Anyone

This weird feeling we all seem to be feeling, is it/could it be related to something medically? Are there medical reasons for this, this foggy/unreal, etc, feeling, like I posted and other have too. I am just wondering what medical issues I can rule out.

[Jennifer375]

It could be a pollutant we are being exposed to regularly,,, a few suspects would be

plastics, these are petrolum based chemically created products. MOST microwave foods are packaged in them nowdays (including those veggies in a bag thing now) and when heated plastics are proven to leech out into food. Check out the articles online about cancer causing chemicals leeching out into baby bottles when heated.... cure avoid using plastics even in the microwave, use glass instead which also doesnt fill landfills.

pesticides, herbicides, fungicides used on foods,,, not to mention..
most of these foods are harvested PRE-ripening (all the good stuff isnt even present yet so you get a tomato thats about as nutriouse as gum) and harvested with MORE petrolum driven machines which expose the skin of the fruits/vegtables to them as well. then they are shipped 2000 miles to our grocery stores on big trucks that also use petrolum/diesel driven vehicles... cure BUY local organics every opportunity,..

look at how much electromagnetic and radio waves we are now all swimming  in, the sun puts these out but so does your TV, electrical cords, your computer, anytihng electrical... we have no long term studies to prove or disprove the safety of this... cure, you tell me,, I LOVE my technology, heat and light so that one Im not sure we can do much about lol.

aspatarum has been known (quietly) to cause allergic reactions in people sometimes severe... Iv also read that it may be linked to some kinds of muscle/tendon/joint issues that are emerging now and that some people seem to think its somewhat addicting although that one I have no idea. I do know that folks in my family who drink diet drinks regularly swear they cant wake up without a diet coke/mt dew ect... but I felt that way when I drank alot of caffine too so it may just be that, caffine.

Oh, again to organics... consider the stress of factory farming animals and how thats probably getting passed on through your meat consumption. Iv found I get more stressy acting after eating chicken for a few days in a row and I can hardly stomach any kind of pork anymore due to the way it tastes, ick. The FDA passed a couple of new rules people should be aware of in the last couple of years that frankly bother me... 1 is that producers will not need to tell people if the milk, cheese or meats they are buying are from cloned meat (thats still a few years away I think) and more recently that irradiated meat does not need to be marked as such on the packaging. Irradiating meat changes the structure of the meat and theres NO studies long term yet to prove or disprove the safety of this practice.

I do wonder what effects these newer technologies and practices are having on our every day lives, because instead of focusing only on the symptoms, we should question why so many of us are having these symptoms I think. Life is stressful nowdays with so much going on,,, but our focus always seems to be on the negative instead of how the worlds improving... mabey its just a focus problem??

Something that gave me 'faith' that things are getitng better in the world... back in the days of kings and queens it wasnt the least bit uncommon for the royal court to call up their entertainment which often consisted of burning a small animal like a cat or dog, and sometimes even a 'criminal' over a hot fire, lunging it up and down to prolong the torture.

Nevermind that debtors prison where your relatives were expected to drop food in a hole in the ground where you and 40 other people were standing in your own bodily wastes is no longer the law..... If you did this nowdays people would be OUTRAGED...back then it was considered good clean fun or just punishment.

Our sense of right and wrong has changed by leaps and bounds since the dark ages,, but it seems like all we hear about is the bad stuff. So if all we hear about is this murderer killing that person, or this parent killing their kids for fear they will go to hell.. and we dont hear very often about how for example St. Judes cancer hospital for kids provides food, clothing and shelter to the parents of sick kids who cant afford treatment and they never turn anyone away... or how a lady in georgia is helping families still reeling from hurricane katrina to rebuild and start their lives over... mabey these things are causing the imbalances...

Its hard to guess, but Im very interested to hear what others think could be a physical outside cause... this is all Iv come up with so far and none of it is 'provable' of course at this time... no more so than LEAD poisoning was during the roman era! :-)

Much respect and apprication, Jennifer

Hi Jess, all I can say is we all WISH there was a medical reason, but it seems 9times out of 10 it's all just anxiety.   I haven't read your journal, but have you had a thyroid
test?  If not, I have seen this suggestion around for a while now and it makes sense.  

I have this foggy/unreal feeling all the time and makes it hard for me to even post on here because I'm constantly second guessing my posts.........I read and reread to make sure they make sense, lol

You're not alone, not by far.............

Sorry i just read your journal post and see you have had the tests.....


.....I would suggest a nice massage. They do wonders for us with anxiety, plus I don't know a mom out there that couldn't benefit from one :)

Have you gone to the doctor?? Because if you haven't you need to. That way they can rule out any medical reason other than anxiety you may have.

There are many medical reasons you may be feeling the way you are, it is most likely anxiety, especially after the 24 hours you've had, but why not have the doc check just to make sure.

Plus having a clean bill of health from the doc will help ease the wonder, the worry, and then you can focus more on other things.....thus alleviating some of your anxiety. Follow me?

:) Keep us posted hun
