inflamation switching words and stress (generally i'm feeling better)

i'm generally feeing better. i'm using this stuff called BioFreez that my chiropractor gave me samples of for inflamation and I'm taking the Primrose Oil 2x a day.

my anxiety is slightly returning but i think its due to excess energy. i'm switching my words around here and there like yesterday i said bathroom instead of something else completely different.

my stress tolerance level is 0 and my couzin really stressed me yesterday. i feel bad because i want to be there for people who need people but i can't like my ability is not there anymore.

also i decided despite being worried i'm on the wrong treatment plan I will stick with my antibiotics and my doctor in the meantime. when he takes me off the meds a few days will go by and i will relapse. then he will probably try another med when i will suggesst Levaniquin or something like that...
