Hi joey, you're welcome. Glad to hear you're finding things that are helping. I wouldn't pin too much on what other people think or whether you hit the heights of a great social weekend or not, so long as you are finding things that are helping your health and you're coping ok. I try not to take too much notice of what other people think, because you wind up getting hurt.

I need to work on my candida also. You've made me think too, as bad as mercury is and other issues, the fact is the immune system is down and yeast and bacteria etc (parasites all of them) can pull it down even further and not allow you to get back up or heal or detox properly.

So I need to get on my diet better than what I am. Iv'e been cheating lately because of taking my neice and nephew out and I wind up eating what they're eating.

Take care and expect the ups and downs from others socially, don't take things to heart if you have a downer for a weekend. Just hang in there and keep doing what you're doing to heal yourself. Things will get more balanced the more you stick to keeping these health problems in check and not allowing them to gain a foothold again (as I do too often).

And yeah, with this illness and all the other stuff going with it, it plays havoc with your mind and emotions and how you perceive others, life in general and yourself. It's very wearying because of the continual fluctuations I have and I'm sure others have too. It even alters the way I look all the time. I can't figure it out.
