The Curse is Lifted!

I have my days back

I'm thrilled to share that I FINALLY found something that keeps me awake all day long without any side effects. It's THIS! Orgain Organic Nutritional Shake.

This is the first one I bought and tried.
I have no idea why it works for me. 

My guess is that my body just doesn't absorb nutrients correctly to get them to my mitochondria. So I would be totally depleted of energy by the afternoon. But when I consume a lot of them in liquid form my body can somehow use it more efficiently than by eating. 

I'm so grateful that I found this product and that it works. Now I'll be looking around to see if I can find other things that work just as well but for less. Each drink costs me between $1.90 and $2.50 depending on the flavor. I use it as a meal replacement, so it's not as bad as it sounds. But since I'm unemployed right now I want to try and save us as much as I can. I'm also curious if something like a vitamin water would work just as well or if it has to be with protein too.

At first it felt really strange to have a full day back. Like I flew to another country where their days are twice as long. Now after about two weeks of it I'm getting more adjusted. It's wonderful! I still have to be careful not to do too many things at once. 

If I spread my activity out with resting a lot in between I feel much better. If I push myself I'll end up with shaking muscles and sweaty. Then it will take about an hour for that to stop. Ugh.

I have a check in with my muscular neurologist this week where I'll let her know about it. I want to discuss my increasing pain and muscle spasms with her. 

I haven't used the CBD/THC pen at all since I discovered the drink worked even better with no side effects. One pen cartridge is the same price as 12 drinks, but it's much better for my lungs. I also never drive with the pen and I can drive a little in town normally. That's a big thing to have to give up to stay awake if I used the pen instead.

I can't tell you what a relief it is to have a big chunk of my life back. I'm so grateful that I stumbled on this product. Fingers crossed that it keeps working!


I have zero affiliation with any product I ever talk about on my blog and received no incentive to write about it.
