LMAO OH YEAH I can relate Raman I do caffeine at times, sometimes my work or play will run into the afternoons and I have to take a small caffeine pill or have a cup of Joe to get my thru it I only take one sometimes even half 25mg I have actually knodded off driving home, 2 O'clock in the afternoon is my nap time doh .

This week I got to the gym 3 times I have only been making it 1 time a week for months now just dont have the UMFFF to get there but I put my mind to it and cut back on prospecting for a few weeks which takes a lot out of me.

We're aging and a long with Hep C its tough going its a real struggle, at times.

God Give us the strengthbleh

OH I KNOWbleh

I Got a new hobbie Raman thats what I did. it spurn a new interest in life it energized and perked up my life. Thats why I got into propsecting last year , honestly the thing just GRABBED me and took me LOL.

In This last year I have not ever traveled so many miles seen so many places so much beauty, so much DIRT lol. I have found gold mother natures little treasure but the times I have had to sit and wonder and think of Gods creation and this has brought me thanks and gratitudes.

Getting out of my head and into this world , going places that gave me something like peace of mind, wonder and fantasys of riches, but its certainly not even about the riches its a lot more, so I keep going it gives me strength and endurance hiking hills, yes I am a sick man I know this probably dying but I ignore that and go on and enjoy the time i have for now  here on earth.

We dont let nothing get us down we rise above it now with courage and new strengths, no more weak or meek, we have power and strength in our walk and we take the wisdom of a fighter to others in this battle, we are warriors now and I, You share that strength in a world that is full of  sickness and pain and hurting people, people are dying of this disease and we have to show them how to live and be alive even when death wants to take us.

I am having a weird morning LOL lots of thoughts and anger and i'm not going to let it take me, my higher power gives me strength and determination over evil, I feel the spirit to survive and live good.

I'm with you both. I turned 47 in January and definitely have some achy days and some periods of less energy than usual. I am learning to listen to my body and respect when it needs rest.

Truthfully, I sometimes feel as if my body is betraying me.

On the other hand, I find that staying active and eating healthily decreases the low-energy days. I don't beat myself up with exercise or stringent dieting, but just try to make healthy choices. I really think it helps.

Self-acceptance is the key, dammit.

Hep C is a great torment BigV no doubt about it.

I'm 35, but my body & limb aches, the fatigue, the week stiff knees, pain in the muscles, makes me feel that I'm 53 smile.gif

Yep how we eat means a lot, the worse I eat the worse I feel.

Excercise keeps me energized and even virile biggrin at 47 I have a 32 year old girlfriend who I keep up with just fineweirdface


Tahir OMG you dont look a day over 50 LOL ( Honestly you look really young )I used to do 10 200mg ibuprophen every morning and sometimes even in the afternoon for years I did that, I am down to 5 in the morning and usually none in the afternoon. If I work more then 6 hours I start aching really bad so I get help on bigger jobs that takes some of the work load off me.

Mentally I get into a mess in the afternoon also, I make sure I am eating if I don't eat I CRASH HARD and have to sleep for at least an hour to recover then I'm only good for another few hours.

Its not getting easier just have to learn to adjust, I take a daily multi vitamin, grapeseed extract for immune system, milk thistle for my liver and magnesium to relax when I start stressing, these things help .

Blithe,, what yo share is true,, and Vini says so too,
eat right to feel right !!
many years ago I wnt vegetarian along with my sponsor of that time,,for a while i felt great as i really felt lighter.
Then i began hogging,, vene veg food when gorged on makes ones body feel heavy,blocked energy etc.
Now over a period of time,, especially after a gall bladder removel surgery about two years ago,I still come and go on the eat right to feel right motto,,,
now im looking at avoiding milk and milk products,, as i feel im past th need for milk in any form.
and already feeling lighter after even two days without it,,, so lets see,, I hope for the best !!!
May the Energiser Grant you the Power to carry out your hearts desires to fullfillment Tahir,,

Raman, I feel better since going vegetarian as well. I consume very little dairy as well and find that agreeable.

Tahir, do you get all the aches and stiff joints from hep-C? Have you done the treatments? Any herbal remedies? I've heard that milk thistle is very helpful.

I don't do milk I am lactose intolerant but I do soy milk now and then not a lot of that either. I get calcium from supplements and eat cheese and other dairy products that don't bother me.

Milk thistle will help some if I start aching in my liver I take it, when I was using I got the most horrible stabbing pains in my liver not anymore, the stabbing was scar tissue and damage occurring so hopeful abstanance has slowed that down .
