@ironbith That energy would be part of pushing myself. I'm attempting to put on the whole "I feel fine" front when I'm in social situations when I can. Just messing around. I want to see how people react! :-) LOL Although I did feel oddly good for a few hours & while making the vid so that's definitely part of it. It's always exciting when you feel decent! Weird, oats are one of the things that I have trouble with, it usually makes my fibro flare up or makes my joints hurt! LOL!
Wow check out all that energy I hear in your voice! I have the anxiety thing myself. it does suck! I do as many things as I can when I am up to it, I completely understand. Oatmeal/Granola helps me feel calm. I make alot of baked fries to get my salt, so I will have to take notice if it helps me.
Regarding the potato...I wonder if it has to do with Serotonin?? I've read that potato creates an insulin response that effects the movement of the amino acid tryptophan from your blood into your brain. Your body uses tryptophan to make serotonin. I'm not exactly sure why POTsies have issues with serotonin, but I know my doc has me on an SSRI, so there could be a connection there? Anyway just thought I'd share and apologize for the brain fog..time for a potato I think :-)
@pleasesendyourmind Now that's an interesting idea... I may actually be able to test it because I think I have some old tryptophan supplements around here somewhere. Melatonin is also in the same bag I believe, in terms of being a precursor to seratonin, so I could try a little melatonin before bed and tryptophan in the morning and see if I feel better the next day! Thanks for the idea :-)
Potatoes are a good source of potassium, also. Gotta love the manly potsies!
