So, other than that, are you well?
(oooo, bad me, bad bad bad).
I shall rethink how sorry I've felt for myself for some plain old ordinary age related aches and pains, and quite minor sensitive reactions compared to yours.
Not that that is much comfort to you, of course.
No! NO!
I was and am, obviously, unhappy about the whole illness "My body betrayed me, It's too hard, I can't do this, etc, etc, Waah, waah, waah!" BUT the benefits I've gained FAR outweigh the physical deficits I need to accomodate!
In many ways I am in better health than I ever used to be because now I have to be conscious of it! My quirky digestion requires me to cease and desist from throwing any old junk at it and then expecting significant "performance." This principle applies to most choices I need to make every day.
I am most certainly healthier from a mental and spiritual point of view because it's unlikely I'll ever have to face anything that scary again. So I've regained some of the "fearless invincibility" most teenagers feel - I especially enjoy the fearless part but my husband doesn't!
Also I learned who my REAL friends are and who ACTUALLY cares about us - that is incredibly valuable as I now know there are a select few whom I
can trust to hold my life (or my family's lives) in their grubby liitle paws and
they will not harm me/us!THAT is freedom - not how far I can('t) walk, or how much stamina I have(n't), or what or when I can('t) eat, or whether or not I can('t) be in a toxic area!
Listen to your body. Give it what it asks for. "Pamper" those issues and they will start to minimise.
With regard to Rooibos:

Ah, it seems I can get that here.
I asked because so often something wonderful in one place will be taken, overprocessed, mucked about with, and named as the original product when it is not.
There are brands with a better reputation than others ... The best one has pictures of ox-wagons on the front. What is available to you?
It's been over a year since, and I've forgotten the brand, and I don't recall an ox-wagon on the label.
I've done a bit on online searching on the subject and found this information. I'd enjoy and appreciate your comments on the accuracy and your suggestions. Thanks.
