Hiatus and experience

I did my second flush on 19th December. I don't know why I haven't written about it until now, but I haven't. So apologies for that. Actually I do. Things are on the move. I've been quite ill a few times since then and emotionally I have been all over the place. I thought things were settling down on Friday last week and I'm a lot happier about my life now, but then I was struck by ANOTHER BLOODY COLD over the weekend! So. In short I am not doing a flush this month. I'm taking a time out to rest. When you can't breathe because your nose is blocked and you can't taste much the last thing you want is to do is be drinking a litre of malic acid water for six days because...that is all you can actually taste. 

However, my last flush: The haul on stones was not as impressive as the first, which was a little disappointing I must say (those who have flushed will understand me here). I have also magically lost the photo of the stones that did come out so I can't post it here (GAH!!) I remember them being mostly pretty small and certainly none as big as the ones first time.

I also remember thinking how utterly VILE and PUTRID the epsom salt part of the flush is. I tried mixing it with a small amount of fruit juice, but that did nothing to make it taste better. It works (slightly) better to mix the salts with warm water, leave it to cool then drink it (it tastes less disgusting when cool than warm) then follow with a tiny swig of fruit juice to rid your mouth of the taste of the salts. That doesn't mean it stops it being disgusting, it doesn't. I need to clarify how utterly disgusting it is.  It really is the most horrible part of the flush in my opinion. You can't even block off your nose and just drink the stuff - IT'S HORRIBLE! There is no way to describe how nauseating it is to swallow. Apparently there are other things that can be taken to do a similar job, but none are as effective as the b*****d epsom salts. Great.

On a more positive note, after only two flushes my menstrual cycle seems to be lengthening (yay!). My usual cycle is 26 days. You could set a watch by it, a watch that required some freakish 26 day long setting anyway. Now it seems to be creeping towards the 28 day mark. This is a good thing! I'm interested to see how it develops over the course of the flushes and I'm hoping by the end of it all I'll be in sync with the lunar calendar etc. 

Since starting the flushes I've noticed that I'm not hungry for breakfast until mid morning. This is quite bizarre for me because I have always (in recent years, not so much as a teenager) been a breakfast person. In-fact I would wake up so hungry that I'd have to eat before getting showered and dressed or I'd feel faint in the shower. So to not want breakfast immediately is a little disconcerting. 

I can't think of anything else that has changed, but if it does I shall be sure to note it.

My next flush is still scheduled for 20th February so I shall see you after that.
