Been putting off exploring the latest updates. Not through fear, just procrastinating while trying out what the future holds.
The hypnosis is on a plateau. Neither of the prior two sessions went any deeper, or revealed any great mysteries. They did chip away a little and each time helps to get more familiar with the process. This session last night was a bit different. It ratcheted it up a gear and placed a little more control into my hands as an observer. I was able to gain some 3rd person perspective and not be in the moment.
A short session just to get to that point and loosen up this blockage/box/scar so I can tackle it head on Thursday. The sensation of 'going under' seems much easier now. The awareness is much more clear during the period as well. And a confidence to explore memories more with curiosity than any trepidation.
Second opinion doctor has said some contradictory things. More blood works covering heavy metals (lead, arsenic, etc), auto-immune conditions and to confirm that I'm still producing insulin all came back in normal ranges.
First thing he's saying is that he doesn't believe I have diabetes type 2 and that there's some other cause of the high blood glucose. It's the only thing that's out of normal range for any test, other than too high B12.
He highlights that none of the expected risk factors are present, that it has been a sudden onset and that the neuropathy doesn't present in a pattern associated with diabetic neuropathy.
It should take a lot longer (years) with much high levels of blood sugars to cause the extent of the current nerve damage, and it's not presenting consistent with diabetes, so we need to explore other possibilities since it's progressive.
Fuzzy headaches still present.
Will be going back to Reiki again, since I'm feeling like there's something to it now.
Learning a lot and taking up some new angles to explore, but not feeling the same level of connection in some of this newer info. Nothing is resonating so far for me. Not in the same way. Broadening the knowledgebase of the mythologies and religious foundations of Egypt is motivating enough. Isis is an interesting character, however.

Sounds a fascinating journey

While targeted for sufferers of diabetic neuropathy, we're going to give this one a shot:

The endocrine system
The adrenal glands, which lie above the kidney, are composed of the cortex and the medulla. The adrenal cortex synthesizes and secretes steroid hormones that are essential for life, but it is not under autonomic control. The adrenal medulla, on the other hand, is innervated by sympathetic preganglionic neurons. Within the adrenal medulla are chromaffin cells, which are homologous to sympathetic neurons and, like sympathetic neurons, are developed from embryonic neural crest cells. Chromaffin cells produce epinephrine (adrenaline) and, to a much lesser extent, norepinephrine as well as other chemicals, such as chromogranins, enkephalins, and neuropeptide Y—all of which are released into the bloodstream and act as hormones. Epinephrine in particular affects many different types of tissues throughout the body and has a particularly potent effect on cells that possess β-adrenoceptors.
The release of epinephrine prevents hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) through the following mechanism. By binding to α2-adrenoceptors embedded in the hormone-releasing cells of the pancreas, epinephrine inhibits the release of insulin. Since insulin promotes the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream into liver, skeletal muscle, and fat cells, inhibition of its release results in a greater amount of glucose that is available for entry into the brain. In addition, by binding to certain β-adrenoceptors, epinephrine stimulates the release of glucagon, a pancreatic peptide hormone that acts in the liver to convert glycogen to glucose. Under emergency conditions, epinephrine causes even more widespread effects on glucose metabolism. Glycogen in the liver and skeletal muscle is broken down to glucose; fat held in adipose cells is converted to fatty acids and glycerol; and production of glucose and ketone bodies (e.g., β-hydroxybutyric acid and acetoacetic acid) is increased in the liver. All of these substances can be used as energy sources for the body.

Could there be a spot(s) in your nervous system that is being compressed causing the neuropathy?
That's what caused mine- compression of the nerves within my lower spine.

I've though about that, although I'm told that the spread pattern isn't from the back, but I'm open to it. Going to get new MRIs anyway. Perhaps it's possible. I think there's a back issue for sure, but maybe not directly related to this nerve issue.

I don't think they are going to know for sure unless they look and rule it out. I was always told my back issues were from one thing, when in fact they were from something far more different. They didn't see the extent of my compression or even the reason for it until they did a myelography. It was not pleasant.
