complain a lot about them, but the past few days have culminated into something wretched, so here I sit in a mixture of lavender Epsom salt and baking soda to detox.
You would think that being in the health field that I wouldn't buy into "natural" remedies, but I've been helped by a few. Just because something hasn't been researched to death, doesn't mean that it can't be helpful to some people. Maybe it isn't financially sound to research baking soda in a bath because that stuff costs $0.40 a box. So in desperation, I am willing to try something because I've mentioned these spells to my doctor before and they think I'm crazy or want to do an MRI, which is expensive.
I've been fighting a cold and a massive acne breakout for the past few days and using my Neti pot like a good girl, but yesterday, my skin revolted against me. It hurt to move, for my skin to touch my clothes, and every nerve ending from my neck to my knees was on fire, to the point of madness. It was better this morning, so I figured I would keep our long run date because I always feel better after a run when I have a cold. Not only did my skin pain come back with a vengeance, but last night's mistake in the form of a burrito also reared its ugly head.
So far, the only differences I notice is feeling a little sweaty and my skin pain calming down. The burrito is still gurgling, but hopefully that passes soon. I'll update later.
Update:
I feel very mellow and better overall. Maybe my nervous system was just amped up and I needed to chill, but my stomach, throat, and skin all feel better. I don't know exactly how it all works, but whatever, I feel better and I'm going with it.
