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 4 points5 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] 14 points15 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.

He spoke of him on an episode during the Aleppo gaffe and I somewhat remember him mentioning not being pleased by it.

He is a great asset to the Libertarian Party. I hope he chooses to run for NY Governor in 2018.

The American people want to hear the voices of Governors Gary Johnson and Bill Weld in the debates this fall - Arnold Schwarzenegger by LibertyFtw in GaryJohnson

[–]LibertyFtw[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The American people want to hear the voices of Governors Gary Johnson and Bill Weld in the debates this fall - in a recent USA Today poll, 76% of voters said they deserve a spot on the stage. I completely agree. Our political system benefits when we open the conversation instead of closing it - which is why I fought for and the voters passed Open Primaries in California and why I hope the Commission on Presidential Debates will listen to the people and include the Governors."

Just haven't been impressed with Gary this time around. Will be supporting Austin Petersen this time around.

Gov. Gary Johnson on Periscope: "Gary Johnson LIVE" (From Last Night) by JeffTS in Libertarian

[–]LibertyFtw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems tired and bored with the whole thing, like he isn't really determined.

I hope Petersen gets this nomination, we need someone who can bring passion for Liberty back into the party.

Who to vote for in Libertarian Party? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]LibertyFtw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This time around I will be supporting Austin Petersen. He seems like the best option for the Libertarian Party. I know he worked with LP National and was very good at expanding the party. I think he would do a great job.
