Hi everyone,
I've worked a lot on my health anxiety from Cannabis / PAWS / Anxiety / whatever this is. These days my syndrome has calmed a lot. I hope another year brings me to the finish line. I feel much more calm. So many things have cleared up for me. Year 1 felt like i was dieng everyday, year 2 became more about discomfort and learning to lean into and relax into my fear of my weird symptoms. Now i'm in year 3. I honestly feel I'm acting like a normal person that brings anxiety along. There isn't a day I wake up where I feel incapable, only uncomfortable. My main symptom is a weird fuzzy head, and some mild dp/dr stuff. I got occasional zaps in my body here and there. I'm not in pain / constant fear like i used to be (except when a zap happens, but it's always brief). I go to work everyday, I exercise, take care of myself etc. Everyone needs to know, this does get better and easier! Maybe year 3 will be my year of recovery. Either way I'm going to keep going and keep on accepting my symptoms.
I want to ask a question though. And I want everyone to know i'm still 95% on the train of this being a disregulated Amygdyla / HPA axis run amok. I try to bring loving acceptance everyday. But I still have symptoms even though I feel calm lots of the time, so there's a part of me that still is curious if I can "do" something. Someone recently contacted to me he's resolving his nervous system symptoms. He found he has a heavy metal toxicity and is doing some supervised chealtion (it's a risky process so he's doing it under some medical supervision)
I know nothing about heavy metals. I would love to be told to forget about this possibility, that my symptoms are just anxiety and I need to still give my disorder more time to heal. But ever since the beginning I've wondered if the weed I vaped (in a medically approved vaporizer no less, Storz and Bickel Mighty), was contaminated in someway. Perhaps the weed we vape has heavy metals in it? Can I just be told to forget about this? Our body just removes this stuff right? Or weed doesn't have enough in it for it to matter? My symptoms aren't bad enough? Etc. I would love to hear rebuttal to this so I can just keep going down the path I'm on. I may ask my doctor about it. Just wondering if anyone thinks this is totally crazy so I can forget about it sooner.
Wish you all well PAWS warriors.
