I have been having cognitive issues, anyone else been having problems? If I'm.getting ready to do something, sometimes I'll stop in the middle of doing what I am to do and forget what I was about to do.. I've Lso been feeling like I'm not in my own body, like I'm in a dream...

Weird!

Anybody know what this is?

I don't know what this is but this also happens to me a lot. I not only forget what I am about to but I also have pain so bad that it feels like I am not in my body. If you don't mind me asking do you have sickle cell trait or sickle cell? And so do you ever have pain from it? I hope you feel better

Sorry you suffering and I hope your lungs get better. Also I have had fluid on my lungs I've had ammonia twice. I have really bad chest pain as well my chest pain makes it hard for me to move and walk. I have very sharp intense chest pain and I have sickle cell trait. I am told the pain isn't from sickle cell trait but it is everyday and constant.

They now suspect I have lupus or Mctd on top of the sickle cell

Oh Wow they said I had Lupus too but my test was negative. I have similar symptoms of someone who has sickle cell anemia.

Hi,

What I do is take high doses of fish oil. 10 grams per day. This helps the blood flow. I also make magnesium oil. You can use Epson salt or flakes. You take 1/2 cup of hot water and a half of cup of magnesium. Put it in a spray bottle and I add a few drop of lavender. I spray my body in the morning and again at night. I just let it dry. If I start to have any pain in the night I get up and spray again. It helps the RNA and the DNA. The other thing that helps me is doing intermittent fasting. This helps the cells. I do drink water but fast every day 18 to 24 hours. I also take D3 daily. And various other supplements. I was told I would not live this long. Since doing this my brain works great. I also take high doses of Turmeric pills, lyposolmol vitamin c in high doses. I am rarely getting pain crisises since doing this. No more fluid build up in my lungs. I drink water with lemon and use apple cider vinegar daily. Sugar is a killer for the blood building. I switched to Stevia with erthitol. I also use MSM and Vitamin C drops for my eyes. Because I worry about going blind because so many of my family members have had blindness due to the sickle cells .

Try it and see if this helps you.

Dr.V.

You would have to go on the Ketogenic diet and it will help is you have Lupus. Do you have a lot of bruises?
