I'm hot then cold then hot then cold. Cannot find a comfortable temperature on my AC thermostat. My lower back is aching. My BP is 112/77. My chest/ribs are aching. My tongue is starting to get a yellow coating.
I have a special tooth brush that I use to brush my tongue with Iodine. The first time I did it with 2% and my tongue bled. So be forewarned if you are considering it. I persisted and now I can brush my tongue with 5%. I be very careful not to get it on my teeth, and rinse well afterwards. My tongue feels so fresh and healthy from doing this. I am missing the tongue brushing, but afraid the Iodine might interfere with ketosis via absorption.
Should I endure this nasty tongue, or brush with the old faithful?
I wouldn't be concerned with ketosis being interfered with over a bit of iodine, but rather autolysis and the body's swiftest and most perfect transition towards balance, homeostasis and optimal functioning. My recommendation here would be to brush your teeth only with water using any brush you'd like. It works wonders for oral hygiene including breath and you can have this quickly verified through a trusted loved one. All of your symptoms seem quite normal in a fast and all i know to do for the hot/cold issue is to continually make the necessary adjustments to keep yourself comfortable.
thanks for the support and advice
i am having a lot of leg and back pain
the only thing that seems to ease it is walking
so i went for a walk
on the walk i got really thirsty
when i got back the pain was gone
until i took a sip of water to quench the thirst
holy moly within a minute the pain came back ten times worse!!!
the muscles in my legs and back and ribs all
felt like they were being stretched off the bones!!!
i wondered if it was energetic memory of being tortured on a stretch rack
began to wonder if rubbing some arnica or sore no more on them
would mess up my body's ability to make a swift return to balance???
it is unbelievable muscle burning pain
at least i can get up and walk while fasting this time
the last time i tried fasting, i could barely move
while taking note that my pain goes away when I walk
someone called for a massage
and I decided to do it
because otherwise i am just pacing the floor
or going for a walk in the heat
or looking for some reason to go to the store and keep moving
since i mostly walk back and forth by the massage table
giving a massage was very appealing to me
a good way to make money and end the pain
i made it through the massage
the client was talkative
asking lots of questions
it took great effort for me to talk to him
i was all out of breath
my chest ached
but not as bad as when i ride my mountain bike
he left and the pain was back
i could not sit or lie down without being in pain
could barely sleep last night
kept getting up and walking
made an appointment with a chinese nazi massage therapist
he worked me over good
put some linament on me
the pain is gone
i can sit and squat and lie down without the stretching burning sensation
hope the linament did not mess up my fast
i sure feel a whole lot better
