This weekend we started with a new CANDIDA regime...to try rid my Horsie of his underlying Candida (THRUSH) systemic - meaning throughout his body (maybe even in his brain)...
WHY?
Because he is NOT sleeping...
He sleeps for a few hours say between 7-11pm and then wakes...almost impulsively as if he won some kind of jackpot or the lotto or something BIG (in that sort of category) and seems high and cant switch off til round 4am...yes 4am...so my MOM who is an absolute SAINT.. (mostly is my sanity keeper) ...takes care of our Horsie...
WHY? Because she is somewhat of an insomniac and as a grandmother has FAAAAR more patience than the average...and well because she is selfless, loving, kind and totally loves ME and HORSIE!!! (Cant think of any other reason why)
Anyway back to the no sleep and the medicine regime...
Now with this regime comes exacerbation of ANY behavioural issues you currently we are dealing with...for us its...SHRIEKING...
Horsie has been delivering EAR piercing HIGH HIGH decibel SHRIEKS and believe me when I say...it ain't OPERA or FUN on the ears..in fact I cant take it...there I said it...I CANT...
So this weekend with the new meds for candida its been particularly NERVE wrecking and tough...lots of tears...lots of shrieking...lots of acting out...biting of his own hands...lots of pinching and scratching....this behaviour is usually when he is in pain...and well he is...his bowel is under siege...
WE ARE KILLING off the yeast overgrowth and candida...and Horsie's body is NOT PLEASED...
Why are we doing this...AGAIN...to sleep...anyone who does not sleep or suffers from insomnia who perhaps has a few nights of terrible sleep can relate...its the most horrible LACK OF...a person can have...its devastating to your productivity to your focus to your mind...all of which we are trying to improve for Horsie...therefore counter productive...
ITS EXHAUSTING...
6 years of it....
Lets hope these symptoms die down soon...pardon he pun...
THIS IS REALLY IS NOT FUN!!!
