WTF? Dizzy-Numb Lips-Eye Strain (sorry bad vid quality from old iphone)

Update May 30, 2010
I have been experiencing daily the following symptoms: dizzyness, lip numbness, and vision problems. Its the dizziness that is really disturbing. WTF is this? Is it thyroid related? Is it detox? (I doubt that because I am only partially raw). Did I have a stroke? Am I having heart trouble? Lacking Oxygen? WTF? WTF? WTF? So... it official. I am starting a juice feast June 1st. These weird symptoms are freaking me out and even if its the worst I could ever imagine, I think I would do a juice feast BEFORE doing anything else.

drinking alot of pure water daily will help to flush yr system:) much love

[myroadhome]

@alisez1 oh yea, the water is always in issue for me. I seem to always run a bit dehydrated. Thanks!

@myroadhome a couple years back i took my some to hospital bcs he had all the symptons yr discribing and i found out he had dehydration (the numbness of lips ect).i suggest to drink at least 2 to 3 litres straight water a day. it also boosts the energy, well it has for me :))

[myroadhome]

@alisez1 wow, thats an interesting story about your son. and the numb lips. I will be sure to get my water in. Just bought a large gallon jug to bring to work. Thank-you!

Carleen I think you really need to go see a doctor... seriously. You don't even look good honestly.. that normal glow is not there and your eyes are dark and the fact that you have had those symptoms for a week, it isn't just a detox or something you ate. if nothing turns up at the doctor, then at least you have that eliminated.. I love you too much to want you to risk that... numbing lips is a serious symptom in a few things. and added ot the other stuff.. i'm a little concerned personally,

[myroadhome]

@Ishkiia yea, I know I really looked like crap in this vid. I was exhausted after a long day and was feeling the funkyness I was describing. Hmmm... well, I will see I how feel in a couple of days and if it persists I will check in with the doctor. This morning I woke up feeling clear headed and good. Drinking my juice at work - its a combo based on the one you have been doing (with the habeneros!) but I also added a beet and a carrot. Hows momma doing?

LAMBS! lol

You have a very soothing voice :) hope u fell better. Breathe deeply, (so oxygen flows) and massage your eye muscles and forehead. And drink lots of water.

@myroadhome most the cravings and hunger we have means we are dehydrated and its not about food at all . if i dont have my brita jug full of water handy i can forget to drink water but i notice i start feeling rundown and tired then i go have a litre and i feel alive again. water is sooo important .i beleive alot of people are overweight bcs they eat when theyre just thirsty.

[alisez1]

@myroadhome no worries! i just hope all yr symptoms clear up soon :)

[alisez1]

@alisez1 my son i mean lol dir

[myjourneytoraw]

Hmm... I think if you get to a point where you are really concerned that something is WRONG, then you need to seek help from a professional... it's so hard to say what might be causing the dizziness, etc... I wonder if the numb lips are from the habaneros?

[Ishkiia]

@myroadhome She is doing pretty good actually for her. Her oxygen level is staying up there and having to be on it less and less it seems since I have been here. Love you Carleen, please take care of yourself. I know what it is like to not have good health and as much as I would love to think it is a detox or something easily and naturally diagnosable, I'm not so sure about this one. many hugs and look forward to seeing you in August.

@kansabaker hmmm, well blood pressure is an easy one for me to get checked. Last time I had it checked was when I donated blood (about 3 weeks ago) and it was normal at that time but I will see if I can get it checked today at the local drugstore with one of those self serve BP machines (that ought to be an interesting experience). I really appreciate your insight and suggestion. : )

[kansabaker]

The symptoms you described made me think of high blood pressure. Hope you are able to figure out why you are not feeling well. Love seeing your animals and your farm!

[myroadhome]

@ponhand Raw fish (yuck!)...are you suggesting I eat that? Well, I hope you are right about the stomach... its not like I eat bread all the time, I guess on the videos it might seem like it. But, well any bread is still bread. Ok I got your point. I am not feeling dizzy this morning. I am going to make a big huge green juice for breakfast. Hey, we miss you. What are you up to?

[myroadhome]

@crosspecans I make a sheep milk soap and sell that at farmers markets : )

not dizzy this morning, yea!

[ponhand]

raw fish!!!!! for vision.. It seems that your stomach is so clean that as soon as the junk food, such as bread touches certain areas it effects you right away :)

[67blackgirl]

Thanks for the update....however, you voice sounds worried...have a heart to heart with your doctor...sometimes we try to push ourselves to hard and try and juggly to many things at once...keep well 

[crosspecans]

i bet you fig out the dizzy thing soon. sorry about the working on monday. are ya'll selling sheepies at the mkt? waves~~~

[myroadhome]

@Chemchoumi Ooo, great we are doing this together! Yippy!

[myroadhome]

@DianneRawGirl I know I always need to pay attention to my water intake. Thanks for the reminder on this! : )

[myroadhome]

@Phyle9 definately overworked and stressed... well, I was thinking I would do a day or two of water fast near the end of this juice feast (when ever that is).

[myroadhome]

@Avrilxxxmac hmmm, no on the crohns... I will research that. Thanks!

[Phyle9]

Get some rest, girl!!

You seem overworked.

Maybe stress?

I dunno... just guessing...

Rest and waterfast would be my suggestion :)

Anyway, be fine and hope you feel better soon!!
