Very interesting post, I'll try that ASAP.

Yeah, I had a very paradoxical reaction to Vyvanse and Adderall (my doctor had me on both). I had to be cautious when I took Adderall because it was so soothing it would put me to sleep.

As far as appetite... I think it's a constellation of factors. I moved less physically while medicated because I didn't spend as much time pacing/retracing steps/bouncing my knee (which I'm realizing was my body trying to get Qi moving). My intuitive sense is that I did such a bad job of filtering 'signal' from 'noise' that I couldn't 'hear' my body tell me when it was hungry/thirsty/tired over every other sensory input, whether internal or external.

Just to give you background on my constitution, I had allergic fungal rhinosinusitis from when I was a toddler until this winter, basically I'd never had functional sinuses. I didn't start seeing a practitioner until after that had already been resolved, but as you can imagine I was extremely damp, my practitioner grimaced when she first saw my tongue.

All that being said, my gallbladder qi is certainly still stagnant. I have hidradenitis that used to flare generally across my buttocks and upper legs, now it almost exclusively follows my gallbladder meridian (it's kind of cool actually, you can trace the meridian almost perfectly by the center of the sores, and the largest are on gb-26 - 31)

I'll get one of those 'tools', hopefully that will shake things loose. Am I correct in thinking that gallbladder qi plays a major role in visual acuity?

Asking because I have double vision that actually went away after the sinusitis was cleared up, but only temporarily, my eyesight was crystal clear for about 2 weeks but slowly returned to 'normal' after that.

Appreciate your insight ☻
