No one warned me that day 2 would be the hardest, but it still wasn’t as hard as I had expected.

I slept hard with really intense dreams.  It was like my nap the previous day where I was aware I was dreaming and I just couldn’t move.  But unlike the nap, there was no deep dark hole of no return.  I was kind of numb for an hour after getting up, but I woke up joyful and excited to see what the day had in store.  I never wake up joyful.  I felt good, rested and only a little hungry.

I have been getting cold lately just before bed, but last night I wasn’t cold.  The morning was good.  I did get cold in the middle of the day so I went to my room and put on fuzzy socks and crawled into bed.  That helped.

In the afternoon I got a headache and an upset stomach with a lot of burping.  I got hungrier and my stomach hurt.  The doctor gave me bubbly water for the upset stomach.  I love bubbly water anyway so this was a double treat and it helped.  I got a white patchy tongue which they said will go away if I drink more water.  Based on my vitals, the doctor said I was detoxing and that my liver was working extra hard today.  He asked how many glasses of water I had today and I couldn’t remember if it was two or three.  I have now lost the ability to count to three.  The glass they gave me to measure how much water I’m drinking is so large that I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold it in a couple days.  I got a smaller glass.  The symptoms are usually the worst on day 2 and 3 and should get better by day 4.

I went to a sound healing class in the afternoon.  I was the only one there.  The teacher and I ended up talking most of the session and he was very grounded and able to really connect with me.  It was wonderful.  Then he did a few minutes of sound healing with an Indian flute and then a didgeridoo.   It was wonderful.  My nausea was gone and my headache was gone.  Both were back 10 minutes later.

My head feels fat and full.  Sometimes it feels light and devoid of energy.  Right before going to bed, I  noticed that my leg muscles and the muscles around the collar bones felt tingly.  It felt like stuff is moving out of them or evaporating.

Time for bed and intense weird dreams!
