GM NOSTR AND PV!


VIBES UPDATE:
Right knee is still currently swollen and quite painful. Came out of nowhere, no traumatic incident that I am aware of.
Strangely, the same thing happened to my left knee about a year ago. Did some tests but at the time (including an MRI which did show some slight tearing of the meniscus), but it went away after a few months and I don’t like western medicine so I didn’t follow up.
What I’ve done so far to get my knee back on track:
-lots of rest, I move a lot usually but have largely been chilling. Sleep has been challenging with the pain.
-fasting: currently on hour 93 of a fast. Doing it to clean the body out and reduce inflammation. Likely going to tomorrow afternoon, so 112 hours or so. Has been a nice challenge.
-Got accupuncture from a guy who looks like Mr Miyagi. Was solid.
-have ordered a stack of supplements to take post fast that are anti inflammatory and gut healing.
-reengaged with my GP whose actually pretty solid. Going for bloodwork next week and have an MRI booked.
Can’t wait to break my fast tomorrow: bone broth with butter, followed by some eggs and sauerkraut a few hours later and finishing the day with some salmon and veggies.
Vibes = high 💪🏼
Hey NOSTR, thoughts on Traditional Chinese Medicine? #asknostr
GM NOSTR. Day 2 of my fast begins. Going for at least 72 hours but if feeling up for it will go longer (96-100+ hours).
Attempting to reduce inflammation in my body, and specifically my knee.
To add some context, about a year ago my left knee swelled up out of nowhere to the size of a grapefruit. I recall no traumatic injury, it just kinda swelled out of nowhere. The only thing to note (I think) was that it was a period of high stress in my life.
Lots of pain and decreased mobility. No more gym, no more hikes, walks reduced to hobbling.
I ran some blood tests (not comprehensive, it’s Canada) and got an MRI which did show some slight resting in the meniscus, and some degeneration of the cartilage. Although by the time I got my MRI the knee was back to form (Canadian healthcare)
Took about 3 months of physio to get back to regular scheduled programming (I’m a decently fit dude who loves to move his body). Dealing with and coming back from injury is a hero’s journey for sure.
Flash forward to a week ago (during another high stress period of my life) and the opposite knee has now begun to swell. I’m pretty bummed out about it but using it as an opportunity to build mental toughness and figure out why my body is doing this.
Is it stress? Bad biomechanics?Autoimmune disorder?
Anyways, focusing on what I can control. Currently fasting and doing light physio exercises. Mobility for the rest of my body. Stepping up my meditation practice.
Once I start eating again I’ll be shifting my diet to eat as little inflammatory foods as possible. Being on NOSTR, you know I’m not fucking with any seed oils, but I could definitely do a better job with gluten and sugar (I live close to some pretty next level bakeries), and I should probably cut back on my already limited use of alcohol.
Got some supplements to reduce inflammation like fish oils, vitamin d/k2, and stuff to make sure my gut health is on point. Magnesium to ensure sleep is high quality.
Anyways, any tips/feedback on the above will be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day and stay positive NOSTR 🤙🏼.
GN.
