I have now been on my treatment for 6 weeks and am just entering week 7. So far it has been an interesting challenge and that is truly putting it mildly. I can honestly say that prior to Xmas and New Years I was really struggling to find any drive or desire to do anything. I spent much of that time in bed and just thinking about what was going on in my life. But even after all the beating up of myself that I did I managed to find some appreciation for my life as it is and regain that drive to continue in all the persuits that I’ve been doing.
This made me ask myself was it the medication or was it was an emotional state I was putting myself in and the answer is that it was a bit of both. The medication itself is definitely changing me and having an emotional effect on me and I knew that I needed a good boost to get me back on track. One thought that came into my head was the New year boost that I mentioned in my post on Tuesday about using it as a catapult to slingshot myself back into a powerful emotional state and so far, I say with great relief, it has worked well for me. I feel like the person I was before all of this began, still facing the challenges, but facing the challenges with a healthy anticipation of what the future holds and feeling more in control rather the medication controlling me.
On a slightly different note but still related, one thing I’m finding right now is that my energy levels are not as high as they could be and so I’m currently looking into getting a good alkalizing green drink supplement that will give my body that energy boost it needs to keep my level of drive as high as it can be during this challenging time. I’ve never tried them before but after doing a little bit of reading about about alkalinity in the body it sort of resonated with me and so I want to give it a go. 
If any of you have any experience of this, I would love to hear them!
Remember: Be all you can be!

Okay I have to ask! What is a green drink?

Hey Desiree,
Well what I meant by “Green Drinks” was drinks you can obtain from health food shops or online which are high in alkalinity to neutralise all the acids that we pump into our bodies these days.
This is the ingredients list of the one I’m thinking of buying -
Ingredients: 100% Organic Barley Grass, Organic Lemon Grass, Organic Shave Grass, Organic Wheat Grass, Organic Dog Grass, Organic Spinach, Organic Peppermint Leaf, Organic Spearmint Leaf, Organic Lemon Powder, Montmorillonite Clay, Organic Aloe, Organic Dandelion, Organic Parsley, Organic Wintergreens
Sounds tasty!
