update:

I went to the doctors and found out I had a sinus infection, which was causing the numbness in my forehead. I am now taking amoxicillin for it and it has changed me a lot. It has seem to change everything from before.

I know where I am going

I know what I am doing most of the time.

I can focus now, my memory has increased.

I can actually feel now.

I'm not disgusted by anything I see and don't fall into my head and feel hatred towards everybody and everything. It is great.

It has only been 3 days so who knows where this could go. I will come back after the full ten days. Then probably after that also. I hope this last. It feels great. I can't begin to explain. It seriously feels great.

It's amazing what doctors can change. Do you think it's due to the drug, or to the absence of a past problem? Anyway, I'm glad this worked out.

(Had a similar run-in recently when it comes to chiropractors. You'd be surprised what 5 misaligned vertebrae can do)

you will need to wash your sinuses out everyday with a salt solution for two weeks after the antibiotic is done to prevent a repeat infection. Sinus infections are hard to get rid of.

boil a cup of water, add 3 tablespoons of salt, let cool to room temp and then cup it in your hand and snort it up in your sinuses and blow out, repeat 5 times.

do this everyday and it will prevent a repeat infection.

also eat live culture yogurt like activia while you are on antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.

I am glad you are feeling better.

It has been 5 days now. I'm feeling better. 5 days left so we will see what happens after that. I will hop on the salt water after this. This is not been fun to say the least.
