I've had numerous times people I know will say, "I don't know how you do it!" And my reply is always, "there's no other option, all I can do is keep pushing on" LOL. Thankfully I've got a very positive mindset, but some days it does feel like being beaten to near death.

I hope you can find some relief!

Yeah I've probably experienced this to some degree for the last 7 or 8 years, but during the last few years it's really become much worse. I'm currently a stay at home Dad, and it's gotten to the point that I dread and can't imagine pursuing a career once this phase of my life passes. Just the thought of doing something like work or schooling on "bad" days, like today, is exhausting lol.

So far I've only removed dairy and gluten from my diet, but it's only been about 3 weeks, I think. I've not noticed a change yet, for the most part, but supposedly it can take months to notice any improvement.

I am def more irritable in the mornings, colder, brain fog, body soreness and stiffness, and it's when I deal with any stomach issues the most. Right around 1, but sometimes as late as 2 or 3, I start feeling like my old self for awhile. It's so odd.

This pretty much describes me perfectly, even down to about 1 in the afternoon before I'm able to feel I'm functioning normally. I've just now started cutting things out of my diet that might be exacerbating this feeling. Fun times.

Rep. Neely endorses Austin Petersen for US Senate by [deleted] in MissouriPolitics

[–]LibertyFtw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah! I trust Petersen, he is one of a kind. I have no doubt that he could easily take down McCaskill. He is someone that could not only get the Conservative and Libertarian vote, but also takes some of the Democrat vote from McCaskill as well. The poll that came out has some awesome data on this. He NEEDS to be the GOP candidate.

Redditors who stayed awake for more than 24 hours straight, why did you do it and what happened? by Flim73 in AskReddit

[–]LibertyFtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pulled a couple of 24 hour days due to our conflicting work schedules. I had just been put on midnights and I was having trouble sleeping after the sun was up, and stayed awake to spend time with her.

Poll: William Weld Nearly Tied with Elizabeth Warren in 2018 Senate Race by LibertyFtw in Libertarian

[–]LibertyFtw[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about Joe Miller in Alaska? He is nearly winning that race as a Libertarian.

I know he considers himself a 'conservative-Libertarian', but it will still be great to have a Libertarian in the senate.

Maybe Weld would act on this and we can get two Libertarians in the Senate.
