0 Peppermint oil.. Vol 2

Last time I tried peppermint oil, it was a total failure. But I am not a girl that quits that easy. So now I have purchased peppermint tea online, and today the tea arrived..

The tea smells really strong of peppermint, so I know already that this tea is gonna clear up my sinuses. And chase every single germs, and viruses away from my property!
Lets hope we have a better outcome this time :) To Be Continued........

3 Peppermint oil experiment......

I  have said that i would write a little more about different medicines, procedures, etc. I thought that i would try different alternative procedures, and tell you if it worked or didn't. I will have to try some of them over a period, and then tell you how they went.

The first alternative medication: Peppermint oil.

The first: always do as the manufacturer say you should. 2-3 drops of oil in a glass of water.
My boyfriend took 3 drops of oil in a teaspoon with water. It was like hell had come up and taken a vacation in my esophagus. My esophagus was on fire, right there and then i hoped it would burn of my spasms forever,
but it "only" started some really unpleasant spasms to put it nicely.
And my boyfriend and my mother they started laughing because of the expressions in my face, and i felt like i had swallowed a big habanero.
But it didn't stop there, My boyfriend really believes in alternative medicine so he said i had to try it again, because i should try it more than once before i throw the ideas out of the window.
So i tried it again, stupid, stupid me, and once more hell took a long weekend in my esophagus. Maybe they thought that my esophagus was the Eiffel tower?

And once shame on my boyfriend, twice shame on me, so i looked it up on the internett, and there it was, most of the people out there having esophagus spasms, they take peppermint oil in capsules, and not pure oil because it is very strong.
I cant swallow any capsules yet, they are to big, so until i don't have to eat mashed food , this is a lost cause.
I am not giving peppermint oil up, there are a lot of people that get relief from this, so i hope i will to. But until i can swallow peppermint oil capsules, it will have to wait!

2 what now

i have tried pills Adalat no effect, Viagra(Sildenafil) no effect, in any way at all. you get where i am going, they have tried Botox 4 times, 2 times successful, and 2 times not the improvement that we had hoped for. i have taken stesolid, ketorax IV, morphine IV (stopped using morphine IV cause I had an allergic reaction), antidepressants, oxyContin, ketalar, ketroax PCA pump, nitroglycerin(1, 2), ketogan, lyrica, neurontin, epidural and a whole lot more i can’t even remember. but look at the bright side, who else have gotten the government to pay for Botox and Viagra??

i have tried acupuncture (see bottom of the page), 3 drops of peppermint oil in a glass of water, Oliclinomel, and i am going to try hypnosis to better deal with the whole pain situation. i am willing to try everything, and when you end up in my position you have to try everything, or you have lost. I also go to a psychologist; you have to treat your whole body, not just the physical but also the psychic part. everything goes together.
Of course there are days that i crawl under my blankets and want to stay there forever, but that is a part of the healing process. to come to terms with the fact that this is permanent, but i am far from coming to terms with it, hell no....

but i can’t keep doing this everything is perfect to friends and family, i have to change, i have this problem that i don’t want people to see that i am sick, but how can people be considerate if they don’t know that i am having a bad day. my only fear is that they will see it as irritating and not just me being sick me. we have to work on that one.
I must do this for me, and only me, and don’t feel guilty because i cant just do things impulsively. i have medicines and energy level to take into account when i say yes or no to something. and i guess i cant feel guilty if i don’t have the energy to do everything.
but i always feel guilty if i don’t give a 110% for someone else, i live to help others, probably why i joined the red cross to help. it gives me more, then i think i give them, but still, i have to learn to say NO, but how do i do that without feeling bad? i wanna make people feel good... without draining myself of energy
